Specifications, then evidence, then a score
Full methodology- Step 1
Record the specification
Inseam, front and back rise, waist and hip per size, fibre content, waistband construction, pockets, opacity. Sourced from the brand and dated.
- Step 2
Wear it and write it down
Hours worn, washes, the size ordered against the tester’s usual size, whether it was kept or returned, and why.
- Step 3
Score with the basis shown
Each dimension is labelled “from testing” or “from specifications”. Anything unmeasured reads “Not measured” rather than being guessed.
