How a FITS LIKE layer is put together

72% recycled polyamide, 28% elastane compression double-knit. Seams are joined on a flatlock so the allowance lies flush and nothing rubs. Shoulder lines are taped with self fabric so a strap cannot grow, and strap joins are bar-tacked twice. Waistbands are cut from a single length of knitted elastic and closed with a three-step zigzag that stretches with you instead of snapping. Hems and arm openings are bonded flat rather than turned and stitched, so there is no ridge under clothing. Smoothing panels are set inside the front with no stitch line at the edge, bodysuits close on a three-position press stud over a lined lower panel, and seamless pieces are knitted closed at the edge with no hem at all. Every piece is measured, steamed and checked at the same bench.

Care

Rinse in cool water after hard wear rather than leaving damp. Machine wash at 30C in a mesh bag, inside out, low spin. No fabric conditioner, no bleach, no softener sheets. Dry flat, straightening the waistband while damp. Do not tumble dry, do not iron the waistband, do not dry clean.
