Inside Machine — Garment Development

The Heavyweight Standard

Two Years in the Making




This did not begin as a collection.

It began as frustration.

Too many joggers felt good for a week and soft for a month. Knees stretched. Waistbands twisted. Fabric thinned. Shape disappeared.

We wanted something that would not change when the work got hard.

So we started again.


The first samples were wrong. Too light. Too forgiving. Comfortable but forgettable.

We increased the weight. Adjusted the taper. Tightened the cuff. Reinforced the seams. Changed it again.

Training became the test.

Session after session. Lift after lift. Wash after wash.

The fabric had to hold its line.


The Fabric

480gsm brushed cotton jersey.

Not chosen for marketing. Chosen for behaviour.

Heavier fabric moves differently. It falls with intention. It holds tension through the thigh. It resists the sag that shows up after heavy squats.

You feel the weight the moment you put it on. Not stiff. Not restrictive. Grounded.

Over time, cotton breaks in. It does not break down. The surface softens. The structure remains.



The Joggers

The joggers are the foundation.

Relaxed through the thigh so they move properly. Clean from knee to cuff so they hold their silhouette.

Reinforced stitching throughout. Zip pockets that do not distort the line. Garment dyed and pre-shrunk so what you buy is what you keep.

They were not designed for a drop. They were designed to stay.



The Hoodie

The hoodie follows the same rule.

480gsm brushed cotton. Relaxed oversized fit. Dropped shoulders for natural drape.

Built for training first. Then everything else.

Subtle branding. No excess. Garment dyed for a lived-in feel from day one.




This was never about releasing another jogger. It was about refusing to release one that wasn't right.

"We refused to release it until it met the standard."

Mark, Founder|

Not hype. Not rush. Not seasonal noise.
Just standard.
