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.

Portuguese denim brand founded by the Vila Nova siblings; Reddit quotes the brand saying almost all its denim comes from local suppliers in northern Portugal, and it runs its own industrial unit. Owned since 2020 by Portuguese group Sonae (50% in 2016).
