Performance Layer Development

Performance layers developed for stretch, recovery and comfort.

TB Group develops active tops, half-zips and lightweight hoodies by controlling stretch fabric selection, recovery testing, movement fit, zipper and hood construction, wash stability, factory allocation and bulk quality execution.

Process Flow

How a performance layer program moves.

Performance layers require fabric recovery, movement comfort and clean construction from first sample to bulk.

Buyer Brief

Activity type, target handfeel, compression level, style reference, price and delivery plan are defined.

Fabric Direction

Polyester, nylon, cotton blend, spandex level, peached handfeel or fleece direction are proposed.

Movement Engineering

Shoulder mobility, sleeve length, collar comfort, hoodie balance and body fit are checked.

Cost & Allocation

Factory capability, fabric MOQ, lead time and cost direction are aligned.

Prototype Sample

Proto sample checks fit, zipper, seam comfort, stretch behavior and appearance.

Fit & Recovery Approval

Stretch recovery, wash stability, measurement and wearing comfort are approved.

Bulk Control

Cutting, sewing, zipper attachment, finishing and inline QC are managed.

Shipment Handover

Final inspection, packing and shipment documents complete delivery.

Development Lab

What we test before bulk.

Active layers need stable stretch, recovery, soft handfeel and comfort against the body. We control fabric and construction details before bulk production.

01

Stretch Fabric Direction

Fabric is selected by activity level, handfeel, stretch, recovery, opacity and cost target.

02

Movement Fit Control

Armhole, shoulder, sleeve, body length and collar comfort are reviewed in fit sample.

03

Seam & Trim Engineering

Zipper, hood, drawcord, seam type and label placement are checked for comfort and production stability.

04

Factory Readiness

Factories are matched by activewear sewing skill, fabric handling, QC discipline and capacity.

Sustainable Direction

Responsible performance fabric choices.

Sustainability can be considered through recycled yarn direction, durable construction and lower remake risk.

Recycled Polyester Direction

Recycled polyester blend options can be reviewed for active layers when suitable.

  • Recycled poly option
  • Stretch performance check
  • Colorfastness review

Durability & Recovery

Better recovery and pilling control support longer product life.

  • Recovery testing
  • Pilling direction
  • Wash stability

Efficient Development

Clear fabric and fit approval reduces unnecessary sample remakes.

  • Accurate brief
  • Proto correction
  • PP lock before bulk
