Write the acceptance conditions before checking
A numerical tolerance only helps when the starting measurement, method and reference are defined. Do not mix a stretched opening width with an unstretched sample width or compare a folded hat with a full-height measurement.
Where your brief includes wash behaviour, recovery or another performance requirement, agree the test conditions and acceptance method. An attractive sample photograph does not prove those results.
