Turn a garment brief into measurable fabric criteria before sampling. Define the construction, fiber composition, finished GSM and tolerance, usable width and tolerance, color standard, surface, hand feel, finish, quantity by color, destination, and buyer acceptance checks.
Use the application guides below to separate fixed requirements from acceptable ranges, record who approves the sample and color, and keep direct knit manufacturing distinct from coordinated sourcing and development. Public product rows are reviewed references, not blanket factory capability or commercial terms.
Turn the garment brief into fabric criteria
Use the garment application to decide which fabric details must be agreed before sampling. These are briefing prompts, not promises that every listed family will meet a performance target.
Sportswear and activewear
Define the target construction, finished weight, stretch and recovery direction, breathability or moisture requirements, and finish. Start with single jersey, air layer knit, or mesh when those constructions match the brief. The sportswear fabric development guide lists the review fields.
T-shirts and base layers
Specify composition, GSM, usable width, hand feel, opacity, color direction, and the intended garment fit before comparing options. Use the T-shirt fabric manufacturing guide to turn the garment brief into measurable inputs.
Hoodies and casualwear
Clarify loopback or brushed surface, target weight, rib coordination, wash expectations, and the buyer-approved color or finish. French terry and polar fleece are direct knit development categories. The hoodie and sweatshirt guide covers body and trim coordination.
Uniforms and workwear
State the garment construction, appearance, care expectations, durability checks, quantity, and destination so sourcing can be compared on the same basis. The uniform and workwear sourcing guide separates buyer checks from open sourcing decisions.
Before sample review
- Separate fixed values from acceptable ranges and recommendations.
- Confirm the measurement point and tolerance for GSM and usable width.
- Send the body-fabric cutting when a rib trim must match color, hand feel, stretch, or dimensions.
- For any critical property, name the test method, condition, direction, and buyer acceptance limit.
Choose the service route
Seven knit categories are identified in the catalog as direct knit manufacturing: Single Jersey, Rib Knit, Air Layer Knit, Ponte Roma, French Terry, Milk Silk Knit, and Polar Fleece. The other catalog categories are presented as sourcing and coordinated development. A public product row is a reviewed reference and does not establish live stock, a factory-wide capability range, or project terms.
| Route | What to send |
|---|---|
| Direct knit manufacturing | Composition, construction, GSM, usable width, color, finish, garment use, quantity, and acceptance checks. |
| Coordinated sourcing and development | The same measurable brief plus reference material, destination, and any supplier or testing constraints. |
Browse the reviewed fabric catalog, then send the required specifications for route and sample review.
