Crabbing Wool Suit Cloth: Mill Setting Questions Before Sample Lock

Quick answer: Shi Yuan Suit Factory treats crabbing as a mill setting question—not a factory wet-finish service on acumenwear.com. The order path: the brand asks whether the piece was crabbed, Shi Yuan records the cloth on the brief, and the 7–14-day sample shows the named cloth before bulk from 50. Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) takes MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 per style for overseas tailor shops, MTM and private-label brands — send the cloth reference, the mill crabbing note, and MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.

What crabbing questions should a shop ask the mill before locking wool suit cloth?

A shop should ask whether the piece was crabbed as a pre-setting step and what permanent-set aim that step supports before locking cloth. Shi Yuan Suit Factory cuts brand-approved cloth, MTM from 1 or bulk from 50, and does not crab greige cloth for the brand.

Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) reads crabbing as mill pre-setting settled before the sample clock. The Woolwise notes Principles of Wool Fabric Finishing state that crabbing is a pre-setting process used to impart the required amount of permanent set in wool fabrics, that the fabric is flattened and held under tension, treated in boiling water, then cooled in a cold water bath, and that crabbing machines can be batch or continuous. A brand therefore asks the mill whether crabbing was applied to the named piece before bulk from 50 per style.

What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?

  • MTM — from 1 piece: one client cloth at a time; the shop can judge set behaviour on a single suit.
  • Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run; the sealed sample locks the same cloth setting rules.

How long do the sample and production take at Shi Yuan?

Shi Yuan Suit Factory quotes sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Mill setting notes should arrive before the cloth is locked for production.
