A quality approach spanning pre-production verification, in-line checks and final product inspection before dispatch.

01

Quality is not sought only at the end of production

A variance found at final inspection is not always easy to correct. Quality checks should therefore run throughout production, beginning with product-information and material verification.

02

Finalize shared reference before production

The approved sample, size chart, tech pack, fabric and trim decisions form the basis of the inspection plan.

  • Compatibility of product and measurement information
  • Fabric and trim verification
  • Approved sample registration
  • Critical appearance and workmanship points

03

Catch differences early during production

In-process measurement, stitching and appearance checks help us address recurring variances before they affect more garments.

04

Compare the finished garment with the order specification

Final inspection must compare not only the shirt's appearance but also its measurements, labels, packaging and dispatch preparation with the order criteria.

05

Define critical inspection points for the product

The same checklist may not be sufficient for every shirt. Product details such as pattern matching, collar symmetry, double cuffs, dedicated pockets or visible stitching should be included in critical checkpoints.

The inspection plan must align with the approved sample and technical information, and acceptance criteria must not be open to interpretation.

  • Dimension and tolerance
  • Stitching and appearance
  • Collar, cuffs and trims
  • Labelling, folding and packaging
06

Manage the cause of the finding, not just the result

If a variance recurs, isolating the defective piece is not enough. We identify the operation in which it arose and apply corrective action to prevent it carrying over to further garments.

Inspection records show which standard the buyer and manufacturer followed and help maintain the same reference for repeat orders.
