Clothing Prototype

Tech Pack Services

We manufacture tartan kilts and clothing for men, women, youth, and children — and every garment we produce starts with a tech pack.

A tech pack is the technical blueprint of your garment. It's the single document that tells a manufacturer exactly what you want made and how to make it. Without one, you're relying on interpretation, and interpretation is what turns a sample into three rounds of costly revisions.

This matters especially with tartan. Pleat depth, sett matching across seams, apron alignment, buckle and strap placement, and pleating to the sett versus to the stripe are all decisions that need to be documented, not assumed. The same applies to sizing across a range: a youth kilt is not simply a scaled-down men's kilt, and a women's cut carries its own construction and measurement logic. A complete tech pack captures those distinctions in a format any factory can read and quote from.

How We Make Your Tech Pack

01

Choose your tartan and brand identity

Your sett and your label are what customers recognise first. Settle both before anything is cut.

02

Submit flat sketches or a reference kilt

Sketches or a garment we can measure both work. Consider how it will be made as you plan.

03

Confirm pleating and construction call outs

Pleat depth, apron width, buckle and strap placement. Accurate call-outs need these decisions made.

04

Include colorways and size ranges

Essential across multiple tartans, trim options, and men's, women's, youth and children's sizing.

05

Prepare a bill of materials

Cloth weight and yardage, lining, interfacing, buckles, straps, thread and labels. Every component your run will consume.

06

Add assembly instructions

Set the order of work step by step: pleating, apron, waistband, stitching and hardware fitting.

07

Include packaging details

Hangtags, care labels, folding instructions and boxing. Have these ready before production starts.

What's Next?

After we approve the tech pack, we can start developing the prototype/sample development.
