SAMPLING AND APPROVAL

How do we review a knitwear sample remotely and in person?

Use photos and measurements to review visible details and dimensions. Review the physical sample for hand feel, colour, weight and fit.

Overview

Use photos, video and measurements to review construction or a sample still at the factory. Handle and try on the garment to assess colour, feel, weight, recovery and fit.

CHOOSE THE REVIEW PATH

Choose how to review the sample.

Review in person

Review the physical sample

Use the garment itself when the decision depends on touch, true colour, weight, recovery, drape, construction in the hand, or on-body fit.

  • Handle the material and finish
  • Compare colour under agreed light
  • Check weight, recovery and balance
  • Review fit on the body
Review from a distance

Start with photos and measurements

Use photos, video and measurements to discuss visible details while the sample is at the factory.

  • Identify the exact sample version
  • Review full views and named details
  • Check measured dimensions
  • List the details to check in person

For feel, weight, stretch, colour and fit, handle and try on the physical garment.
