Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of shirts can you create prototype patterns for?
A: We specialize in creating prototype patterns for a wide variety of shirts, including custom shirts, long-sleeve shirts, men's shirts, dress shirts, and more. If you have a specific design in mind, we can work with you to bring it to life.
Q: How do I get started with your prototype pattern-making service?
A: Simply send us a message through our contact page with details about your design. We'll review your request, and once we understand your needs, we'll guide you through the next steps, including submitting any concept drawings or samples you may have.
Q: What if I don’t have a physical sample, only a concept drawing?
A: If you have a concept drawing, we require you to provide a block pattern, reference pattern, or digital pattern design as a base. We will develop your prototype using this base pattern to ensure accuracy and consistency in the final product. If you don't have a base pattern, we can assist you in creating one before moving forward with your design.
