What Problems We Can Solve
We help brands reduce shrinkage, shape distortion, and batch-to-batch inconsistencies through controlled fabric relaxation, precise pattern engineering, and standardized production processes—improving dimensional stability from development through repeat bulk production.
1. Reduce Shrinkage After Washing
- Problem: Many heavyweight garments lose their original fit and shrink dramatically after washing.
- Solution: We apply advanced fabric relaxation, wash testing, and pattern compensation to guarantee consistent, stable sizing.

2. Prevent Fabric Twisting and Seam Distortion
- Problem: Unstable yarn construction causes oversized hoodies and t-shirts to twist and warp.
- Solution: We lock the grain alignment and engineer stable fabrics to ensure side seams stay perfectly straight.
3. Improve Color Fastness and Reduce Fading
- Problem: Poor dyeing and uncontrolled washing lead to early fading, color bleeding, and uneven spots.
- Solution: We use premium reactive dye systems and strict color fastness testing for a richer, longer-lasting look.
4. Maintain Oversized Fit and Shape Stability
- Problem: Heavyweight apparel easily loses its structure, making hoods sag and shoulders stretch out.
- Solution: Engineered oversized patterns with reinforced seams and balanced rib systems to maintain the authentic streetwear shape.

How Kellogg Controls Shrinkage
Fabric Pre-Shrinking Process
- We utilize advanced industrial steam pre-shrinking machines to relax fabric tension before cutting.
- This proactive stabilization process ensures our heavyweight fabrics maintain a stable structure.
Strict Tolerance Management
- We guarantee a strict 3% to 5% shrinkage tolerance for high-GSM French terry and fleece, meeting global retail standards.
- This precision setup prevents garment twisting, side-seam distortion, and post-wash deformation.
Fit Consistency Commitment
- Every bulk fabric batch undergoes standard 24-hour relaxation and laundry testing before mass production.
- These rigid quality controls secure flawless fit consistency and eliminate sizing complaints for your brand.
