Menswear Design & Technical Drawings

Design Tech Packs

Turning ideas, references and product direction into considered designs ready to move into development.

An idea needs enough definition to become a product.

We develop menswear concepts into clear garment designs, combining creative direction with proportion, construction, detailing and commercial product thinking.

Depending on the project, this can begin with an initial idea, reference garment, mood board, collection direction or an existing product that needs to be reworked.

What You Can Start With
  • An IdeaYou know what you want to create but need it translated into product.
  • ReferencesYou have imagery, garments or references that establish a direction but should not simply be copied.
  • A Mood BoardThe collection has a visual language but needs to become actual product.
  • An Existing ProductA garment needs to be reconsidered, updated or developed into something new.
  • A Collection PlanYou know which products are required and need them designed coherently.
How We Approach Design
  • PurposeWhat role does the product play within the collection?
  • SilhouetteWhat proportion, volume and shape are right for the intended direction?
  • ConstructionHow should the garment actually be built?
  • DetailWhich features give the product identity without becoming unnecessary decoration?
  • MaterialHow do fabric and construction influence the design?
  • CommercialityDoes the product make sense for the customer, collection and intended price point?
Technical Drawings

Technical flats communicate the design clearly to development teams, pattern cutters and manufacturers.

  • Front and back garment views
  • Construction details
  • Pocket and fastening placement
  • Seam positioning
  • Trim and hardware placement
  • Design proportions
  • Colourway indication
  • Development notes where required

Technical drawings and full technical packs are not automatically the same thing — what's included depends on the scope agreed for the project.
