5x expanded by Binksternet (talk). Self-nominated at 21:54, 11 October 2020 (UTC).
Article is newly 5x expanded and long enough. No neutrality concerns. Inline citations are used throughout the article and the sources used appear reliable. No copyvio hits on Earwig. The three hooks suggested are all referenced and interesting; personally I would probably go with the first. QPQ is complete and the images used in the article have correct licences and non-free use rationale where applicable. Nice work User:Binksternet, it's rare to see such a detailed article on a clothing brand and you've obviously done a fair bit of research. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 15:01, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
