Custom Wetsuit
Does someone make a wetsuit by made-to-measure? I am making the custom wetsuits for surfers and can make basic patterning by CLO, but it's not accurate for made-to-measure for the wetsuit for surfing. So, does someone make the custom wetsuits by CLO and would you let me know how the auto grading system works for the custom wetsuit.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

gksuste Thank you for reaching out. "Custom" or made to measure would not have grading as it would be fit to a particular person's measurements. As for graded garments, you would need to discuss this with someone that makes wetsuits to see if their grading rules are specific to the product.
In both cases CLO can help you;- Avatars can be edited to a particular set of body measurements. See the Guide Here.
- CLO's grading tools are excellent. This video gives you a great overview.
Hope this helps!!

This is where you need to use industry (garment type) experience in the range of fabric materials (urethane's) and calibrate that along with seams jointing to your basic block and size grade rules. So either you have that experience or you need to acquire the technical input from a maker (unlikely to give you their commercial rules) for their product line. For some categories of specialist garments you can fit any basic pattern to bespoke human shape, but with that territory comes experience and knowledge (intimate) in how a range of materials, construction work all effect grading. So although basic grade tables can be acquired you will need to test some basic block premises in the fabric & construction at some point irrespective of a digital tables, on the house model(s) as that is where the rubber meets the road in actual physical calibration.
The digital shaping that is possible inside CLO3D then makes the task of rolling out custom patterns consistently a relative easy task, so I suggest you bank on the additional work and cost of having to construct a few basic blocks made up at a couple of critical size points (eg: standard size and then xtra large where pattern shape may radically change outside grade rules) and then fit them on house models and in performance (use) so that your inhouse grade tables follow the construction your brand will generally use.
I would make sure you factor in the cost of doing that most essential work. I have done wetsuits and you will not be able to avoid that aspect, as you are also very unlikely for makers to part with that costly body of knowledge information freely - it is therefore incumbent on you planning to do that essential block and grade table work that you can rely on for your fit range of customer base. That is life in the custom fit area - the currency in 1st hand knowledge and doing, so make sure you plan for that endpoint.
