The GSM Test for Winter Coats
One number on a label predicts whether a wool coat reaches its third winter. It is almost never on the front of the tag.

Fashion & Accessories
Garment desks usually report on what is new. Ours reports on what is old: fabric weight, stitch density, how a shoulder seam holds after two hundred wears, and what a repair actually costs.
