Each source is averaged first, then sources are weighted by reliability: audits, lab tests and verified-buyer platforms count most, rating organisations and expert reviewers less, brand-run reviews and community opinion least. Review scores also weigh by how many reviews stand behind them, and anything older than three years fades.

Sourcing & ethics

Patrick Grant's label that fills UK factories' quiet periods, so every garment and most fabrics are made in Britain. Blackburn is the home of its founding factory; the site names no HQ, and the 2016 date is inferred from its Kickstarter.
