A material's performance may depend on more than the named fibre. Processing and treatments belong in the review when they influence the proposed application.
Coats' thread-selection guidance discusses multiple material and application factors affecting sewing performance. Coats — Selecting Your Sewing Threads.
Ask what the description covers
For a textile proposal, identify relevant construction and treatment information alongside fibre content. Do not assume that two fabrics with the same composition have identical surface or process behaviour.
Preserve the evaluated state
Keep the supplied material identity and any relevant treatment condition with the sample. If a finish changes, assess which requirements need further evidence. The objective is a reproducible material choice, not a broad fibre label expected to explain every outcome.
