Every piece is graded by hand against the same five steps. We would rather under-promise.
New with tags
Unworn, tags attached. Rare, and always noted.
Like new
Worn once or twice at most. No visible wear, no fading, no pilling.
Excellent
Worn, cared for, and holding its shape and colour. Nothing you would notice at arm's length.
Good
Honestly worn. Some softening, light fading or minor pilling — the character a garment earns. Anything more specific is called out in the description.
Well loved
Real wear, and priced for it. Fading, thinning at the elbows or a small mark, always photographed and described. Bought by people who want exactly that.
Any flaw beyond normal wear — a stain, a hole, a broken zip — is stated in the first line of the description, not buried at the bottom.
