The FittDesign Podcast

In today's FittBite, we explore how AI-generated tech packs can create production risk when visual mockups, unvalidated measurements, fabric ranges, and broad construction notes are treated as final specifications.

The FittBite covers the difference between a concept document and a controlled production tech pack, including points of measurement, fabric approval, construction decisions, factory capability, sample validation, and ownership of each technical detail.

Tune in before sending an AI-generated tech pack to a factory.

In today's FittBite, we outline five product types that new activewear founders should approach carefully before launching.

The FittBite covers highly technical outerwear, high-impact sports bras, detailed seamless leggings, one-piece activewear, and products that require too much customer education, with a focus on sampling, fit testing, sizing, manufacturing complexity, returns, and customer trust.
