From yarn selection to the final stitch — we craft premium Oxford shirts, dress shirts, blazers and dresses for global brands, with precision tailoring, 7–8 day sampling and end-to-end quality control.
Seven core sub-categories, developed from your tech pack or reference sample — fabric sourcing, pattern making, sampling and bulk production in audited partner factories.
Shirting110–140 GSM
Basket-weave cotton Oxfords with button-down or classic collars — consistent collar shape and controlled shrinkage across production lots.
Shirting80–120 GSM
Fine-count poplin and twill dress shirts with precise collar stands, clean plackets and easy-care finishing for corporate programs.
Shirting120–180 GSM
Relaxed linen, flannel and chambray shirts with garment-dye and soft-wash programs for lifestyle and resort collections.
Tailoring180–260 GSM
Half- and full-canvas construction with structured shoulders, functional cuffs and pressed-in lapels, graded across size sets.
Outerwear200–320 GSM
Bomber, coach, field and shacket styles in cotton twill, canvas and corduroy — with rib trims, lining options and wash development.
Tailoring180–240 GSM
Flat-front and pleated office trousers in cotton twill and poly-viscose with clean waistbands and consistent rise grading.
Womenswear90–130 GSM
Shirt dresses, wrap styles and tiered silhouettes in voile, poplin and viscose with controlled drape, shrinkage and print registration.
Need a style that is not listed? We develop custom woven programs from your tech pack, sketch or reference garment — including fabric development and trim sourcing.
Start a Custom ProgramA practical reference for sourcing teams: how woven cloth is structured, which weave and weight to specify, and the checkpoints that prevent costly rework before bulk production begins.
Woven fabric is produced on a loom by interlacing two distinct yarn sets — the warp (lengthwise) and the weft (crosswise) — at right angles. The result is a stable, dimensionally controlled cloth with little inherent stretch, which is why woven is the default for shirts, trousers, tailoring and structured dresses.
Knit fabric is formed by interlooping a single yarn system, giving inherent stretch and a softer hand — the basis of t-shirts, polos and hoodies. A woven garment can still achieve comfort stretch through elastane content or mechanical-stretch weaves, but its baseline behaviour is stability, not elasticity.
The interlacing pattern determines hand-feel, drape, durability and appearance. Select a structure below to see how warp and weft interlace, and where each is typically used.
GSM (grams per square metre) is the fastest way to communicate fabric weight to a mill. Use the ranges below as a starting point, then confirm with a physical swatch — hand-feel cannot be judged from a number alone.
| Weight range | Typical woven fabrics | Common garment use |
|---|---|---|
| 80–110 GSM | Voile, lightweight poplin | Summer shirts, dresses, linings |
| 110–140 GSM | Oxford, standard poplin | Year-round shirting |
| 140–180 GSM | Flannel, chambray, light twill | Casual shirts, overshirts |
| 180–240 GSM | Chino twill, gabardine | Trousers, skirts, light jackets |
| 240–320 GSM | Canvas, corduroy, heavy drill | Jackets, workwear, outerwear |
Confirm residual shrinkage before bulk fabric is committed. For woven shirting and trousers we target ≤3% dimensional change after three home launderings; stricter programs specify ≤2%. Request the test report, not a verbal assurance.
Standard verification for international programs includes ISO 105 colourfastness (washing, rubbing and light), ISO 6330 dimensional stability, pilling and abrasion where relevant, and restricted-substance screening for EU and US markets.
Common woven finishes: enzyme wash, garment dye, easy-care / wrinkle-resistant, mercerisation, peach-skin and soft-silicone hand-feel. Specify the finish in the tech pack and approve it on the sample, because finishing changes both shade and measurement.

A managed production network — from fabric development to final inspection. Select a stage to see the equipment, capacity and standards applied to your order.
01We source and develop woven fabrics through audited mills — poplin, Oxford, twill, linen, flannel, canvas and viscose — with lab dips, hand-feel matching and shrinkage pre-testing before bulk commitment.
02Pattern masters translate tech packs into graded patterns and first samples, with fit sessions and measurement reports before the pre-production sample is locked for bulk.
03Controlled spreading and precision cutting with marker-efficiency reporting, bundle tracking and shade sorting to keep panels consistent across the entire order.
04Dedicated woven lines with operation breakdowns, roving in-line QC and end-of-line checks to hold stitch density, seam strength and symmetry across every size set.
05Controlled finishing and wash development — enzyme, garment dye, easy-care and soft-hand — with shade and measurement re-checks after wash so the bulk matches the approved sample.
06Final random inspection to AQL 2.5, metal detection where required, and export packing with carton marks, assortment and barcode verification before shipment release.

Answers to the questions sourcing teams ask most before placing a woven program. Search, filter by topic, or expand all to read through.
For woven shirting, trousers and dresses, our standard minimum is 300 pieces per color per style. Tailored blazers and heavy canvas outerwear may require 500 pieces where the fabric mill imposes a higher minimum. We confirm the exact MOQ in writing before you commit to sampling.
Yes. We produce fully branded private-label programs: woven or printed main labels, care labels, size labels, hangtags, branded polybags and carton marks per your artwork. We can also develop custom trims and buttons to match your brand identity.
We source poplin, Oxford, twill, linen, flannel, chambray, canvas, corduroy, viscose and voile through audited mills. Yarn-dyed checks and stripes, organic GOTS cotton, and recycled blends are available. If you have a reference swatch, we can develop a matching fabric and submit lab dips for approval.
Yes — easy-care, wrinkle-resistant, liquid-ammonia, mercerised, enzyme-wash and soft-hand finishes are all available for woven shirting. For EU and US programs we use restricted-substance-compliant finishing chemistry and can provide the relevant test reports.
Yes. For yarn-dyed stripes and checks we plan markers specifically for pattern matching and match at the placket, pocket, yoke and side seams. Matching increases fabric consumption slightly, which we factor into the quotation transparently so there are no surprises at bulk.
We target ≤3% residual shrinkage after three home launderings, tested to ISO 6330. Stricter programs can specify ≤2%. Shrinkage is pre-tested on the bulk fabric lot before cutting, and the pattern is adjusted to compensate so finished measurements stay within tolerance after wash.
Production is placed only in audited partner factories holding BSCI, SEDEX, ISO 9001 or WRAP credentials. Fabrics can be supplied with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, and GOTS organic cotton is available on request. We share the applicable factory audit and fabric certificates with your order documentation.
We approve lab dips under a D65 light box, maintain shade bands across dye lots, and sort fabric rolls by shade before cutting. Continuity cards travel with each bundle so panels from the same shade group are sewn together, preventing shade variation within a single garment.
First samples take 7–8 days for shirting, trousers and dresses, and 10–12 days for tailored pieces. Bulk lead time is typically 45–60 days after pre-production sample approval and fabric availability; tailored programs run 60–75 days. We confirm a dated milestone plan at order confirmation.
We ship on FOB, CIF or DDP terms to the USA, UK, EU, Australia and the Middle East. Standard payment is 30% T/T deposit with 70% against a copy of the bill of lading; irrevocable L/C at sight is accepted for established programs. Third-party inspection is welcome before shipment release.
