Fair condition
Anchors 5 on the 1.0–10.0 scale
Fair condition (a 5 on the 1.0–10.0 scale) means noticeable wear or a documented flaw — such as a stain, hole, or fading — that affects the garment's appearance.
What graders look for
- A documented flaw: stain, small hole, snag, or pull
- Clear fading, pilling, or stretched areas
- Wear that affects appearance but not core wearability
- Flaws that should be photographed and disclosed
Examples
- A shirt with a small but visible stain near the hem.
- A sweater with a repaired snag and noticeable pilling.
