Positioning

We bridge the gap between an idea and a garment that can be made.

01

Technical accuracy

Industry-standard documentation that prevents costly production errors and wasted resources.

02

Built by hand

Three years of BA fashion study at Fedisa — every stage from concept development to production done by our own hands.

03

For new brands

Support for the growing number of individuals and independent brands entering fashion without formal training.

About

A strict team of two.

SpecHaus is a production development assistant specialising in technical fashion services. Precise, absorbent to new technology, and involved in every piece of outgoing work.

We work with contract workers around the world to create working opportunities in struggling economies.

Services — two, precisely

Digital Techpacks

A techpack is the document a factory actually builds from. Ours moves in five stages, each one adding another layer of information until the garment is unambiguous.

  1. 01

    Looksheet

    A first glance at the product — final colourways, fabric appliqués and general hardware. Hand generated unless imagery is provided.

  2. 02

    Flat technical drawing

    An analytical breakdown of the self layer of the garment, front, back and side views.

    Expanded layers

    Inner parts of the garment — linings, facings, fusings and any inner support structures.
