# Cuff Rib Recovery Stretch Test for Hoodie Apparel OEM (NA/EU)
What is cuff rib recovery stretch test for apparel OEM buyers?

When should cuff rib recovery stretch test be checked against the finished garment?
Check after sewing, pressing, decoration when relevant, and the approved garment wash—not only on greige fabric. Measure the first sample against the signed method, then after the wash recipe and drying method signed for bulk. If yarn, knitting, wash chemistry, softener, dryer setting, pattern, or decoration changes, repeat the gate before releasing the 1,000-piece style MOQ.
“Approve cuff recovery after wash; record stretch %, recovery %, rib lot, and buyer tolerance on the sample QA sheet.” — common buyer QA practice for OEM approval
