Fabric Passport

Six data points that tell the truth about cloth.

Every WEARON piece carries one. We started doing this because the language of luxury fashion has become almost meaningless.

The principle

Words you can verify.

“Premium cotton.” “Fine knit.” “Quality fabric.” None of those phrases tell you anything checkable.

The Fabric Passport is our attempt at the opposite. Six data points, all verifiable, attached to every garment we make. Below is what each one means and why it matters.

The six data points

What's on every passport.

01

Mill of origin

The factory where the fabric was woven, named. Most luxury houses won't tell you. We disagree — the loom matters as much as the design. See our partner mills.

02

Yarn count

The fineness of the thread, in standard textile units. Higher number = finer yarn = more refined drape. Our base cotton is 80s.

03

Weave structure

Plain, twill, satin, jacquard, dobby, knit. Each has different weight, drape, and durability. Knowing the weave tells you how the piece will move.

04

Composition by percentage

Exact fibre breakdown to the percent. Not “cotton blend” but “92% Egyptian cotton, 8% elastane.” Any synthetic content is disclosed, however small.

05

Finish

Mercerised, sanforised, mineral-washed, garment-dyed. Each finish changes how the fabric handles and ages. Most labels skip this.

06

Carbon footprint

An honest estimate of kg CO₂e per kg of finished fabric, based on mill data and the Higg Index. Target: under 8 for cellulose-based fibres, under 12 for synthetics.

Where to find it

Two places, one source of truth.

Every product page on this site has its Fabric Passport in the Composition tab. Every garment ships with a printed Passport on the inner care label.

If a piece doesn't have one, it's because we couldn't verify a data point — and we'd rather leave it blank than guess.
