(tech pack, sketch, or reference) to validate all details before mass production begins.
Sampling helps you:
- Confirm fit and size grading
- Check materials, insulation, and hand feel
- Approve construction, quilting, and details
- Reduce production risk and revisions in bulk
What Types of Samples Can You Order?

- First sample based on your design input
- Used for fit, construction, and concept validation
2️⃣ Revised / Fit Sample
- Adjusted based on your feedback
- Fine-tunes measurements, details, or materials
