To make a good piece of clothing, the details are incredibly important. I believe sharing this knowledge is a meaningful act. It allows me to reflect and summarize my work, and the continuous feedback I receive boosts my confidence for future tasks. I’m committed to maintaining high quality standards.
Here’s a suit we produced as an example. I want to highlight some key communication points for those in the apparel industry. Fine craftsmanship comes from slow, meticulous work. Only by focusing on every detail can we produce high-quality clothing.
Professional Terminology:
A diagram explaining the professional terminology of a suit makes it easier for anyone to understand the expertise involved in a garment factory’s craftsmanship. Come take a look!
Suit Buttons:
1. The position of the front center button must be appropriate, coordinating well with the buttonhole. The button should be firmly attached to prevent falling off.
2. Each sleeve should have four buttons in a straight line. The button density should be consistent, and the buttonholes should also align.
Pocket Flaps:
1. The pocket flaps on a suit jacket are crucial decorative elements.
2. This suit has a chest pocket and side pockets. The flaps and pocket covers must lay flat, be symmetrical, and not rounded.
3. Pocket flaps are a true test of craftsmanship, requiring more time and a more complex process.
Internal Bone Tape:
1. Internal bone tape is vital for a high-quality suit.
2. This suit has bone tape throughout the inner back part. The tape should be of high-quality fabric, durable, smooth, straight, and well-fitted for comfort.
How to Inspect a Suit’s Craftsmanship:
1. The suit jacket’s construction must be exquisite.
2. The back panel should be well-made, with even stitching and no breaks. It should be the right size for comfort.
3. The collar’s craftsmanship is crucial. It must be smooth, not curled or rounded.

Pattern Making Tips:
☑️ Confirm the bulk price before making the pattern. We always quote our clients before pattern making, confirming the fabric, size, and details to ensure the final product meets their expectations.
☑️ Confirm the delivery time before pattern making. Factories have multiple clients and can’t always prioritize every pattern immediately. Rush orders can be moved up, but constant rush orders can be overwhelming.
☑️ Agree on the pattern fee beforehand to avoid mid-process charges and potential disagreements. New collaborations often require a pattern fee, as not all patterns result in production orders. Pattern making involves fabric and accessory costs, as well as wages for pattern makers and seamstresses. Factories also have expenses.
☑️ If possible, visit the factory first. I believe in long-term collaborations rather than frequently changing factories, as it involves high costs and time for adjustments. It’s better to visit, discuss face-to-face, and ensure all concerns are addressed from pattern making to bulk production.
