Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 80/100

This overshirt is crafted from durable cassan cotton, a mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric, suggesting good resilience for everyday wear. The roomy cut and straight hem also contribute to less stress on seams during movement.

Comfort Assessment 70/100

This overshirt, crafted from durable cassan cotton, offers a roomy shape and a slightly loose fit, suggesting good freedom of movement. However, the mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric might feel less adaptable than garments with stretch.

Sustainability Impact 70/100

This overshirt is made from 100% cotton, a natural fibre, and is manufactured in Italy, which can sometimes indicate higher labour standards compared to some other regions. However, without further information on the cotton's origin, organic status, or specific manufacturing practices, it's impossible to determine its environmental impact or true sustainability.
