You are to compare and evaluate 4 garments: 1 t-shirt, 1 tank top, 1 camisole, 1 polo shirt.
Each should have similar properties as well as differing elements.
These garments must be from different labels and come from a wide variety, ranging from what you consider the highest to lowest quality. They must be in the knit fabrics assigned.

Ultimately you will present an educated comparison of the quality, value, and durability of these garments. (You might, in the future, have to purchase, justify, and merchandise such goods for the company employing you).
Instructions

- Identify the manufacturer.
