Capabilities / Manufacturing & Finishing

From fabric preparation to finished garment.

Garment production follows a sequence of stages, each with its own checks. Woven and knitted garments are made differently, and the finishing details you specify shape how each style arrives.

01Production sequence

Eight stages of production.

  1. 01

    Fabric and trim preparation

    Fabric and trims are checked against the approved references before cutting.

  2. 02

    Cutting

    Fabric is laid and cut to the graded pattern, with attention to grain, shading, and print direction.

  3. 03

    Sewing and assembly

    Panels are joined using the seam types and stitch settings agreed on the sample.

  4. 04

    Printing or embroidery

    Applied to panels or finished garments where the design requires it.

  5. 05

    Finishing and pressing

    Threads are trimmed and garments pressed to the agreed appearance.

  6. 06

    Inspection

    Garments are checked for measurements, workmanship, and appearance.

  7. 07

    Labelling and packing

    Labels, tags, and packaging are applied to your instructions.

  8. 08

    Dispatch preparation

    Cartons are marked and packing lists prepared for shipment.

02Construction

Woven and knitted, made differently.

Woven garment construction

Woven garments are built from shaped panels joined at the shoulders, yoke, and sides. Collars and cuffs are usually interlined, plackets are folded or applied, and seams are often topstitched or felled. Hems are turned and stitched.

Knitted garment construction

Knitted fabric is relaxed before cutting so it keeps its dimensions. Seams need to stretch with the fabric, and necklines, cuffs, and hems are often finished with rib components. Shoulder seams may be taped to hold their shape.
