Where traditional patternmaking apprenticeship meets the precision of modern CAD.
Superior Pattern Services was founded in 1992 by David Triebwasser and his father Jeff, blending deep apparel industry knowledge with an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship. Backed by four generations of patternmaking expertise, the company has grown alongside the industry—adopting digital technology while preserving the foundational principles of traditional construction.
Today, we operate with a 100% digital workflow on Gerber AccuMark, but every pattern is still informed by the hands-on instincts passed down through generations of master patternmakers.
David learned patternmaking the traditional way—through apprenticeship with his father, mastering the conventional techniques that still anchor the craft. As the industry modernized, he transitioned fluidly to CAD-based systems while never losing the foundational skills that distinguish a great pattern from a good one.
Over a 35-year career, David spent nearly a decade as a sourcing and production manager for major brands including GAP and Tommy Hilfiger. That retail background shapes how he works with every client today: he brings practical, production-minded thinking to every pattern, every grade, and every marker.
