Behind the fabric: visiting our knitting partner

Notes from a day at the mill where our Second Skin jersey is made.

Most people only notice good shapewear when it fails: a seam that shows, a waistband that rolls, a fabric that gives up after a few washes. In this piece we walk through what we look for when we develop a new style and how you can apply the same checks in a fitting room.

Start with fabric weight and recovery, then look at the seams and edges, and only then at the compression level. A lighter compression that stays in place all day beats a stronger one you want to take off by lunch.
