Before care begins, we listen.
Condition Before Category
Fiber content provides a starting point. Condition determines possibility. We look for brittleness, thinning, and loss of resilience.
Construction as Forecast
Seam allowances, interfacing attachment, stitch density, and pattern alignment reveal future viability.
Wear as Evidence
Collar, cuff, and hem reveal use. Uneven wear signals fit issues.
Color Integrity
Crocking, fading, and dye loss determine restoration potential.
Assessment is a forecast of service, not a judgment of worth.
