Fabric University

Global sourcing and the pressures to reduce the development cycle from concept to consumer have resulted in an increasing trend of garments that don’t meet the Retailer & Brand performance and fastness specifications. As a result of the time pressure, many garments are accepted that fall outside the performance and quality criteria.

How can you prevent issues from happening in the product development stage? How can you understand the limitations of the fabric from the perspective of fiber selection, sustainability, dyeing and finishing?
