Unless you can buy 5,000 sq yrds, and wait 45 to 60 days to receive your shipment, you really have to be flexible and have multiple sources of small orders of what you need. The process of spreading and cutting takes two days. Packaging for shipment to the sewing plant takes another day. The cut fabric bundles reach the sewing plant after a day in transit. Additional parts of the garment, such as zippers and buttons, are known as trim.
Trim kits reach the sewing plant separately.
In the sewing step, the cut panels are stitched into a garment, and the trim is added. An inspection, for auditing purposes, is also part of the sewing step. The sewn garment goes through a finishing process that includes pressing and the attaching of a ticket. The garment is then inspected and folded. The garment is inspected to insure that the seams have the correct number of stitches per inch and for fit.
