For seamless wear production, unique rules exist to inform our buyer as seamless production

5. SEAMLESS PRODUCTION – KEY PRODUCTION KNOWLEDGE (2)

SMALLER BODY SPEC THAN CUT & SEW GARMENT
Seamless wear has high tension and stretch, since its circular
knit condition keeps no seam from fabric condition.
6
WIDTH TOLERANCE (FLAT) AT ½”
Is needed, since chest size mostly results from machine size
(ex. Chest 13” from 13” knitting machine, except hole styles)
7
TOLERANCE IN WIDE RANGE
We apply these
key seamless
production knowledge
& know- how for
successful production
Is in need due to 1) cutting in “Pieces”, 2) garment w/ cutting
line affected by bulk dyeing, and 3) absolutely comfy fitting.

SAMPLE DYEING IN ANY COLORS UNTIL PP STAGE

saturate the dyestuff in good condition.

BUSINESS AREA ❸ SEAMLESS – OUTWEAR
Most effective seamless product that maximizes at ease
the result of ‘jacquard and construction variations’
The strength of seamless technology could be named ‘unlimited
designs of jacquard patterns and construction’ that are
programmed before knitting and immediately applied to seamless
fabrics that no additional artwork are not needed after knitting.
Visualization of those variations on the seamless fabrics would be
more exquisitely displayed. Thus, it makes our outwear product look
more luxurious upon programmed fine texture.
We are further than welcomed if you suggest the artwork.
