.clothingstrong parallel
delegated 2013 · live

Same bet exactly: an open generic product-category noun for the apparel trade, sold to any maker, wholesaler or retailer wanting a category-descriptive identity rather than a brand of their own.

uncontested · scored 50* in 2012 · run by Steel Lake, LLC

.fashionmoderate
delegated 2014 · live

Also an unowned industry-category noun aimed at the same apparel buyer pool, but it sells aspiration and lifestyle identity where .garment sells the trade/manufacturing side of the same business.

4 applicants contested it · scored 65* in 2012 · run by Top Level Domain Holdings Limited

.shoesmoderate
delegated 2013 · live

Same structural bet — a plain product noun that a whole apparel sub-industry could put its primary identity on — differing only in that it names a finished consumer product with obvious retail pull, while .garment names the input a supply chain deals in.

uncontested · scored 50* in 2012 · run by Binky Galley, LLC

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
