Editorial Standards

These are the standards voyjoy.net is written to. They exist so that a sentence on this site can be held against something.

Where the figures come from

Fibre content, inseams, size runs, colourways and prices come from our own product data, and a page prints them out of that data rather than out of a paragraph somebody typed. Where a piece gives no inseam or no fibre content, the line is left blank rather than guessed. A measurement we do not have is not invented.

What a card may claim here

A card describes a garment: how it is knitted, where the seams are and are not, how high the waistband sits, how long the leg is, whether the cups come out. Those are facts about a piece and we will print them. Words like sculpt, lift and compression describe what the knit does to the cloth, not to a body, and no page on this site turns them into a claim about yours, however many of those sentences are available to copy.

Claims about labels and safety

Anything here that touches fibre labelling, care instructions or the flammability rules clothing is sold under is written under a named public source, listed on the page that makes the claim, with the date it was read. A fabric is called certified, tested or graded only where the label sewn into the garment says so, and that label is the document that governs washing.

Photographs

Every piece is shown in the colourway being sold. A photograph with a size chart, a slogan or a performance claim printed into the image is kept off the page, and a picture that contradicts the text beside it comes off rather than getting a caption to explain it away.

Comments from buyers

Quotes on the front page are real, public and attributed to a verified buyer rather than to a name and a town. They are shortened for length and never reworded; a complaint stays a complaint. A quote that makes a claim we would not make ourselves is not used, however good it sounds.

What gets pulled

A piece that sells out leaves the site at the next build. A figure that turns out to be wrong is corrected on the page and the correction is noted on how we update the catalogue. Write to stride@voyjoy.net with the page and the figure.
