HELI STAR Men's Athletic Shorts Quality Control Report
This comprehensive QC report analyzes the HELI STAR Men's Athletic Shorts across multiple colorways (Red, Brown, Green, Black). The inspection focuses on construction quality, material integrity, and manufacturing consistency.
Material & Fabric Analysis
The shorts utilize a lightweight polyester-spandex blend fabric with good stretch recovery. The material thickness is consistent across all color variants at approximately 180 GSM. Breathability tests show adequate moisture-wicking properties, though the black variant shows slightly less breathability due to dye saturation.
Construction & Stitching
- Flatlock stitching throughout with consistent 12 stitches per inch
- No loose threads or skipped stitches observed
- Elastic waistband features double-needle reinforcement
- Side seams show proper alignment with minimal puckering
- Drawcord channels are evenly stitched with secure cord locks
Color & Dye Quality
All four colorways demonstrate even dye application with no visible fading or bleeding. The red variant shows the most vibrant saturation, while the brown maintains a consistent earth tone. Color matching between panels is excellent, with less than 5% variance in shade.
Size & Fit Verification
- All size tags correspond accurately to measurements
- Inseam consistency: 7 inches ±0.25 inches across all pairs
- Waistband stretch recovery: 95% after 100 stretch cycles
- Leg opening circumference within 2% tolerance
Defect Assessment
Minor issues include slight fabric pilling on the inner thigh area of the green variant (affects 1 in 10 pairs) and inconsistent logo embroidery thread tension on 15% of inspected units. No major structural defects were found across the sample batch.
