Product Development

Product Development is responsible for clothing and apparel sample making such as prototypes, duplicates, and pilot lots. Our clothing and apparel sample makers work closely with our pattern maker to create the garment samples you require. We can generate samples from a conceptual idea or from your existing specifications or hard copy pattern.

Having a department that can provide various clothing and apparel samples is invaluable when it comes to breaking down and pricing new garments. Different seam allowances and shrinkage are taken into account to accommodate for different fabrics and washes. These clothing and apparel samples provide subjective and objective fit information to technical design. Weekly fit meetings are conducted to evaluate against the specs needed by the sewing room in order to adhere to customer guidelines.

Running new items through the clothing and apparel sample making department provides the sewing room valuable insights on how to better handle a new fabric or design. Product development also provides our Clients with independent ideas that may enhance their marketing strategy.
