A guide to better questions
Use this planning guide to connect material, surface and hardware preferences with your garments and setting. Available options need confirmation for each product and project.
The garment comes first
Record garment width, weight, straps and the contact surfaces that need attention. A material preference is only useful when the proposed shape also fits the garment.
Surface character
Bring a small, focused set of color and texture references. Identify whether a reference describes appearance or an exact physical standard, and confirm the proposed finish with a sample.
Hardware and details
Hook appearance, clearance, logo position and any bar or clip arrangement belong in the same specification. Confirm the compatibility of the proposed parts rather than assessing each in isolation.
Evidence and approval
Name the required material information, tests or supporting documents. Do not infer a material grade, origin or certification from a photograph or a generic description.
Keep the sample review practical
Check dimensions, shoulder shape, fabric contact, visible finish and hardware against the brief. Record observations and requested changes before approving the final sample.
Include garment measurements, a color reference, the wardrobe or rail setting and a short list of what matters most.
Use the sample checklistA considered beginning
A clear brief is the first step toward a product that feels like your brand.
