A brushed fabric direction was selected from first-touch softness alone.
The development decisions
01
Compare surface before and after agreed wear or test.
02
Define acceptable change visually.
03
Keep finish identity tied to the approved material.
The approval checkpoints
Approved swatch, surface reference and pilling review scope.
For a new project with the same issue, connect these checkpoints to the style reference, sample revision and responsible reviewer. An approval for one garment does not establish the performance of a different material, size or construction.
