Fix Your Fit ✷

You know what you want your jeans to look like, but you don’t know how to get the factory to make them.

There’s the tech pack, which you know you’re supposed to have, but you're not entirely sure what needs to go in it, or how a list of measurements is supposed to turn into the jeans you have in your head.

Then the sample arrives.

The waist is gaping. There’s too much fabric under the bum. The rise feels weird. Something about the leg shape just isn’t sitting right.

You know the fit is off, but you don’t know why, which makes telling the factory what to change pretty difficult.

Maybe you’ve already made it through production and everything seemed mostly fine. But now the returns are coming in. Your larger sizes aren’t fitting like your smaller ones. One wash fits differently to another. Customers keep mentioning the same fit problem, and you’re starting to wonder whether there’s something bigger going on with your block, grading or specs.

Every new denim sample costs you more time and money. You don’t want to keep adding 1cm here, taking 1cm off there and hoping eventually you’ll land on the right pair of jeans.

You want to understand what’s actually causing the problem, know exactly what needs to change and get to a pair of jeans that fits the way you intended.

Approaching a denim manufacturer with a tech pack that makes sense, that you actually understand and that clearly communicates the jeans you’re trying to make, from the measurements and construction to the wash and finishing.

Getting a sample back and knowing what you’re looking at. Knowing why the waist is gaping, why the rise isn’t sitting right or why the leg shape feels off. And knowing exactly what to ask the factory to change.

Going into production knowing the fit has been properly considered across your size range, your grading makes sense and your jeans fit the way you intended them to.

Your customers get jeans they want to keep, wear on repeat and come back for, rather than return.

Imagine feeling confident about what you’re sending to the factory.
