Before You Buy
Should you buy it?
Pick a fabric, its weight, and honestly estimate how many times you'll wear it. The Dhaga Score tells you the rest.

Estimates use measured per-kilogram data for Hemp scaled to 300 g. Actual impact varies by mill, dye process and transport. Figures: Stockholm Environment Institute 2019, Textile Exchange 2023.
The 30-wear rule
Before buying, ask: "Will I wear this at least 30 times?" Wearing a garment twice as long halves its per-wear footprint — the single most effective thing you can do for fashion's impact. If this won't reach 30 wears, consider swapping or finding it second-hand instead.
