Body Text: WRAP worked with Ted Baker to resolve a colourfastness issue on a womenswear garment. As part of this work, the critical paths for design and production were reviewed to identify the information requested from suppliers at each stage of the product development. Consequently, Ted Baker identified an opportunity to review part of its quality management process and has subsequently developed a Fabric Technical Sheet to be used in advance of booking bulk production.

Body Text: After identifying an issue with the blind felled hems on its tailored garments and their tendency to fail after washing or wearing, ASOS worked with WRAP to trial a bonding seal on both menswear and womenswear tailored trousers. The trial involved the application of Coats ‘Hemseal’ thread to one hem on each pair of trousers. The garments were then subjected to a series of durability washes to assess how the hem strength performed.

Body Text: From engaging with customers and colleagues, F&F saw that there was a need to make its black jeans retain their colour for longer. To resolve this issue, F&F worked with its suppliers Kipas and Huntsman. Through the use of Huntsman’s special black dye, F&F has been able to develop a fabric that stays black even after 20 home laundry washes with the shade change of grade 4.

Body Text: COS ran wash test trials on four different menswear merino wool jumpers, in order to review and assess the optimal care instructions to maximise the garments’ life. Five different wash cycles were undertaken, at 30°C gentle, and in cold wash. After each wash cycle, samples were assessed in terms of stability to washing (via flat measurements); visual assessment of pilling and any colour variation; and overall general appearance.

Body Text: New Look identified an issue with button attachment failure on some womenswear stretch jeans, specifically on the shank button waistband and fly area. In order to understand why the issue was occurring, New Look analysed the returns and product testing data. A study of the faulty New Look samples indicated that the issue tended to be caused by stress at the button attachment area, leading to fabric failure.
