Each piece of workwear is tested in every way possible before it is released for sale.

Recommendations from users and industries
Users from a wide range of industries are invited by MASCOT to join a discussion. Participants are chosen to represent several age groups and job functions. By doing so, new requirements and trends among users are identified, and this information is used in the next phase during the conceptualisation of new products.

Materials are tested in actual work situations
Test garments are sewn up further on in the development stage. As an example, this can be a pair of trousers with one type of fabric used on one leg and another type of fabric used on the other leg. The members of our test team use the test garment for a period of time, after which exhaustive interviews are conducted to discuss the users' experience with the fabric and its properties.

Function and fit tested on the job
Once the fabric is chosen, function and fit is then tested. New products are sewn up and the members of our test team undertake a new round of tests where the garments are used in their everyday work. A journal is kept during the test period while the garments are subjected to normal wear and tear, as well as regular wash. Hereafter, recommendations for changes and adjustments are reported back to MASCOT who will then interpret the feedbacks from the users. It is only when all adjustments are undertaken that the final design can be put into production. This way, MASCOT ensures that products are TESTED TO WORK before they are put out for sale. 

MASCOT's test panel

MASCOT's test panel is chosen with great care as commitment and professionalism are absolute requirements. In order to ensure this, panel members are screened through intensive interviews. MASCOT seeks critical, realistic and committed employees from both small and large companies representing different industries and different age groups.
