Made to your measurements · Cut in certified European ateliers
Wholegarment, explained.
Most knitwear is made like a shirt: panels knitted flat, then cut and sewn together. Ours is knitted as one piece, in one machine, in one go. That difference is the point of BAROC knitwear — here is what it actually means.
How a normal sweater is made
Conventional knitwear is produced in panels — front, back, two sleeves — which are cut to shape and joined on sewing machines. Every cut edge is waste (typically a meaningful share of the knitted fabric), and every seam is a mechanical joint: a place where the garment is stiffer than the fabric around it, and the first place it gives way.
How a whole-garment piece is made
A whole-garment knitting machine builds the entire garment in three dimensions — body and sleeves together, joined loop by loop as it knits. The piece comes off the machine finished in shape: nothing is cut, nothing is sewn together afterwards.
Why no seams matters on the body
Seams don't stretch the way knit fabric stretches. Remove them and the garment moves as one surface — no ridge on the shoulder, no tightness under the arm, no torque after washing where panels were joined at slightly different tensions. What is not sewn cannot come unsewn: the classic failure points of a sweater simply do not exist.
Why it enables made to measure
Because the machine knits the garment directly from a digital pattern, changing the measurements does not slow anything down — a one-off in your dimensions costs the machine the same effort as a standard size. That is what makes knitwear cut to your measurements economically honest at our prices, and why we can make each piece only after it is ordered.
Where ours is made
Our whole-garment pieces are knitted in Portugal from European-spun yarns, then hand-finished — collar linking, washing and pressing are still people's work. See the materials for the fibres we knit with.
