Checking first fit samples against a tech pack is a critical step in the garment development process, ensuring that the initial physical prototype aligns with the design specifications. During this stage, designers and product developers meticulously evaluate the sample to verify that all measurements, construction details, and design elements are accurately represented as outlined in the tech pack. This includes assessing fit, drape, and overall aesthetics, as well as checking the quality of stitching and finishing. Any discrepancies between the sample and the tech pack can be identified and addressed early, saving time and resources in the later stages of production.

The first fit sample review also provides an opportunity to gather feedback from stakeholders, including designers, fit models, and production teams. This collaborative approach helps to refine the garment’s design and functionality, ensuring that it meets both aesthetic and practical requirements. If adjustments are necessary, they can be documented and communicated clearly, allowing for revisions in subsequent samples. By rigorously checking first fit samples against the tech pack, brands can enhance product quality and ensure that the final garment reflects the intended vision, ultimately leading to greater customer satisfaction.
