How to choose fabrics in garment production?

Fabrics used in garment manufacturing can be divided into two categories: attributes and characteristics. The attributes are static physical dimensions, such as yards per pound. Rather, their characteristic is the reaction of the fabric when a force is applied. Elongation, elasticity, shrinkage and seam strength are examples of features. These are measures of response to dynamic conditions. A characteristic is a physical or chemical change caused by an external force acting on the fabric.

General considerations for clothing fabrics

Clothing manufacturers are primarily interested in the properties of fabrics. Although fabric characteristics are related to fabric characteristics, fabric characteristics are not meaningful to garment production unless it controls fabric characteristics or cost factors that are important to it, or unless the characteristics themselves (such as thickness or weight) have a clear purpose or style value, otherwise the garment manufacturer is not interested in the characteristics of the fabric. There are three views on the choice of fabric

* Consumer's point of view

* The view of the fabric manufacturer

* Apparel manufacturer's perspective

The interest of consumers is only in the appearance and abrasion resistance of the fabric. Durability, practicality and style value, garment manufacturers are interested in the working characteristics of fabrics in garment production (ie, the cost of fabrics to produce a given garment). If the clothing manufacturer is a wholesaler or manufacturer who sells clothing directly or indirectly to consumers, then he will also be interested in all consumer values. If the clothing manufacturer is a contractor, then his interest lies only in the cost of production of the characteristics of the work. The same goes for fabric manufacturers. If he produces cloth for the manufacture of clothing, he must take into account the characteristics of the work of clothing production. However, if the fabric manufacturer produces a non-retail fabric, it is not necessary to consider whether its performance characteristics are sufficient to produce a garment with industrial equipment and methods.
