Know before usingAn orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority.It is a translation and orientation layer, not legal advice, certification approval, a purchased standard, or proof that a supplier, sample, or lot conforms.A unit reference; the correct allowance depends on material, seam type, and production method.

Source and review
What the source establishesThe guide cites current ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it explicitly separates those authorities from product-specific technical and market decisions.Each entry includes plain-language aliases, a working definition, a decision boundary, a checked source, and an internal next step; a repository audit enforces completeness and review dates.The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface.
