The Cross 7 gg in Cocoa from Pittari, the same style as the Charcoal and listed at the same 140 GBP. It is worth saying what this garment is to the run, which is the second colourway control it has had, and the first from a different house. It is worth then stating what the first one showed, which is that a chart belongs to a garment and not to a colourway. It is worth then stating what this one adds, which is that the same is true of prose: the care text here is a paragraph, and it is identical to the Charcoal's word for word. It is worth then stating what that settles, which is that the whole listing except the colour word and the image files is shared. It is worth then stating what the run can now say with two houses behind it, which is that it no longer needs to guess. The reference is the Cross 7 gg. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable knitwear on OEM and ODM terms, from fabric and trim development to retail or FBA ready packing. We publish this as a development reference and build your own version of it, and we do not supply the branded original or reproduce anyone else's label.
Key Features
- The second colourway control and the first from a different house, so the chart finding now rests on two houses and five colourways. See the note below
- Prose shared as well as numbers: the care paragraph is identical word for word between the two colours. See the note below
- The whole listing shared except the colour word and the image files. See the note below
- A second timing for adding a colourway, about three minutes, against about one minute on the other house. See the note below
- The same fit claim, true to size, and the same five inches of ease. See the note below
- The same sleeve row, rescued by the rounding tool, and the same length row with its last step doubled. See the note below
- No style code on either colourway, so the run cannot even look for a year here. See the note below
- File names starting at one and not at zero, on both colourways. See the note below
Customisable Options
- Yarn: an extra-soft merino lambswool to the reference with the fibre share stated and the micron count given, or a merino with the micron stated, or a lambswool with the shear named, or a British and Irish yarn with the split between them given, each quoted separately
- Colour: a colourway developed to a reference with the standard named, or Pantone, or a lab dip, or a shade band with the tolerances stated, and one chart and one care text published for the style and not one per colourway. See the note below
- Fit: a true to size fit to the reference with the ease published for every size and the body table named, or a relaxed fit with the same figures, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Grading: one grade set for the style applied to every colourway, and published so a reader can see the colourways are the same garment. See the note below
- Colourway control applied: one chart, one care text, one yarn claim and one price across every colourway, with the colour named in the title and in the code where the house has one, and the differences between colourways stated explicitly rather than left to be compared
- Composition with every share stated and summing to one hundred and attached to a fibre and not only a place, the fibre named in the specification and not only in the prose, the yarn count and the micron count, the knit gauge as stitches per inch, the fabric weight in grams per square metre, chest with the flat or round method stated, sleeve length with the sleeve type named and the measurement point stated, the back length with the measurement point stated, shoulder width, an order of preference for cleaning with the temperature as a number, a drying instruction, storage guidance with the reason, shrinkage figures for both length and width, a pilling grade tested after a stated number of cycles, colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light and perspiration, colour fastness tested on every colourway and not only one, a stock line for every colourway, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling

This chart is identical to the Charcoal colourway's in every figure, and the care text is identical word for word, and the run took the pair as its second control and its first from a different house. Note what that settles: the whole listing except the colour word and the image files is shared. Note what the run's first control showed one batch ago, which is that a chart belongs to a garment and not to a colourway, and note what this one adds, which is that the same is true of prose. Note what the run can now say with two houses behind it, which is that it no longer needs to guess. Note the ease, about five inches at every size, and note the claim on the page, which is true to size, and note that the run tested that claim on the other colourway and it failed. Note the sleeve, which reads as two pairs of shared figures and is not: it is a constant quarter inch grade rounded down. Note the length, whose last step is double the others, and note that this is the second case of that shape in two batches and at the same end. Our proposal below publishes one grade set and one care text for the style, the fibre share, the micron count, the gauge, the sleeve point, and colour fastness tested on every colourway.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, smart casual layering, weekends and autumn and winter. A cocoa merino knit reads warmer than a charcoal one and carries a shirt under it or a coat over it, and ribbed cuffs hold their shape through a long day.
Production and Quality Control
This listing publishes three measurements for all four sizes, states a yarn origin with a percentage, gives three cleaning methods in a proper order of preference, gives a full drying method with a shape instruction and a prohibition, gives storage guidance with the reason, gives a caution about pilling, names its country and its yarn countries, and carries four photographs, and every one of those matches the Charcoal colourway, including the care text word for word. It gives no fibre share and attaches its only percentage to a place and not to a fibre, no fibre named in any specification, no micron count, no yarn count, no knit gauge, no fabric weight, no waist, no shoulder width, no sleeve measurement point, no sleeve type, no length measurement point, no neck width, no rib depth, no cuff opening, no washing temperature as a number, no certifier for its sustainability claim, no model, no size conversion, no shrinkage figure, no pilling grade, no colour fastness figure for this colourway as distinct from the other, and no style code at all. Two things follow: the run's second colourway control, from a different house, so the chart finding now rests on two houses and five colourways; and the discovery that prose is shared as well as numbers.
Word for word, and that is the thing worth saying first, and it is worth stating what is identical. It is worth then stating what it is, which is the care text, and it is worth then stating what kind of text it is, which is a paragraph and not a line. It is worth then stating what the run's first control covered, which was numbers: a chart, a code, a care line, a price. It is worth then stating what this one covers, which is prose too, and it is worth then stating what that settles: the whole listing except the colour word and the image files is shared between colourways. It is worth then stating how many houses now stand behind the finding, which is two, and it is worth then stating how many colourways, which is five. It is worth then stating what the run should do, which is stop treating a colourway as a separate specification problem and start treating it as a colour problem alone.
About three minutes, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying what the run has now collected. It is worth then stating what it measured one batch ago, which is that two colourways of another house were uploaded about a minute apart, and it is worth then stating what these two are, which is about three minutes apart. It is worth then stating what that gives, which is two timings from two houses, and it is worth then stating what the run has never done before last batch, which is measure anything about the shop's own work. It is worth then stating what it should do with two points, which is keep collecting and not generalise, and it is worth then stating the other thing it noticed, which is that the file names on this house start at one and not at zero, so the run's habit of reading the first file as the main image rests on a naming convention that is not universal.
Optional upgrades include the fibre share stated and summing to one hundred, the fibre named in a specification and not only in the prose, the micron count, the yarn count, the knit gauge as stitches per inch, the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the shoulder width, the sleeve and length measurement points, the neck width and rib depth, the cuff opening, the washing temperature as a number, the split between British and Irish yarn, the certifier for the sustainability claim, a size conversion, an unrounded grade with the grid stated, shrinkage figures for both length and width, a pilling grade tested after a stated number of cycles, colour fastness to washing, rubbing, light and perspiration tested on every colourway and published per colourway, merino and lambswool options, finer and coarser gauge options, further colourways developed to a named standard with a lab dip and a shade band, size set, private label and care labelling.
Pre-production sample approval, in-line inspection during cutting and sewing, and a final AQL inspection before packing, with measurement reports and photos shared before shipment.
