    The garments failed to meet the express contractual requirement to be of first quality and to conform to the approved lab-dip colour standards; the plaintiff validly reserved rights by contractual clause and qualified inspection certificates and therefore did not accept the goods; plaintiff is entitled to recover proven purchase price and consequential losses (duties and proven freight) but not speculative quota costs where the amount and apportionment between permanent and temporary quotas could not be established on the evidence.
