building.
The stations a garment passes through, in the order it passes through them.
Photographs of the floor and of finished production are available on request, and we are happy to do a live video walkthrough with a serious buyer. Ask for either with your enquiry.

Why the order matters.
A garment is not assembled in one place. It moves, and most of what decides whether it comes out right is decided before a single seam is sewn.
Artwork and patterning come first because everything downstream inherits them. A panel map drawn wrong is a mistake that gets multiplied by the size of your order. Printing happens on flat panels, before cutting, which is why a sublimated design can run edge to edge and across a seam rather than sitting in a rectangle on the chest.
Cutting turns a marker into bundles, and bundles are what the stitching lines actually work from. Flatlock, overlock, coverstitch and bar tack sit beside each other so a piece does not queue between buildings for a single operation. Embroidery is separate again, because a crest goes on a panel or a finished piece depending on what it is.
Inspection is not a station at the end. It happens at each of these points, against the sample you approved rather than a generic standard, and the measured audit and defect photographs go to you before the carton is sealed.
