QC
In the garment industry, whether you are a manufacturer, importer, or brand, you must understand the importance of quality control in this business. This industry shifts swiftly, and any time lost in shipment or defect fixings can lead to unimaginable losses. Moreover, quality issues can quickly disseminate in the digital age, giving competitors an advantage. Therefore, quality control is essential, and quality inspection is the most commonly used method. In this post, we will guide you through the steps of a garment quality inspection, the key checkpoints to focus on, and how can C&Z expertise support your garment quality control.
The Ponchik, a quintessential Russian winter garment, embodies resilience with its thick batting, diamond-quilted patterns, and robust outer fabrics. For brands preserving this functional heritage, uncompromising quality is essential. At C&Z, we specialize in comprehensive Ponchik inspections, ensuring every jacket meets GOST standards while honoring traditional craftsmanship.
Authentic Ponchiks require precise insulation distribution, tear-resistant fabrics, and secure stitching for extreme cold. Flaws like uneven stuffing, weak pereplyot (stitch junctions), or toxic padding compromise both warmth and cultural value. Our inspections cover:
Testing vatnik (cotton batting) density (≥300g/m²) and thermal retention
Verifying diamond pattern alignment (≤2mm deviation)
Stress-testing bortovka (coarse cotton) for abrasion resistance
Ensuring kosovorotka-style ties withstand tension
Certifying REACH-compliant dyes and non-toxic padding
Authenticate batting certifications and GOST 12.4.100 compliance
Monitor stitch tension and pattern consistency
Real-time scrutiny of sleeve gussets and collar insulation
AQL-based inspections per GOST 17037
Thermal imaging, frost simulation (-30°C), and pH balance
With expertise in GOST thermal regulations and Russian craftsmanship, C&Z guarantees Ponchiks that balance tradition with modern performance. Our OEKO-TEX® certifications empower brands to deliver authentic Arctic-ready attire.
