The Soft Edit

Natural fiber, graded

A short list of clothes worth keeping.

Fast fashion hides behind polyester and clever names. We read the fabric label so you do not have to, then grade every piece on what it is actually made of. Only real natural fiber makes the list.

Didn't make the list

Sold as linen, satin, or "CruiseLinen." The label said viscose, rayon, lyocell, or polyester. We graded 399 and 179 did not make it. Here are 24 of them; see every rejected piece and its reason.

The standard

How we grade

One rubric, applied the same way every time. The grade is computed by our tool from the fabric label, not chosen by an editor and never moved by a commission.

  1. A

    All natural. One hundred percent natural fiber, with no synthetics, elastane, or processed cellulose. The cleanest pieces we find.

  2. B

    Natural, a little stretch. At least ninety five percent natural fiber with up to five percent elastane. Still firmly natural.

  3. C

    Natural, with stretch. A natural fabric with up to fifteen percent elastane, more give for everyday wear, and still on the list.

  4. D, F

    Left off the list. Any petroleum synthetic, regenerated cellulose like viscose or modal (which we treat as processed, not natural), or too little natural fiber to count.
