Method · Operational Documents

The paperwork that actually runs a collection.

Twenty-one working templates spanning the full chain — from first moodboard to confirmed order — built the way a real production office builds them.

How to read this page: documents are grouped by where they sit in the chain, not by importance. Each one is a real, reusable template — several are intentionally left blank where the content would otherwise be client-specific pricing or data. Tap any preview to see it larger. Previews shown here are watermarked samples, not downloadable files — get in touch if you'd like to see the full working document.
Why every document here is a neutral sample. I can't publish work made for past clients or employers, or for my own brand — that material is confidential or simply not mine to show publicly. Everything on this page uses a fictional garment (a hoodie and a pair of jeans) built from scratch, so you can evaluate the method and the level of detail without me breaching anyone's privacy.
Built for your brand, not just shown as a sample. Every template on this page can be delivered rebuilt around your own garments, sizing and branding — either filled in as a finished document or handed to you blank, ready for your team to use going forward. Get in touch for a quote.

01 — Research & Concept
01

Moodboard

Concept direction and colour story for a capsule, built before any technical work starts. Shows how a design brief gets translated into a working colour palette.

MB-0001-N
02

Material Library

Fabric candidates evaluated side by side — composition, weight, hand feel — before anything is committed to a BOM. The step that prevents costly fabric mistakes later.

MATLIB-0001-N
02 — Technical Development
03

Tech Pack

The core production document: flat construction sketches, numbered callouts and trim notes a factory can actually work from. Two garments, one page, zero ambiguity.

TP-0001-N
04

Spec Sheet

Point-of-measure list and tolerances, graded XS–XL. The reference that keeps every size consistent across cutting rooms and production runs.

SPEC-0001-N
05

Bill of Materials

Every component of a garment — fabric, trims, labels, packaging — in one traceable list. The document sourcing and costing both depend on.

BOM-0001-N
06

Trim Sheet

Full technical detail on every trim: dimensions, finish, placement. Where the BOM gives the list, this gives the factory exact specs to approve against.

TRIM-0001-N
07

Care Label & Composition Spec

Composition, care instructions and label placement, ready for compliance review. Small document, frequent source of costly reprints when skipped.

CARE-0001-N
08

Material Consumption Sheet

Converts a BOM into real order quantities — consumption per unit, wastage, totals by size run. What a purchasing team actually needs to place an order.

MC-0001-N
09

Costing Sheet

Materials, labour, overhead and margin, structured so the maths is transparent. Empty by design — this is the method, not a real price list.

COST-0001-N
03 — Sampling
10

Sample Request & Tracking

Tracks every sample stage — proto to top-of-production — so nothing gets approved out of order or lost between rounds.

SMP-0001-N
11

Fit Comment Sheet

Spec vs measured, deviation and action, logged against the POM list from the spec sheet. Keeps fit sessions from turning into vague verbal notes.

FIT-0001-N
12

Defect Sheet

A structured log for sample inspection — defect type, location, severity, disposition. Turns “this sample has issues” into an actionable record.

DEF-0001-N
04 — Pre-Production
13

Production Timeline

Milestones from sourcing to delivery on one critical path. Makes it obvious, early, when a date is about to slip.

TL-0001-N
14

Production Progress Checklist

Step-by-step tracking per order or lot — cutting through shipping — with a simple tick and date per stage. No spreadsheet archaeology needed.

PROG-0001-N
15

Purchase Order Template

A clean, complete PO structure for materials and trims — the paperwork that keeps supplier orders unambiguous and auditable.

PO-0001-N
05 — Production & QC
16

QC Inspection Report (AQL)

Standard AQL sampling and defect classification, with a clear pass / fail / concession outcome. The document that protects a shipment before it leaves the factory.

QC-0001-N
17

Packing List

Carton-by-carton breakdown — size run, weights, dimensions — built to match what customs and freight forwarders actually ask for.

PL-0001-N
18

Shipping Mark / Carton Label Spec

Exact layout and placement for outer carton labelling, so every box arrives identifiable without opening it.

SHIP-0001-N
06 — Commercial
19

Line Sheet

Wholesale-facing sell-in reference — styles, colourways, sizing — built for buyers to move quickly through a range.

LS-0001-N
20

Showroom Price List

Sell-in and sell-out side by side, with margin made visible. Structure only — no real pricing is published here.

PRICE-0001-N
21

Order Form

The final handoff document — buyer details, size breakdown, totals, signature — that turns a line sheet conversation into a confirmed order.

ORD-0001-N
