Buyer Questions
We operate computerized German Stoll and Japanese Shima Seiki flat-bed knitting machines in 12GG, 14GG, and 16GG gauges. These fine gauges yield featherweight, breathable sweaters, cardigans, and knit pullovers with clean, dense stitch architecture.
We source tight-twist compact ring-spun and combed two-ply yarns (such as 2/28s, 2/32s, and 2/48s). Following computerized knitting, garments receive a bio-polishing enzyme bath that removes loose surface micro-fibrils, ensuring Grade 4–5 Martindale pilling resistance across repeated wears.
We employ full-fashioned dial linking machinery where collars, plackets, armholes, and side seams are linked course-by-course. This produces flat, flexible, zero-bulk seams that mimic luxury bespoke knitwear and eliminate itchy overlock ridges.
For cardigans, we supply genuine horn, corozo nut, mother-of-pearl shell, and laser-engraved dyed-to-match resin buttons. For quarter-zips, we provide concealed nylon coil or antique brass/silver YKK zippers with custom metal or leather pull tabs.
Our minimum order quantity starts at 200 pieces per style/colorway. You can distribute this quantity across up to 5 standard sizes (XS through 3XL) with zero sizing surcharges.
Yarn knitdowns and gauge swatches take 3–5 business days. Fit proto samples take 7–10 business days. Following pre-production approval, bulk knitwear manufacturing and finishing take 28–35 days, followed by sea freight (Chittagong) or express air dispatch (Dhaka).
