What we read and checked
Read the evidence and its qualifications alongside each finding.
Recorded features & ownership
Every listing read fibre by fibre against the stated composition. Where a garment states no percentage, it is recorded as undisclosed rather than assumed.
This catalogue has not been read in full yet. A Throne fibre score and composition breakdown are published only once every in-scope style has been read, so no fibre percentage is shown until the read is complete.
What the sources support
Honest Basics states all of its products are vegan.

Work out the real cost per wear
Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.
Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
