QC & Risk Notes
Stretch denim and twill blends should list elastane percentage. Above 3% elastane, recovery after washing becomes a concern. Common mistakes in this category include: Ordering by waist alone; Ignoring inseam changes between batches; Not checking pocket depth. Always verify these points during the warehouse QC stage before approving international shipping.
