Knitwear
& T-Shirts

Single jersey, pique and fleece, from knitting through to a finished, printed and packed garment — where GSM, shrinkage and colour fastness decide whether a repeat order happens.

Acceptance criteria

What we fix before bulk

These goods are bought to a drawing, a grade and a tolerance. That only works if the drawing is controlled, the features that actually matter are named, and the supplier can measure them repeatably.

GSM and constructionFinished GSM after wash, with the knit construction named.
YarnCount, combed or carded, and the cotton origin where traceability matters.
ShrinkageMeasured after the specified wash cycle, not off the roll.
Colour fastnessTo washing, rubbing, light and perspiration, with grades required.
Measurement chartGraded spec with tolerance per point of measure.
Print durabilityCrock and wash testing on the actual print, on the actual fabric.
Needle policyNeedle control and metal detection on every finished garment.

Every criterion above appears in the inspection report as a pass or a fail, with the measured value beside it and the gauge named. A first article is signed off before any bulk is produced.

Risk & compliance

What we screen before a sample is quoted

Cotton origin and forced labour

US import rules make cotton traceability a customs risk. Origin documentation is requested at the outset, not after a shipment is detained.

Fabric substitution

A lighter GSM that feels similar and costs less. Verified on the delivered fabric, because it is the single most common way this category degrades.

Shrinkage after shipping

Garments that meet spec at the factory and move in a container. Tested after the specified wash on production fabric.

Subcontracted stitching

Overflow sent to unaudited units at peak. Disclosure of every stitching location is a condition of engagement.
