Development

How your apron program starts.

The first five stages decide most of the cost. After approval, production is execution against a document you have already signed.

  1. 01

    Brief / Tech Pack

    We review the specification, reference garment or sketch and come back with the questions that would otherwise surface as a failed first sample.

  2. 02

    Fabric & Trim Review

    Materials are matched to the requirement and presented with the commercial consequence of each option attached.

  3. 03

    Commercial Costing

    FOB costing is built against the confirmed construction, materials, decoration, packing and quantity.

  4. 04

    Sample Development

    Proto and fit samples are produced against the specification, with a written comment sheet at every round.

  5. 05

    Fit / Approval

    Fit, measurements, colour and decoration are approved and locked as the reference for bulk.

Buyer questions

Questions we get asked.

Poly-cotton twill is the common choice. Most often a 65/35 blend, which balances durability, shrinkage control and the ability to take a stain-release finish. Cotton canvas suits heavier utility aprons where abrasion matters more than laundering.

It is a chemical finish applied to the fabric that reduces how readily soil bonds to the fibre, so more of it lifts during washing. It is a fabric property, not a construction one, and its durability across wash cycles should be confirmed by testing before it is relied on in a program.

Yes. Send a current apron and we will measure it, identify the construction, pocket configuration and hardware, and propose a fabric match. This is the fastest route to a comparable quotation.

Bar tacks at the pocket mouth and at strap attachment points, which are where failures start. Pocket bags and strap webbing carry the load, so specification there matters more than overall fabric weight.

Yes: self-fabric ties, webbing with a slider, buckles, D-rings or press studs. Adjustable neck hardware is common where one apron has to fit a wide range of wearers, and it is specified at development along with the hardware reference.

One style is enough to see how we work. Send a tech pack, a reference garment or a written requirement and we will come back on construction, materials and FOB costing.
