| Know before using | Listings can be owner-submitted or team-added, and affiliate or marketplace relationships are commercial influences; verify current stock, price, opening, delivery, returns, and service quality directly. | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. |

| What the source establishes | The public directory exposes location and shop-type discovery, while the platform states that business listings have no monthly fee and revenue comes from affiliate partnerships and marketplace commissions. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. |
