Attribute deep dive

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

Quality Analysis 90/100

This overshirt is crafted from durable tech-shell, ensuring resilience for everyday wear, and features robust horn buttons for lasting quality. The lightly padded, non-stretchy fabric further contributes to its sturdy construction.

Comfort Assessment 70/100

This overshirt offers a cozy feel with its soft, insulating wool and cashmere-blend lining, perfect for adding warmth. However, the non-stretchy fabric might feel a bit restrictive for some, especially those with broader shoulders.

Sustainability Impact 50/100

The garment features conventional fossil-fuel synthetics (100% polyester) with no mention of recycled content, which is a key area for improving sustainability. Additionally, the use of horn buttons and a wool/cashmere blend lining does not include any information on traceability or animal welfare.
