5. Linenwind Manufacturing Solution

Linenwind focused on fabric feel and fit stability during sampling. By confirming linen weight and wash process early, the homewear pieces achieved a soft, lived-in feel suitable for daily wear.

Two rounds of sampling refined comfort details such as waistband elasticity, seam placement, and garment balance. Approved fit blocks were then locked for bulk production.

Bulk manufacturing followed a small-batch workflow with inline quality checks, ensuring consistent appearance and measurements across all styles.
