Development

How your bottoms program starts.

The first five stages decide most of the cost. After approval, production is execution against a document you have already signed.

  1. 01

    Brief / Tech Pack

    We review the specification, reference garment or sketch and come back with the questions that would otherwise surface as a failed first sample.

  2. 02

    Fabric & Trim Review

    Materials are matched to the requirement and presented with the commercial consequence of each option attached.

  3. 03

    Commercial Costing

    FOB costing is built against the confirmed construction, materials, decoration, packing and quantity.

  4. 04

    Sample Development

    Proto and fit samples are produced against the specification, with a written comment sheet at every round.

  5. 05

    Fit / Approval

    Fit, measurements, colour and decoration are approved and locked as the reference for bulk.

Buyer questions

Questions we get asked.

Pocket construction, reinforcement and closure hardware, not the shell fabric alone. A trouser with cargo pockets, bar tacks, a gusset and branded hardware carries considerably more labour than a plain uniform pant in the same cloth.

At the crotch seam, the pocket mouth and the knee. Reinforcement at those three points. A gusset, bar tacks and a double layer or heavier fabric at the knee. Extends service life more than raising the fabric weight everywhere.

Yes, using a mechanical stretch weave or an elastane blend. Elastane improves movement but affects laundering behaviour and shrinkage, so it should be confirmed against the program's wash process at development.

Yes. Fixed, fully elasticated and part-elasticated waistbands are all workable. Part-elasticated is common in uniform programs because it widens the fit range and reduces the number of sizes a site has to hold.

Yes, and it is usually more efficient. They share the front and back blocks and the same fabric, so one development cycle covers both and keeps the pair consistent.
