Gallery Dept. Hoodies Quality Control Report
This comprehensive QC report analyzes the Gallery Dept. hoodies collection across multiple colors and designs. Gallery Dept. hoodies are known for their distressed aesthetic, oversized fits, and premium materials, making accurate replication challenging for manufacturers.
Materials and Construction
The primary fabric should be heavyweight French terry cotton with a soft, substantial hand feel. Check for proper weight (approximately 600-700gsm) and thickness. The interior should have a brushed fleece backing for warmth and comfort. Pay attention to the ribbed cuffs and hem - they should be tight and springy, not loose or flimsy.
Print and Embroidery Quality
Gallery Dept. pieces feature distinctive distressed graphics and embroidery. Inspect:
- Print clarity and color accuracy compared to retail references
- Distressing effects should appear natural, not overly uniform or artificial
- Embroidery density and thread quality - should be thick and raised
- Placement accuracy of all graphics and logos
Stitching and Details
Examine all stitching for consistency and durability. Key areas include:
- Hood construction and drawstring channels
- Side seams and shoulder seams
- Pocket attachment points
- Neck tag and care label stitching
The oversized fit should be consistent across sizes - measure pit-to-pit, shoulder width, and length against size charts. Zippers (if present) should operate smoothly, and all hardware should match retail specifications.
Common Flaws to Watch For
Be alert for: inconsistent distressing patterns, thin or lightweight materials, poor embroidery thread quality, inaccurate color matching, and incorrect sizing proportions. The wash tags and neck labels should match authentic Gallery Dept. formatting and information.
