PROCESS TIMELINE
Six Stages, Coordinated End to End

KNIT CONSTRUCTIONS
Different Constructions. Different Expressions.
Jacquard
Patterning knitted into the fabric across multiple yarn colours.
Intarsia
Blocks of colour knitted in place, with no yarn carried behind.
Cable Knit
Crossed stitch columns giving relief, weight and texture.
Rib Knit
Vertical ribbing with natural stretch and recovery.
07
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
From Sweater Concept to Production-Ready Product
Development starts with the buyer's brief and ends with an approved product that can be produced consistently. Each round is documented so specifications, measurements and construction are agreed before production begins.

Six responsibilities MIB carries across a sweater program, in the order a buyer meets them.

Product Development
Briefs turned into technically resolved, production-ready products.
03
Manufacturing Network
Production placed with partners suited to the construction and quality level.
04
Quality Control
Checks against the approved specification from materials to final inspection.
05
Production Coordination
Timelines, approvals and finishing kept aligned across stages.
06
Buyer Communication
One point of contact, with status and issues reported as they arise.
11 — MATERIAL
It Starts With the Yarn
Material selection influences the hand feel, appearance, weight and character of a sweater.
COTTON · WOOL · MERINO · CASHMERE · ACRYLIC · VISCOSE · RECYCLED
