  1. Source the Best Fabrics for Your Apparel Business

  2. An apparel business requires extensive planning and preparation before it can be launched. Starting with a solid foundation and utilising high-quality materials is one of the ways to set a company apart from the competition. The majority of apparel is made of fabric, which accounts for 60–70% of its cost. The look and feel of apparel are determined by the fabrics used to make it.

  3. One of the most important aspects for an apparel maker is fabric sourcing. An apparel manufacturer must carefully consider their fabric sourcing before even accepting orders. Finding a reliable fabric supplier is as crucial as sourcing the right fabric. Here we will take a look at the various types of fabrics and where you can source for your business.

  4. Choosing Between the Different Types of Fabric Before choosing the best fabrics to source for your business, it is necessary to determine the quality of the fabric. This includes the fabric construction and fabric content. Fabric construction means how the fabric is made. Knits and wovens are the two most popular construction methods. To generate the fabric used in knits, a single yarn is sort of braided together. 

  5. Many strands, referred to as weft and warp, that run from right to left and from top to bottom, respectively, are woven together to form woven fabrics. Fabric content refers to the fibre composition used to knit or weave fabric. Natural fabrics like Cotton, Silk, and Linen, regenerated fabrics like Rayon, and synthetic fabrics like Polyester are the most often used fibres. Let’s look at the benefits of selecting these fabrics for your apparel collection.

  6. Naturally woven or knitted cotton is one of the most comfortable fabrics to use for apparel. Even in high temperatures, the breathable fabric helps you stay cool. Because of its adaptability, durability, and affordability, cotton is the ideal fabric for apparel. One flaw is that, without the use of additional materials, it is prone to wrinkle.

  7. Silk, regarded as the most opulent natural fabric in the world, is a smooth, exquisite fabric option with a glistening appearance. Even in a hotter environment, silk clothing is pleasant due to its ability to absorb moisture. The little shrinking that silk materials experience is typical, and ironing may restore it.

  8. Linen is similar to cotton in terms of its characteristics. The advantages of cotton are present in linen in addition to the added elegance. Silky, cold, absorbent, and durable describe linen. Although it may be machine washed, it should be routinely ironed because it wrinkles easily. RAYON One of the most versatile textiles, rayon is renowned for its strength, smoothness, softness, and absorbency. It also has a calming, silky feel that is reminiscent of natural fibres.

  9. POLYESTER Polyester, a man-made synthetic fabric, comes with the characteristics of being durable, water and stain-resistant. The drawback with the fabric is that it is not breathable nor does it absorb fluids. However, it removes moisture.
