When the argument starts at the gate
A sewing line cannot sew its way out of greige that arrived heavy, light, or off shade. Many plants only discover that after a bundle is cut. An incoming lot reading is a day at the store or the inspection table by the door, with the lots you name and the lots that happen to arrive while we are there.
We read GSM slips, shade bands, selvedge notes, and the mill’s own incoming form — if the form exists. If it is a blank page with a stamp, we will say that in the briefing. The point is to decide, with your storekeeper and quality lead, which lots should have been held, and which rejects are arriving too late.
What is included
- A count of lots received in the window you choose (usually two to four weeks)
- A side-by-side of claimed GSM versus what the mill lab, or a borrowed scale, actually shows on a sample of rolls
- Shade comments in the language your buyer already uses, not a new colour vocabulary
- A short briefing: hold, use with caution, or return — for the lots we opened
What is not included
We do not run a full laboratory. If you need light-box grading to a retailer standard, we will work beside your own grader. We do not negotiate with the spinning mill or the dyehouse on your behalf unless you ask in writing, and that is a separate day.
How to prepare
Have the last month of delivery notes, the roll tickets still on the cloth, and one person who knows which lots the sewing hall is already complaining about. If a lot is in dispute with a supplier, keep that roll on the table; hiding it wastes the day.
