"All wool and a yard wide" = toàn len thật và rộng đúng một mét -> nghĩa là đáng tin cậy, rất tốt. 

Ví dụ
Nancy was an amazing gal, all wool and a yard wide. She was the first woman to be invited to join the Resort Committee of the American Hotel and Lodging Association, then became their first woman chairman (chủ tịch).

Longtime friend Janice Arnold — who distributed little red hearts made of wool with an “A” stitched (khâu) into them for Anne — recalled that her mother described Buck as “all wool and a yard wide,” which was the ultimate praise (lời khen ngợi).

My mom would have complimented them by saying that they are both cut from a finely-spun cloth, “all wool and a yard wide.”
