Jacket tech packs · $299 per style

Jacket tech pack, ready for your factory.

A jacket hides more parts than any other garment: shell, lining, interlining, insulation, zips, snaps and a collar that has to meet the front edges. We spec each layer and each closure on its own line.

Where it goes wrong

Where jackets fail: the parts you cannot see.

Jacket samples rarely fail on the drawing. They fail on a lining, a zip or a fusing that was written down badly or not at all.

Zip field jacket · FrontRisk points
12345

  1. Lining cut to the shell pattern

    The most common reason a jacket body twists. The lining is a garment inside a garment and needs slightly more room than the shell.

    In the spec lining pattern, fabric and finish as their own spec, cut fuller than the shell.

  2. A zip two centimeters short

    Length, gauge, brand and type are four separate decisions. A size XL with a size M zip is what happens when the zip is not graded.

    In the spec zip length per size, gauge, brand, coil or metal, one-way or two-way.

  3. A collar stand that flops

    A stand without fusing collapses after one wash. Collar, cuffs, plackets and welt pockets all need their interlining called out.

    In the spec interlining per part on its own BOM line, collar stand height with a tight tolerance.

  4. Pockets built the factory's way

    Patch, flap and welt pockets are different builds with different stress points. Placement drifts without a measured position.

    In the spec pocket type, size, position from HPS and CF, flap and closure, bar-tacks at stress corners.

  5. Cuffs and plackets that go soft

    The parts the eye lands on carry the tightest tolerance. Unfused cuffs and plackets lose their shape and read as defects.

    In the spec cuff construction and closure, interlining, cuff opening with tolerance.

Numbers match the balloons on the drawing. Source: our jacket tech pack guide.

Points of measure

Seven points, tight where the eye lands.

Tighter tolerances go on the collar, zip opening and cuff; looser ones on body length and chest. Every point gets a base size, a grade and a tolerance.

The zip length grades with the body length, and the graded zip length goes into the BOM for each size, not only the base.
  • Chest and hip often step 4 cm between whole sizes; shoulder and neck about 1 cm.
  • The sleeve grades on its own increment, because arm length and girth do not scale together.
  • A hooded jacket adds hood height and opening rows.

$299 per style, or $249 per style when you order 3 or more. From a sketch or an idea, development from concept is $499 per style. 3–5 working days per style, with 2–3 revision rounds included.

Match the gauge to the weight: a #3 chain for liners and inner pockets, a #5 for most jackets, a #8 for parkas and rugged shells. The BOM states the number, the element type and one-way or two-way operation.

With two numbers: fill power for loft and fill weight in grams. For synthetic insulation, the batting by GSM and the baffle style, sewn-through or box-wall.

Yes. A coat adds length, weight and closure detail: a fuller lining, interlining across larger panels and any storm flap or inner windguard. Care and content labels list shell and lining separately.

It depends on the point: around 0.3 to 0.5 cm on the collar stand, cuff and zip opening, where the eye lands, and up to 1.0 cm on body length and chest.
