The Production Blueprint

Eight phases.
Zero handoffs.

Every BHLANKS program runs the same disciplined path — from qualification to reorder — with one team accountable end to end.

01

Material & Construction

Looped inside.
Smooth outside.

French terry is built with a clean knit face and an unbrushed looped interior. That structure holds shape, breathes, and resists the pilling and collapse that ruins brushed fleece — which is why it wears in instead of wearing out.

Garment dye
100% cotton, dyed as a finished garment for depth and lived-in hand.
Stitch quality
Reinforced seams, clean coverstitch, consistent SPI across the run.
Labeling
Woven main labels, care and size labels, hang tags, retail compliance.
Full size range
Kids 2–12 and adults, graded across the complete size curve.
