Activewear, Seamless and Performance: When the Fabric Is the Product
You follow one activewear order through. You see why cutting elastane content raises the price, and why a recovery test measured after one wash predicts nothing. You see how a seamless machine writes the size range, and what a bonded seam really costs. You see why a comfort comment changed every measurement. And you meet the claims that are true flat and false on a body.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can cost, plan, and inspect a garment by the rules of its own category, and recognise when a technique you learned on one product will quietly fail on another.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a working method for an activewear order. You write a stretch-fabric specification in newtons rather than percentages. You place a wash-life test plan in development. You build a seamless plan on machine groups and dye-vessel minimums. You cost a bonding decision with its consumable lead times. And you read a fit and shade protocol under extension.
