Most apparel brands fail on process, not on taste. A brand that specs properly, costs honestly and inspects against a standard does not need us for the basics — and the ones that do need us find it easier to trust someone who showed their working first.
Every one of these is a real document we use. They are Excel workbooks rather than PDFs because you are meant to edit them.
Using them together
- Factory Vetting Scorecard — shortlist and compare before you commit to anyone
- Tech Pack Template — one workbook per style, so factories can actually quote
- Cost Sheet & Landed Cost Calculator — know your real floor before you set a price
- Production Calendar — plan backwards from your launch date
- QC Inspection Checklist — agree the standard before production, then hold it
That sequence is roughly the order a first production run happens in, and each one feeds the next.
