Dept. '17 Gallery Hoodie Quality Control Report
This detailed inspection covers the Dept. '17 Gallery Hoodie across all three available colorways. The hoodie represents a premium streetwear piece with specific design elements that require careful examination.
Materials and Construction
The primary fabric is a heavyweight cotton-blend fleece with a brushed interior for warmth and comfort. Check for consistent thickness across all panels, especially at seams where thinning can occur. The ribbed cuffs and waistband should maintain elasticity without excessive stretching or loose threads.
Design Elements
The "Gallery" embroidery on the chest is a critical focal point. Inspect for:
- Clean, consistent stitching without thread breaks
- Proper letter spacing and alignment
- Accurate thread color matching to the hoodie base
- No loose threads or puckering of the fabric beneath
The drawstrings should feature metal aglets with the Dept. branding, securely attached without sharp edges. The kangaroo pocket construction must be reinforced at stress points.
Sizing and Fit
Measure flat lay dimensions against the size chart provided by the seller. Pay particular attention to:
- Shoulder-to-shoulder measurement
- Sleeve length from shoulder seam to cuff
- Body length from highest shoulder point to hem
Oversized fits should maintain proportional dimensions rather than appearing simply enlarged.
Color and Dye
Examine all three color variants for consistent dye saturation without splotches or fading. The interior should match the exterior color tone. Check for color bleeding at seams, particularly where different materials meet.
Final Assessment
A quality Dept. '17 Gallery Hoodie will exhibit precise embroidery, substantial fabric weight, and clean construction throughout. Reject units with misaligned design elements, thin fabric patches, or inconsistent sizing measurements.
