THREAD — (Book Only)
$29.99
Nobody hands you the vocabulary before your first factory call. Most first-time founders learn what GSM means, what a lab dip is, and why a size chart needs grading — the expensive way, by guessing wrong on a real production run.
THREAD front-loads that education into one sitting, in the order a garment actually comes together: fabric, construction, sizing, color, printing, sampling, tags, and the strategy behind when you actually release your first collection. By the time you close it, you'll walk into your first sample review already sounding like you've done this before.
You don't need any design or sewing background. Every term is introduced in plain language before it's used casually — THREAD assumes you already know what you want to make, not how the industry works.
What's included:
90-page fully illustrated field guide, delivered as an instant PDF download
Both the English and French editions, included with every purchase
11 chapters across 6 parts — fabric & materials, construction, sizing, color & print, sampling, and going to market
50+ original line-art illustrations and reference diagrams (fiber trees, measurement charts, the Pantone approval workflow, and more)
Readable on desktop, tablet, or phone — no e-reader required
Whether it's a single graphic tee you can already picture, a streetwear label you've been sketching logos for since high school, or a basics line built around one fabric you can't stop thinking about — THREAD gets you ready for the conversations you're about to have.
