2.0 REQUIREMENTS
3.2
Four Point System
Fabric should be inspected in accordance with ASTM D5430
Standard Test Methods for Visually Inspecting and Grading
Fabrics (Option A 4 Point System). No more than 4 points shall
be assigned per each linear yard (or meter), regardless of the
size of the individual defects. 4 point defects should be marked
with colored threads or stickers. See Table 1 for point
assignments. Fabric should be inspected at a speed comfortable
to the inspector and according to the fabric quality.

Over 3, but less than 6

Color Continuity
The JCPenney Global Color Group has a specific process in place
to capture color inspiration, convert it to a specification, and
work with the supply chain to assure that production is executed
as it was envisioned by the designer. The method of evaluation
will determine the standard to follow for production (See Table 2).
Please refer to JCPenneys Color Development and Approval
Process Overview, available on the supplier website, for details.

3.4
Weight
Check weight on minimum 10% of the rolls chosen for
inspection against ASTM D3776-09ae1 Option C.
Weight should correspond to weight stated on Fabric
Information Sheet.
If the fabric weight is out of tolerance (see Table 3), the
roll has failed.

<5 oz./yd.2 (169.6

3.5
Construction
Check threads/sq. in. or courses/wales on 5 random pieces. If the
average count is out of tolerance (+/- 5%), the roll has failed.
3.6
Cuttable Width
Measure the cuttable width (between needle holes at selvages)
at least 3 times on the roll at beginning, middle and end. If the
cuttable width is below the minimum width, the roll is failed.
3.7
Roll Length
Roll length minimum requirements should be agreed upon
between the garment supplier and fabric mill.
Roll length stated on the roll ticket must be verified
against the actual roll length measured by the fabric
checking machine.
If the deviation is 1% less, length should be double
checked on a cutting table.
3.8
Splices/Joints
Minimum splice length is 30 yds.
Splice location must be noted on the individual roll
inspection report.
4 penalty points will be assigned for each splice/join. No
roll is allowed to contain more than 2 splice/join.
3.9
3.10
Fabric Odor
Roll that emits an unpleasant odor, has failed.
Bowing/Skewing
Check fabric for bowing or skewing
Bow a fabric condition resulting when filling yarns or
knitting courses are displaced from a line perpendicular
to the selvages and form one or more arcs across the
width of fabric. (ASTM D3990)

Exception:
Skewing is a characteristic for woven twill/satin
constructions and for knits. In some cases the bowing or
skewing may be addressed in cut and sew. The level of
skew must therefore be agreed on between the
supplier and fabric mill up front and stated on the
Fabric Information Sheet.
