Brand reports
What each brand puts on the market
A brand report lists the clothes one brand has on sale in one market in a given week, as the brand describes them: what each garment is made of, what it costs, where it was made and whether it claims recycled or organic content. The choices behind those clothes will show up in the brand's next annual report. Anyone who advises brands, a whole market or the public can follow those choices as they are made, and weigh in while they can still change.

Why Apparel Signals
See the shift before the annual report
Week to week, what brands list on their storefronts shows the decisions they make about materials: how much of it is synthetic, how many garments are blends that are hard to recycle, and how many disclose a country of origin.

How it is made
Three steps, run every week
Every number on this site starts as one product page on one brand storefront. Here is what we take from it, and what happens to it before it becomes a chart.

An illustration of the fields read from a product page. These five garments are drawn, not read, and no brand published them.
1Observe
Every listed product on 38 brand storefronts is recorded as it stands, on the same day each week, in every market a brand sells to. Not a sample and not a survey: the title, the price, the fibre split, the care and origin lines, exactly as the brand published them. Where a field is blank we record it as blank, because a missing origin is itself a finding.
2Standardise
Names, fibres and categories are mapped to one taxonomy, so a linen shirt counts the same whoever wrote the label.
3Compare
Weeks stack into a record, so a price move or a fabric shift can be read against the brand’s own past and against the market.
