Stretch without recovery notes creates returns and fit complaints. Record how samples recover after wear-like stretch before you lock bulk fabric stories.

What to write on the sample ticket

  • Direction checked and wash state
  • Whether recovery is acceptable for this silhouette
  • Prior program baselines if any
  • Whether wash chemistry is known to change recovery on this face
