riidekõlblik

Riidekõlblik is an Estonian term that translates to "suitable for clothing" or "wearable." It refers to the condition of fabric or garments, indicating whether they are in a state that allows them to be worn or used for making clothes. This assessment considers factors such as the material's integrity, cleanliness, and any damage it may have sustained.

When fabric is deemed riidekõlblik, it means it is free from significant tears, holes, stains that cannot be removed, or other forms of wear and tear that would render it unfashionable or uncomfortable. It suggests that the material retains its original structure and aesthetic qualities to a degree that makes it suitable for its intended purpose.

The concept of riidekõlblik is often relevant in contexts such as second-hand clothing, textile recycling, or when evaluating old garments for potential reuse or alteration. Items that are no longer riidekõlblik might be considered waste or designated for other purposes, such as cleaning cloths or for industrial recycling. The term emphasizes the practical utility and presentability of a textile for wear.
