Design and Prototype Facility

Natick, MA

In the Design Facility, highly skilled clothing designers develop patterns and fabricate prototypes of end items. The facility has the various sewing machines, presses, fusing machines and ultrasonic machines necessary to accomplish this mission. These prototypes allow for initial fit/wear tests and assist in the preparation of technical data packages for large-scale procurement. Based on data collected, design changes are made and implemented, as necessary, throughout the development process, resulting in a proven final technical data package/purchase description and master pattern.
