Danish term or phrase: kvalitet
En liste over en konkurrents stærke sider indeholder følgende punkt:

2) Stærke på forarbejdning og valg af kvaliteter (råvarer)

Det foresvæver mig at man i tekstil/beklædningsbranchen har brugt ordet kvalitet synonymt med stof. Jeg kan næsten høre Hr. Swan sige "Denne lyslilla Kvalitet med indvævet Sølvtråd vil tage sig smukt ud som en Kjole til Afdansningsballet, Fru Violet" hvor en ikke-fagmand ville tale om "lyslilla stof med sølvtråd".

Er der en som kan hjælpe mig med at fortolke "kvalitet" i ovenstående kontekst. skal det oversættes med qualities eller fabrics/materials ?

agree  Pernille Chapman: Materials - som du selv er inde på, Flemming, bruger fagfolk denne betegnelse om det, vi andre i daglig tale kalder "stof". Dejligt eksempel, i øvrigt :-)
