Incoming Material Inspection
Every yarn and chemical lot is checked against specification for count, evenness, strength and origin documentation before it reaches the loom.
Quality Control
Defects are caught in the mill, not at your cutting table
Quality on a uniform programme is measured across seasons, not shipments. Our control system is designed so that the tenth repeat order matches the first.
Control Gates
Six checkpoints between yarn and container
In-Process Inspection
Loom-side monitoring, greige audits and dyehouse checkpoints catch deviation while it is still correctable.
Laboratory Testing
An in-house lab performs routine testing to ISO and AATCC methods, with third-party verification available on request.
Fabric Physical Testing
Tensile and tear strength, abrasion, pilling, seam slippage, dimensional stability and weight per square metre.
Colour Fastness Testing
Fastness to washing, rubbing, perspiration and light, with industrial-laundry cycles simulated for uniform programmes.
Final Inspection
100% 4-point inspection of finished rolls, shade banding and packing verification before container loading.
In-House Laboratory
Testing to ISO and AATCC methods
Routine testing is performed in our own laboratory on every bulk lot, and results are issued with the shipment. Third-party verification through SGS, Intertek or a buyer-nominated laboratory can be arranged on request.
