Fit comments

Your fit sample is back. We write the corrections.

Send photos of the sample on a body or a form and the measurements you took. We compare them with the spec and write a fit comment sheet the factory can act on, with revised points of measure for the next sample.

How fit comments are written

Measured on the sample, written for the factory.

We measure the fit sample against the spec, note what changes and why, and send revised points of measure.

Fit comment sheet

What was wrong, what changes next.

Drag the handle. On the left, sample 1 as measured against the spec; on the right, the revised spec the factory works from for sample 2. The sheet below says the same in words the sample room can act on.

What you get

Four parts, one next sample.

A fit comment sheet the factory can work through without a call: numbers, pictures, the new spec and a short list of changes.

    What the factory must change, in the order a sample room works, and what stays exactly as it is.

The team behind every pack

Real people draw every tech pack.

Our studio team in the USA drafts every flat, measurement and note, and answers your revision rounds by email. No template generator, no guesswork.

  1. Team at a table reviewing printed sportswear flats and color swatches, with the designs on a screen behind Reading a brief with flats and swatches
    01

    We read your brief

    Sketch, reference photo or sample: someone on our team reads it and replies within 24 hours with the tier, the price and the timeline.

  2. Tech pack page with front, side and back technical flats of a raglan active t-shirt Example page

    We draw the flats

    A technical designer draws every view to proportion, with numbered callouts for each seam, stitch and trim.

  3. Vest tech pack page with front and back flats, a graded measurement table and a bill of materials Example page

    We grade and spec

    Measurements graded across your sizes with a tolerance on every line, plus the bill of materials and construction notes.

    A second person checks every measurement

    Before delivery, someone who did not draw the pack checks every point of measure against the flats. Then 2–3 revision rounds by email.

Example pages are shown with the brand removed. Photos show the kind of studio work behind each step.

What to send

Photos and numbers, no parcel needed.

We work from your photos and measurements, so the sample stays with you. If a photo does not show what we need, we ask for another angle before writing a comment.

Send us

  • Fit photosFront, side and back on a body or a form, in the base size, plus close-ups of problem areas.
  • Your measurementsTaken flat on the sample. No how-to-measure sheet? We send one first.
  • The specYour tech pack or measurement spec, whoever made it.
  • Fit notesWhat the person who tried it on felt: tight, long, pulling, twisting.

Right service?

  • Yes, if a sample came back and you are not sure what to tell the factory.
  • Yes, if the factory asked for “fit comments” and you have none.
  • No, if you need the pattern itself corrected: your factory or pattern maker makes that change from our comments.
  • No spec yet? Start with a tech pack review or the full tech pack.

What it costs

$89 per style

Per fit round. Scope and timeline confirmed by email before any work starts.

The first garment a factory sews from your spec, made so you can check the fit before anything else is approved. It is tried on a body or a form, measured and compared with the spec.

The document you send back after a fit sample: each point of measure with the spec, what the sample measured and the difference, plus written comments and the revised measurements for the next sample.

No. Photos on a body or a form and your measurements are enough to write the comments. If a photo does not show what we need, we ask for another angle first.

No. We write the corrections and the revised measurements. The pattern change itself is made by your factory or your pattern maker.

Yes. We work from whatever spec the factory used. If the spec is missing points we need, we say so and suggest a tech pack review.

$89 per style for each fit round. We confirm the scope and timeline by email before any work starts.
