We check the product as it progresses, not after it is completed.

We assess initial products, product-specific operations, measurements and appearance during production so potential differences can be addressed early.

The inspection scope is defined around the garment construction and order criteria.

Assessment route

A clear review process to follow when a discrepancy is found.

  1. 01

    Identifying the difference

    Any variance in measurements, appearance or workmanship is clearly identified.

  2. 02

    Evaluate the source

    The relevant material, process, product category and subsequent steps that may be affected are examined.

  3. 03

    Transfer to production team

    The expected result is restated clearly for the relevant operation.

  4. 04

    Verify next products

before you decide

In-process inspections — clear answers.

01Which processes are controlled during production?

Depending on the garment, the first pieces, measurements, collar, cuffs, pockets, front fastening, buttons and visible stitching can all be assessed.

02Why is first-garment inspection important?

Helps verify early that production aligns with the approved sample and product information.

03How are intermediate measurements determined?

The measurement checks are planned around the garment construction, production stage, size chart and order requirements.

04If a difference is found, will production stop?

The decision depends on the type of variance and the operations and products affected; we do not assume the same outcome in every case.

05In what cases is the customer informed?

We share any issue that may affect the order criteria, approval or target schedule with the buying team.

06How is the approved sample used during production?

Used with measurements and product information as a shared reference for appearance and workmanship requirements.
