Advanced Knit Construction & Detailing Options
We produce various knit styles including cable, jacquard, rib, waffle, and intarsia with precision link seaming. Our Chicago clients often customize trims, cuff tension, and placket structures for modern fits. Each piece undergoes tension, shrinkage, and wash stability tests for consistent results.
