Stacks
A condition is not a garment. It is a set of rungs that have to be closed, in order, and the useful question is which of them this catalog can close and which of them it cannot. Six conditions are laid out below against the five layer slots this site carries.
The whole matrix
Conditions down the side, layer slots across the top. The last row is the rung that stays open in every column, because nothing in this catalog fills it.
