Production

Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy focused on gradually improving productivity and creating a more efficient work environment. It supports change from any employee at any time, promoting continuous improvement and "change for the better."

1. Material: 
Natural cotton yarns are a crucial element in the production of high-quality jersey fabrics. Cotton is known for its softness, breathability, and durability, making it an excellent choice for garments worn close to the skin like t-shirts and sweatshirts. 

2. Fabric Weight:
Fabric weights, catering to different types of garments:

  • 120 gsm (grams per square meter): Lightweight fabric, typically used for soft, breathable t-shirts, ideal for warmer climates or as a base layer.

  • 185 gsm and 220 gsm: Medium-weight fabrics suitable for everyday t-shirts that balance durability with comfort.

  • 240 gsm, 350 gsm, 400 gsm, and 570 gsm loopbacks: These heavier fabrics are used for more substantial garments, like sweatshirts and hoodies. The loopback fabric (also known as French terry) is particularly valued for its soft, absorbent inner surface and smooth outer surface, making it a preferred choice for casual, comfortable clothing.

3. Knitting Techniques:
Traditional circular knitting machines, a nod to craftsmanship and heritage in fabric making. These machines have been integral to fabric production since the early 20th century, and their continued use suggests a commitment to time-honoured quality and technique. 

4. Expertise: 
Our machinists bring a lifetime of experience to the table, ensuring that each garment is produced with precision and care. This expertise is a significant asset, contributing to the superior quality of your products. Skilled machinists understand the intricacies of the machines they operate, allowing them to maintain consistent quality and troubleshoot any issues that arise during production.

5. Construction: 
The construction of our garments utilizes high-quality cotton threads and durable stitching methods, including:

  • Flat Lock: A type of seam used in sportswear and undergarments, where the seams lay flat against the skin, reducing irritation.

  • Overlock: Commonly known as serging, this method encloses the raw edges of the fabric, preventing fraying and increasing the garment's durability.

  • Single Stitch: Often found in vintage t-shirts, this method provides a clean and durable finish, adding to the garment's authenticity and appeal to vintage fashion enthusiasts.
