Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it
Buck Mason makes a bold risk reversal look casual: "Shipping On Us Over $150 & 365-Day Returns". Beyond that, the pages are almost silent: the H1 is "Shop New Arrivals", there are no reviews on either page and no stated reason the clothes are better.
