Custom wear testing, run at retail speed
A garment reveals itself over time — after the third wash, the long commute, the workout it wasn’t built for. We put your pieces on real bodies for real days and capture what a fitting room never could.
Fit and sizing, fabric hand, durability, and value perception, with photo and video evidence throughout. Know exactly why something works before it scales.
Turnkey, targeted, and fast
Three reasons apparel teams build testing into every cycle.
We handle recruitment, sizing logistics, and fulfillment. You watch results land in one dashboard.
60k+ Highlighters, 90% completion, rich photo and video. Target by size, fit preference, and category habits.
Catch a fit or fabric issue before the production run and cut time-to-insight by up to 50%.
