1. Inspection Environment and Preparation

• Standard lighting: Inspection is carried out under standard light sources, including D65 daylight or TL84 store lighting.
• Inspection table: A wide, clean white table is used so garments can be laid out without creases.
• Reference samples: Final approved samples and work instructions are checked in real time during inspection.

2. Garment Inspection Sequence

The following principles are recommended for garment inspection.

• To check color variation within the same size, inspect products of the same size by stacking them together.
• Inspect from the collar down toward the hem.
• Check the left side first, then the right side.
• Inspect the front panel first, followed by the back panel.
• After checking the outer surface, turn the garment inside out to inspect the lining or inner side.

3. Pre-Inspection Checks

※ Essential Checks

• Confirm whether the final approved sample is available.
• Check whether the specifications in the work instruction match the reference sample and whether any revisions have been made.
• Compare final approval documents, including prototype comments and fitting reports, with the final approved sample.
• Measure two pieces per size. If a deviation is found, measure two additional pieces.

※ Product-Specific Key Checks

• Down products: Check for down leakage through seams, odor and uneven down distribution.
• Denim products: Washing condition must be checked against the reference sample.
• Leather products: Confirm whether matching leather patterns are used for each part.
• Hanger inspection: Inspect garments at the inspector’s eye level.

※ Main Visual Checkpoints

• Whether fabric skewing is present
• Whether the face and back sides of the fabric are correctly used
• Whether color combinations and color variation are present
• Whether the seam allowance is appropriate
• Whether sewing thread thickness is suitable
• Whether stitch count follows the work instruction
• Whether sewing tension, broken stitches or skipped stitches are present
• Whether stitch width is consistent and free from twisting
• Whether puckering is present
• Whether bartack finishing is properly applied at start and end points
• Whether trims, including buttons and snaps, are correctly positioned
• Whether pocket placement and left-right symmetry are correct
• Whether needle holes are present in knit products
• Whether shine has occurred during pressing

4. Inspection Procedure

• Application: For each inspection request received, the inspection date is confirmed through scheduling with the factory to be inspected.
• Preparation: Inspectors review the application and related documents, and confirm the inspection standards, sampling size, measurement specifications and other requirements.
• Specification check and sampling: Product packing condition, labeling, color and measurements are checked, and samples are selected. For full inspection, 100% of products are inspected.
• Inspection: Inspection is conducted according to appearance quality standards. Packaging condition and major defects or unusual findings are photographed.
• Result notice: Inspection results are immediately reported to the factory, and the final report is sent to the client within 24 hours after inspection.
