The Fabric Files Reads the Label Before You Buy
An independent fashion publication explains fiber, weave, weight, care, and the quality signals hidden in clothing labels.
Field notes
The site organizes fabric literacy around the information a shopper can actually find on a garment label: fiber percentages, construction terms, weight measures, and care requirements. Its visible coverage uses concrete reference points, including a 17.5-micron merino threshold, a discussion of the 5% elastane ceiling, and cashmere grades based on fiber length and thickness. The homepage also includes an Answers section for narrower questions such as GSM, silk momme, pilling, and linen wrinkling.
