Any patch going onto a garment that will be heavily washed must be trial-run first, and bright-coloured patches must not be paired with pale fabric because of colour bleed.
- 1. Trial before heavy washing
- 2. Natural marks are not quality defects
- 3. No bright patches on pale fabric
- How we support this
1. Trial before heavy washing
Where a patch is attached before the garment is heavily washed, the factory must run and approve a trial first. Otherwise we cannot accept responsibility for patches scorched, badly deformed or discoloured by the wash process.
2. Natural marks are not quality defects
Leather patches will inevitably show vein lines, uneven areas, wrinkles and insect bites. These are outside the scope of quality defects and are part of the material's original character.
3. No bright patches on pale fabric
Brightly coloured patches — yellow, red, green and similar — must not be combined with pale fabrics. Colour transfer into the cloth causes a garment loss we cannot be responsible for.
How we support this
At sampling stage we can supply wash-trial pieces to be tested together with your garment's washing conditions — temperature, time and chemistry. If the leather or process needs to change to avoid colour transfer, we will put alternatives forward before you approve.
