Manufacturing
Knitting a garment body in one piece, removing side seams for comfort against the skin.
Seamless construction knits the body of a garment as a tube, so there are no side seams to rub. It suits base layers, activewear and shapewear where comfort against the skin is the point of the product.
It is a different manufacturing route rather than a variation on cut and sew. Machine capability sets what shapes and zone structures are possible, and minimum quantities are usually higher.
Scope confirmed on technical review
Process
Each stage exists to resolve one question. Skipping a stage moves risk further down the line rather than removing it.
The design is assessed against seamless machine capability.
The knitting programme, including zone structures, is developed.
Trial pieces are produced and assessed for fit and compression.
Bulk is knitted, then finished, dyed and trimmed as required.
Suitability
Where this capability is the right choice, and the materials it is compatible with.
Limits
Stated plainly, because a capability described without its constraints will be misapplied to a product it does not suit.
Materials
Composition, weight guidance and decoration behaviour for each fabric are on its own page.
Questions
Minimum order quantity depends on material availability, colour count, construction, decoration and packaging. Projects can begin from approximately 50 pieces per style following technical review. Where a fabric has to be knitted or dyed specifically for a project, the practical minimum is set by the mill rather than by us, and we tell you that before you commit.
Sampling normally runs in stages: a proto sample to confirm construction, a fit sample against your measurement chart, and a pre production sample that fixes fabric, colour, decoration, labelling and packaging. Each stage needs written approval before the next one starts. Sample charges and courier costs are quoted before work begins.
Tell us the product, the fabric and the quantity. We will confirm whether this is the right process and what it means for your minimum quantity and schedule.
