Garment Measurement Shrinkage Assessment.

Garment  Apparel


Principle: The standard for Fabric Shrinkage is 3 home washes for testing lab. The standard for patterns is RINSE ‘D’ or HEAVY ‘H’ finish.
To capture the variances in shrinkage of developmental finishes Product Development identifies the reference fabric to be used for each new development for the 1st and/maybe 2nd fit session.
1st and 2nd fit session: to be done with reference fabric and heavy or rinse finish.
If developmental yardage is available in time to create patterns for the 1st fit session, this yardage will be used.
If available 2nd fit developments will be made in development yardage with heavy or rinse finish.
At 3rd fit session, development yardage and Heavy or Rinse finish is used.
At 3rd fit session stage, for high stretch, samples will be made using development yardage to validate the fit.
 garment measurements will be performed before wash, before press, after press and after 24hrs.
The pattern maker checks patterns and adapt if needed (stretch fabric/pattern behavior).
For the launch of Development Samples on 10% and 15% shrinkage, the Product Department will share measurements of garment with contractors.

Manufacturing  Garment  Development Samples:


The supplier provides before-wash and after wash measurements to the (garment) Product Development Department
In the case of stretch fabrics the required measurements are:
· Before wash
· Before press
· After press
· After 24hrs when required by Fit department.(garment)
In case of high shrinkage stretch fabric, the Product Development Department has created 2 extra grade rule tables to capture the variances which can be expected in stretch fabrics from 8% to 15%. Each product will then have a grading chart, shrinkage chart and measurement chart.
In total, there will be 4 new grade rule tables; 10% and 15% for both tops and bottoms.

To ensure the complete information is available, the Product Development Department will also create a shrinkage chart for the tops, only for high shrinkage stretch at 10% and 15% as well as for the bottoms.
