“Factory-direct bras that simply did not pass inspection due to "a missed stitch, a loose thread or a bit of factory dirt." Some additional info from the apparel industry: "Slightly-irregulars are not necessarily faulty or even of lessened quality, but rather a piece of merchandise with a minor problem (typically cosmetic) that prevent it from passing the quality checks in the inspection process." Or..."A new, unused, and unworn item. Possible cosmetic imperfections range from natural color variations to scuffs, snags, nicks, hanging threads or a crooked bow. The item may be missing the original packaging materials.”
