Filo

Quality advice for the clothes you actually want to wear.

70 + Life + Breathes − Pills − Wear = Score

Every score starts at 70, the cotton benchmark used in European durability rules.

Life

Fibres people keep and wear longer score higher.

Breathes

Fabric that takes up moisture feels cooler on skin.

Pills

Strong synthetics hold onto pills, so they look worn sooner.

Wear

Some fibres wear through faster than cotton.
