Literal translation: "For Good Measure"
CAD Pattern Engineering: Precise digital patterns compatible with modern production formats.
High-Yield Marker Plotting: Minimize expensive fabric scrap with optimized nesting layouts.
On-Island Cutting & Sample Runs: Fast turnarounds without costly mainland shipping delays.
From first drapery and computerized CAD digitization to full size runs, sample fitting, and high-efficiency cutting tables.
First pattern development built from tech packs, design sketches, or reference garments. We combine classical draping and modern computerized CAD (TUKAcad/Gerber/DXF compatible) for pinpoint accuracy.
Systematic grading across entire size ranges without losing proportion or balance. Whether you require standard XS–XL or extended inclusive sizing, we ensure fit consistency.
Fabric cost is usually your largest expense. Our CAD nesting algorithms maximize yield, aligning matched prints, directional grain lines, and motif repeats, printed on industrial wide-format plotters.
Clean, notched, and bundled cut work ready for the sewing line. We manage multi-ply spreads, delicate silks, knits, rayon, linen, and heavy denim on our professional cutting tables in Kalihi.
From first fit prototypes and salesman samples to localized small-batch manufacturing. We ensure every seam, topstitch, and buttonhole adheres to international quality standards.
Guiding emerging local designers through the intricacies of manufacturing feasibility, fabric selection, cost-per-unit breakdown, and production scaling in Hawaii and beyond.
