Production and sourcing considerations
Custom stripe programs require yarn planning, colour approval and production minimums.

Questions to ask before approving this fabric
- Does the finished weight match the garment structure and season?
- What shrinkage is expected in length and width after the agreed wash test?
- Does the colourfastness meet the end-use and care requirements?
- Will printing, embroidery, washing or bonding change the surface?
- Is the available lot sufficient for production tolerance and replacements?
