What a denim sample should prove
A denim sample is not only a look check. It confirms that the pattern, fabric and wash work together: that the measurements are right after washing, the shade matches the target and the trims sit correctly. Review it on a fit model if you can, and measure it against your size chart.
Sample lead time is typically 7 days once the brief and materials are agreed. Plan for at least one round of comments, especially for new fits or complex washes.
A sample review checklist
Use this list when the sample arrives:
- Measure key points after washing against the size chart.
- Compare shade to your reference in daylight.
- Check stitching, bartacks and pocket placement.
- Confirm hardware, patches and labels match the spec.
- Note any changes clearly, ideally with photos and marked measurements.
From sample to bulk
Once approved, the sample becomes the reference for bulk production and inspection. Keep it safe and record any agreed changes in writing. Bulk timing depends on order quantity, and the MOQ is 100 pcs. See the production process page for the full approval path, or read the jeans tech pack checklist in resources.
How many samples to plan
For a new fit, plan for at least two rounds: a first sample to check the pattern and a second to confirm the corrections. For a known fit in a new wash, one round may be enough. If you are developing several washes, ask for wash swatches or panels before full garments to narrow the options.
Quick tip
Keep a photo record of every sample round for reference.

Browse all buying guides Jeans Tech Pack Checklist: Fit, Wash and Hardware
A jeans tech pack must connect the pattern to the fabric and final finish. A size chart measured before washing, a separate vintage reference and an unlabeled button image leave critical relationships unexplained. Give each detail a clear identifier and state the condition in which the finished jeans should be measured.
Read the guide Production planningHow Is Denim Manufactured? Fabric and Jeans Stages
How denim is manufactured can refer to two different processes: making the fabric and making a finished garment from it. A jeans order connects those stages but does not necessarily place them in one facility. Knowing the distinction helps a buyer ask who supplies each input and where approvals belong.

Rigid denim has no intentional elastic stretch component; stretch denim is designed to extend and recover. For jeans development, the choice affects pattern ease, movement and the checks needed after washing and wear.
