STEP 2: SPEC SHEETS AND QUOTES
The first item the manufacturer will need from you will be to provide them with are spec sheets. Spec sheets are the full design details including measurements, fabrics, printing techniques, and supporting images for the garments you want produced. It is best to provide the most amount of detail and information possible. Below is an simple example of the spec sheets we use. Click here to download your own copy to get you started.

In addition to spec sheets, some manufacturers may want tech pack. Tech packs are the all encompassing designs including full detailed measurements, lining details, button and zipper customisation if required, woven labels, swing tags, packaging, etc. A great site to create this is Tech Packer. Here you will be able to create your own tech packs as well as share it directly with the manufacturer and suppliers. It is free to register and has already received support from Sylvia Lam from Billabong and William Mera from Victoria Secret Pink. Its a great tool to get you started - check it out!
Based on your spec sheets, manufacturers should be able to provide you with production cost quotes. However, it is sometimes difficult to gauge the true fabric usage and time to produce 1 piece. For example: when making board shorts; you might be making very similar pairs in the same fabrics but depending on the fabrics usages, complexity of design, amount of pattern pieces and cuts needed, this will impact your cost. Some manufacturers may produce the sample first and then bill you for payment. The drawback to this is the possibility of being surprised with a cost you were not expecting but already obligated to pay.
Once you get the quotes from the manufacturer, you will want to negotiate with them to see if you are able to bring the costs down. When you are happy with the production cost, only then should you proceed into the clothing manufacturing process. Be prepared with a realistic budget in place!
STEP 3: SOURCING ALL MATERIALS, FABRICS, AND ACCESSORIES
Sourcing materials and fabrics can be a daunting process. There are so many different types of fabrics to choose from; where do you begin. The best start is to have an idea of some material and fabrics you might want to work with before you go into the suppliers. Once you are there, they would be able to give you some guidance as to what might be the best fabrics based on the designs and direction you are going for. If you go in without direction, you will be lost in a sea of linen and lace and viscose and rayon and cotton and modal and nylon and it keeps going!
Some widely used fabric will come in a variety of pre-dyed colours. If the fabric does not come in the colour you want; which quite often happens, it will need to be dyed to the colour you choose based on the pantone codes you provide. This has an MOQ of approximately 50 to 100m depending on

If you are looking for printed fabrics, sometime the design you like will be available but not in the material you want. In this case, the supplier should be able to help you in providing printing services in house or know of a company that can screen or digitally print fabric out house. Keep in mind, when printing fabrics (or dying them) there are MOQs for this; be prepared to produce at least 50m+ in most cases. (50m of printed fabric will produce about 45-50 t-shirts).
Alternatively, rather than buying fabrics that might not be exactly what you need nor be the print you want, manufacturing the textile right from the factories might be the option for you. Indonesia is one of the worlds largest textile producers and as such is a great source to make not only your own prints but your own fabric weaves as well. There are a number of textile producers in West Java as well as Jakarta - keep in mind again, the MOQ for this would be about 3000kgs (depending on the gsm - grams per square metre - of the fabric this might equate to abut 3500m)
If your garments require accessories such as zippers, fasteners, or buttons, the manufacturer should b able to help you with this. However, a good place to start is at YKK - they are the worlds leader in zippers, snaps, buttons and hooks. You can download the catalogue of all their product from their website.
If additional hard ware is required; like the Michael Kors name plate or customised buckle, this might be more difficult to source. These types of items are sometimes made by jewellers as wax moulds or die cuts need to be made. Again, however, ask your manufacturer as they may be able to point you in the right direction to connect you to the right people.

Answer:
The fabric usually used in the clothes we wear is produced through two processes: the "spinning process," where raw cotton is turned into thread, and the "weaving process," where the thread is woven into fabric.
