Cut & sew knitwear
Produksee produces cut & sew knitwear in Indonesia, cutting panels from knitted yardage and assembling them into finished garments. Faster and lower cost per piece than fully fashioned construction, suited to volume programmes, simple silhouettes and sharper price points.
Cut & sew is knitwear made the way woven garments are made: knit the fabric, cut the pattern, sew it together. It is the right answer far more often than knitwear purists admit — but only when the fabric has been developed with cutting in mind.
Control
What decides whether cut & sew works
Fabric stability
A knitted fabric that curls at the edge will fight every operation downstream. Stability is a fabric development decision, made before any cutting.
Relaxation before cutting
Yardage is relaxed before the marker is laid. Cut it straight off the machine and every panel shrinks after assembly.
Seam elasticity
The seam has to stretch as much as the fabric or it will burst. Stitch type and thread are specified per fabric, not per factory habit.
Marker efficiency
Cutting waste is real yarn. Marker layout is where a cut & sew programme's cost is actually decided.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Is cut & sew lower quality?
No — it is a different construction, not a worse one. It is lower quality only when a fabric developed for fully fashioned work is cut anyway.
Which of my styles should be cut & sew?
Usually the simple, high-volume ones. Send the range and we will tell you which styles change construction and why.
Can you produce the fabric as well as the garment?
Yes. Knitting the yardage in-house is what lets us relax and stabilise it correctly before cutting.

Knit cardigans
A cardigan is judged at the button band. It carries the wearer's eye, it takes the most handling, and it is the first place a badly balanced knit shows itself — the band ripples, the fronts hang unevenly, and the garment looks cheap before anyone has read the label.
Sweaters & pullovers
An oversized sweater is not a fitted sweater cut larger. The drop shoulder moves the balance point off the shoulder seam, so the whole garment hangs from the neckline instead — and if the neck rib is knitted at the wrong tension, the body pulls the collar out of shape within a season.
Knit vests
A vest is mostly edge. Take the sleeves off a knitted garment and the armhole, the neckline and the front band become almost the whole thing — which is why a vest exposes bad finishing faster than any other knit in a range.
Knit polos
A knit polo is where the factory's collar work is on public display. Tipping, striping, and placket alignment all have to land within a millimetre of each other on a piece the wearer sees in the mirror every time they put it on.
