Editorial policy

Everything in the Journal is written by someone who works here and does the job they are writing about. We do not commission generic content and we do not publish sponsored posts.

Who writes

Every article carries a named author with a profile page setting out their role, background and remit. Authors write within their own area: our sourcing lead writes about fabric, our grading lead writes about fit.

Review

Every article is reviewed before publication by a second named colleague, who is credited on the article. The reviewer checks factual claims and measurements against our own testing records.

Sources

Where an article cites a standard, a test method or an external report, it links to the source. Where a figure comes from our own testing, the article says so.

Independence

No brand pays for coverage here, because we do not stock other brands. Our own products are discussed critically where criticism is due.
