"Gold-standard trial" sounds about as good as Genuine Leather does for leather. (Genuine leather is the cheapest leather, for those that don't know).

If you had a science background, the term "Gold-standard trial" would have meaning to you as a term for randomized double-blind studies with a large sample size. I don't know what textiles have to do with it.
