Garment Analysis

Forensic garment analysis uses clothing and textile examinations to aid criminal investigations and historic case review. Detailed examination and recording of clothing manufacture can be integrated into an investigation and may involve establishing the date and provenance of clothing, non-clothing fabric types, fabric logos, and trademarks.

These analyses can help to provide evidence regarding identification, provenance and dating when garments, textiles, footwear, and fashion accessories are found in association with human remains. This can help to ascertain a timeframe of deposition and can act as an aid for post-mortem identification.
