What goes in a tech pack for gloves?
The drawing, the materials and hardware, the finished measurements and the construction notes a specialist maker quotes from. Drop one photo of your gloves and get its technical flat, free with no account; the pattern itself is made by the maker, not drafted here.

Your photo is stored for 30 days, then deleted. It is used to make your image, and by the studio if you continue there. If you order a pattern from it, a copy is kept with your order.
On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.
Tech Pack for a gloves
A tech pack for gloves is the brief a specialist maker quotes from: the drawing, the materials, the measurements and how the piece is put together.
Measure a gloves you like and write its finished dimensions and hardware sizes into the pack; the maker builds the pattern from them.
Most gloves start from glove leather; cashmere knit is the less usual line on a bill of materials.
What you get
A technical flat of your gloves, drawn from one photo in black line on white, ready for the materials and measurements of your tech pack.
Step by step
- Photograph the gloves from the front, laid flat, in daylight.
- Get its technical flat from the flat sketch tool.
- Add the materials, trims and hardware, with their sizes.
- Send the pack to a specialist maker for a quote and a sample.
A common mistake
Sending a maker a picture with no measurements: the sample comes back in the size the maker guessed.
