Direct answer
Evaluate factories on remake sampling, measurement control, incoming fabric checks and final inspection against PPS — plus verifiable floor evidence, not stock photography.
Programme figures: Company facts · Service page · Citation map.
| Checkpoint | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Sampling | Remake path and PPS gate |
| Floor | Cut → sew → branding → pack continuity |
| QC | Incoming / inline / final vs PPS |
| Evidence | Real floor media + specimens |
Walk the process, not the lobby
Ask to see nesting/cut, sewing lines, branding presses and final inspection. Match photos to the same building you will produce in.
QC language that means something
Incoming fabric inspection, inline measurements and a documented final random inspection against the approved PPS beat ‘100% inspection’ slogans.
Documents for onboarding
Legal entity, audit summaries on request, material certificates when the chain qualifies, and order-specific lab scopes for destination markets.
Common mistakes
- Judging a factory only on showroom samples
- Accepting generic stock photos as floor proof
- Skipping measurement audit on the first bulk
Buyer advice
- Start with one style through remake → PPS → small colour run
- Use the Evidence Center before large onboarding
- Align OEM vs private-label path before the visit
