The season to enjoy wearing knits has arrived. Knitwear, which envelopes you in slightly chilly weather, could be even more special if it's custom-made.

Haut tricot is a D2C knit brand that creates garments from scratch without the need for traditional sewing, using 'WholeGarment Technology'. This technology allows the company to cut out the supply chain, enabling custom-made orders to be completed within two weeks.

The apparel industry has become so segmented that many businesses rely solely on trading companies for production, resulting in a market flooded with OEM products that only differ in brand tags.
