How each score was set

Usability 5.1 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Published materials and specs5.0/10: Black jersey lists 95/5 cotton-spandex, 190 gsm and 58/60-inch width, with care in the FAQ; no origin or certification mark.
Price transparency10.0/10: Flat $4.25 per half yard, $8.95 flat US shipping, an Oregon shipper and a yard total shown beside the quantity menu.
Return window2.0/10: Uncut jersey of 1 yard or more can go back within 14 days at the buyer's cost, less a 10% restocking fee.
Defect cover3.0/10: Damaged shipments must be reported within 7 days of receipt; no longer defect window is written.
What's included3.0/10: The listing names the fabric, width and blend but never says how long one quantity unit of this solid is.

What we found

Verified

Product page and Solid Essentials collection page both state 95/5, 190 gsm, 58/60" width.

The claim

Weight given as 9.5 oz/yard on the collection page

What we found

Fine print

Collection page pairs 190 gsm with '9.5 oz/yard'; that is per linear yard at full width, not per square yard (190 gsm is about 5.6 oz per square yard).
