This product scored 68/100 on the material-quality rubric (durability, comfort, breathability, warmth, moisture-wicking, care-ease), based on its composition of 50% Organic Cotton, 50% Recycled Cotton. Sustainability is scored separately as the Eco Rating. Blended from 50% Organic Cotton, 50% Recycled Cotton — the score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
C (55-69): Average material composition — typical blend, reasonable for everyday wear.

Better-than-typical fabric, but priced above the category median.
Fabric value only — compares material quality to price vs other sweaters. Construction, fit, and brand aren't measured.

Sustainability is scored separately — see the Eco Rating below.

Recycled synthetic reduces virgin plastic use, but still sheds microfibers. Better than new plastic, but natural is best.
Reasonable cost-per-wear
Base for Sweaters: 100 expected wears.
× 0.70 for Organic Cotton (low-durability fiber, durability 53).
= 70 expected wears. $139 ÷ 70 ≈ $1.99/wear.
Missing GSM — this is a category-level estimate, not garment-specific. Expect ±30% variance.
Real life is messier than a formula: how often you wash, how you wash, whether you wear it inside-out, dry on low — all of it shifts the number. This is the ceiling under reasonable care.
