Workers' rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands' policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Unfortunately, Good American does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

• It appears to use leather and wool.
• It doesn't appear to use exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
