What WHOLEGARMENT
means to you
A superior alternative to conventional knitting methods, the
seam-free construction of WHOLEGARMENT realizes substantial benefits unmatched
by any other textile product. It opens up a world of unprecedented
opportunities for the knitter, merchandiser, retailer and consumer alike.
Benefits for the
Designer
- Without seams, patterns and designs remain uninterrupted
across the entire garment: front to back; over-the-shoulder; and down-the sleeves
- True reversible knitwear can be produced without the added
weight and bulk of double knits
- 3D shaping allows the design and silhouette of the garment
to be reproduced exactly as intended by the designer
Benefits for the
Producer
- Bottlenecks
in the supply-chain caused by labour intensive cutting and sewing
processes are eliminated
- Cut-loss—the
amount of scrap material that is thrown away after cutting out each part
of the garment—is entirely eliminated
- Since
WHOLEGARMENT can be produced one garment at a time, the leadtime usually
needed to knit each separate part of the garment is no longer an issue
- The
required number of garments can be knit at the required time, permitting
true “on-demand” production
- Since
each garment is produced based on digitally programmed data,
item-to-item and batch-to-batch quality—even for repeat orders— remain
consistent.
Benefits for the
Consumer
- Superior comfort is achieved by doing away with annoying
seams. This is especially effective in the case of infant and
hypoallergenic clothing, where seams can be a source of skin irritation
- Seams no longer interfere with the natural elasticity of
knits, allowing superior stretch and mobility
- Soft and lightweight, seamless skirts and dresses drape
and flow more naturally
- Seamless one-piece construction allows stress to be
distributed evenly throughout, preventing localized pressure points which
may cause discomfort
- By knitting an entire garment with only the required
amount of yarn, WHOLEGARMENT is environmentally friendly knitwear that uses
minimal natural resources
