• 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 6070 of its cost. The look and
  feel of apparel are determined by the fabrics
  used to make it.

• 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.

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.

• 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. Lets look at the
  benefits of selecting these fabrics for your
  apparel collection.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
