Attribute deep dive

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

Quality Analysis 80/100

This Paul Smith suit jacket, crafted from a mid-weight wool and linen-blend, features durable 100% horn buttons, suggesting a garment built to last. The fully lined interior also contributes to its structural integrity and longevity.

Comfort Assessment 60/100

This suit jacket, while impeccably tailored, is made from a mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric, which suggests a more structured feel rather than a flexible, movement-friendly comfort. The fully lined interior with viscose may offer a smooth feel against the skin, but the overall rigidity of the wool and linen blend will limit its comfort for active wear.

Sustainability Impact 60/100

This suit jacket contains conventional wool and buffalo horn buttons without any information on animal welfare or traceability, which impacts its sustainability score.
