Non-Layering Knit Profile
- All Knit Profiles use the “+” system to indicate the amount of garment ease added to the finished Knit.
- For all Knit Profiles T.A.P.E™ automatically shortens the finished long sleeve length 1” from the client’s core measurement sleeve length.
- Short Sleeve length and Knit Length are shortened 1”-3” from a Client’s core measurement based on his preference choice.
- While Polo Knits are meant to fit similarly to Custom Shirts, a knit product profile will add less garment ease because a knit fabrication has more stretch than a woven dress shirt fabrication.
- As a result, the T.A.P.E™ recommendation for Knits (Non-Layering) based on the same preference is 1” smaller than Dress shirts. For example, the Standard Fit Dress Shirt recommendation is +4 and the Standard Fit Knit recommendation is +3.
The following is a list of some Knit styles which typically utilize a Non- Layering Product Profile.
- Polo shirts, short or long sleeved
- Tee shirts
- Henley’s
- Split Front Polo shirts
- Mock Neck Zip, worn as a fitted base layer
Layering
- A Layering Knit Product Profile has several differences from a Non-Layering Profile recommended to properly adjust your client’s fit for a layering knit.
- T.A.P.E.™ will increase the garment ease recommendation by 1” on chest waist and hip
- The Finished Waist and Hip recommendation will always be within 2” of each other. This recommendation creates the correct, straighter shape for Layered Knit.
- T.A.P.E.™ automatically shortens the core measurement shirt length 3” to achieve a correct Layered Knit length ending below the client’s waistband.
- The Standard Sleeve Recommendation for a Layering Knit is Fitted
As with Non-Layering the Layering Knit Profile allows you to create a unique layering style for your client. The Layering Knit Profile is required for some styles but can also be used for Polos or Tees to create a sweater replacement.
- Hoodie Zip
- Hoodie Pull over
- Mock Neck Half Zips
- Mock Neck Full Zip
- Long Sleeve Tees to create a sweater replacement
