Photo Inspection
Check if the product photos show the item from multiple angles. Look for close-ups of seams, stitching, and hardware. If the photos are only stock images or screenshots from other sites, request more detail before ordering.
- Multiple angles shown (front, back, side, detail)
- Close-up of stitching and seams
- Hardware details (zippers, buttons, eyelets)
- True color representation, not just filtered photos
- Fit photos on a model or mannequin
Description Check
Read the full description. Look for material composition, weight, and care instructions. Generic descriptions like high quality material are red flags. Specific descriptions like 400gsm cotton fleece or YKK zipper are better signs.
Sizing Verification
Cross-reference the size chart with your own measurements. Do not rely on size labels alone. Check if the chart includes garment measurements or body measurements. Garment measurements are more useful for determining fit.
Review Analysis
Read reviews that mention specific details. Look for comments about fit accuracy, material quality, and color accuracy. Ignore reviews that are just one-word ratings or generic praise. Detailed reviews are the most reliable indicator.
