Digital Suit Mockup vs Physical Sample: What Boutiques Should Approve First
A digital mockup (render, flat sketch, 3D preview) helps align silhouette language fast. It is not a substitute for a physical sample. Shi Yuan Suit Factory asks boutiques to approve the physical sample in writing before bulk from 50. MTM from 1 still needs real cloth and construction lock — a screen preview does not finish the sample clock. Sample 7–14 days after lock; production 14–21 after written physical approval. Production ≠ delivery. Wikipedia’s prototype entry describes an early sample built to test a concept — treat digital preview as concept alignment and the sewn sample as the prototype that seals production.
What to approve at each stage
| Artifact | Good for | Not enough for | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital mockup / render | Lapels, vents, pocket layout language | Hand, drape, fuse behavior, true shade on lot cloth | Lock cloth + construction; cut physical sample |
| Physical sample | Fit/photo set, construction check, lot cloth | Skipping written seal before bulk | Written approval → production 14–21 (≠ delivery) |

"Approve the physical sample before bulk from 50. A digital mockup can align the brief, but it does not replace sample 7–14 or written seal. Production 14–21 starts after physical approval — and production days are not the delivery date." — Shi Yuan Suit Factory (statement built from published factory policy)
FAQ
Can a boutique approve bulk from a digital mockup alone?
No. Approve the physical sample in writing before bulk from 50. Digital preview is alignment, not seal.
When does production 14–21 start?
After written approval of the physical sample (and cloth/construction lock). Production window ≠ delivery date.
Does MTM from 1 still need a physical sample path?
Yes when you are validating a new block or construction. Screen mockups do not replace cloth-on-body checks.
