How we work

ODM Seasonal Collections

You select from the catalogue and adapt it, rather than developing a body from zero.

The sequence

Five Stages in Order

Shortlist bodies from the Spring/Summer or Autumn/Winter sections

Ask which yarn qualities each body can be knitted in

Agree colourways and confirm the colour card

Approve a counter sample per body, not per range

Place bulk with the approved sample as the reference

What to fix in writing

The Points Worth Documenting

Fibre content, stated as a specification rather than a description.
Measurement chart before and after washing, with the accepted tolerance.
Whether the minimum quantity is per style, per colour or per size run.
The inspection standard, the inspection point and who attends.
Packing, labelling and carton marking, agreed before the first carton is packed.

None of these five are published in the source catalogue. That is normal for a knitwear catalogue, and it is exactly why they belong in the first email rather than the last one.

Other stages

The Rest of the Process

OEM Knitwear Development — You bring the tech pack and the yarn specification; the factory knits to it.
Sampling and Fit Approval — The stage where most knitwear orders are won or lost.
Bulk Production and Export — What has to be agreed before the first carton is packed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this stage take?

Lead times are not published in the source catalogue. Ask for the sampling lead time and the yarn lead time separately, because the second one usually sits outside the factory.

What do I need to send to start?

For development: a tech pack, a measurement chart with every point defined, the intended fibre content and the care label you plan to print. For catalogue selection: the item numbers and the quantity.

Who confirms the specification?

Put it in writing on both sides. A sealed counter sample plus a written tolerance is what makes a later inspection meaningful.

Is there a charge for samples?

Sample cost and sample lead time are not published. Ask for both in the same message as the quotation request.
