Quality Analysis 60/100
This Folsom T-shirt, while stylish with its vintage-inspired distressing, is made from a mid-weight, stretchy waffle-knit cotton, which offers a comfortable fit but isn't designed for rugged wear. The "heavy distressing along the hem" is a deliberate design choice, not a sign of wear, but it does mean the garment starts with an intentionally worn look.
Comfort Assessment 90/100
This Folsom T-shirt offers a comfortable, relaxed feel thanks to its slightly loose fit and dropped shoulder seams. Plus, the mid-weight, stretchy waffle-knit cotton fabric ensures easy movement and a pleasant drape.
Sustainability Impact 80/100
This Folsom T-shirt is crafted from 100% cotton, a natural fiber, which is a positive step towards sustainability. However, the "distressed" finish and "vintage black" dye may indicate additional processing.
