// What we measure

Make: Construction quality. Materials, workmanship, the actual making.
Fit: Sizing accuracy and cut consistency. Does it fit like the brand says it will.
Style: Visual strength and design coherence. Aesthetic intent, not trend.
Value: Quality-for-price. What you get versus what you pay versus what else costs the same.
Practical: Day-to-day wearability, care, durability. How it lives in a wardrobe.
Stance: The brand's point of view. Deliberate house, or commercial drift.
