INTRODUCTION ABOUT GARMENT PRODUCTION ORDER
1.1. GARMENT PRODUCTION
Garment manufacturing includes number of processes from order receiving to
dispatching shipment of the finished garments. A process flow chart helps to
understand how raw materials are moved from one process to another process until
raw materials are transformed into the desired product (garments).
To be noted that a process flow chart made for the garment manufacturing processes
will vary based on manufacturing facility and product types. As some companies do
whole process in single plant when others do production jobs and other auxiliary
processes are outsourced.
Based on present apparel industry, garment manufacturing processes are categorized
as:
- Pre-Production Processes: includes sampling, sourcing of raw materials, Approvals,
PP meeting etc.
- Production processes: cutting, sewing, finishing etc.
- Post production processes: thread trimming, pressing, checking, folding and packing,
shipment inspection etc.
Instead of making a single process flow chart, I have made one chart for major
processes and two separate charts for cutting room processes and finishing processes
for detailed process chart.

3.2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR PANTS PRODUCTION
Writing Care Instructions
Labels for clothing must have a washing instruction or a drycleaning instruction. If the
item can be washed and drycleaned, the label needs only one of these instructions.
However, you may want to consider that consumers like having washing instructions
for items that can be washed. If you prefer, you can give instructions for both washing
and drycleaning.
Sometimes, because of the particular combination of components, a garment can
neither be safely washed nor drycleaned, but the manufacturer nevertheless wishes to
market it. The label on such a garment must say "Do not wash - Do not dryclean."
We recommend, but don't require, that the terms defined in the Rule's glossary be used
when applicable.
17
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
The care symbols from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
designated as ASTM Standard D5489-96c, Standard Guide for Care Symbols for Care
Instructions on Textile Products, may be used in place of words, but the symbols must
fulfill the requirements of the Rule. These symbols are also very similar but not
identical to the symbols designated as an international standard by the International
Standards Organization (ISO) that are used in many European countries. Only the
ASTM symbols have been approved for use in the United States. The system used in
Europe does not provide symbols for all the information required by the Care Labeling
Rule. The U.S. representatives to the ISO are working to add the necessary symbols to
the international standard and to harmonize the international standard with the ASTM
standard.
Washing Instructions: Five Elements
One: Washing by hand or by machine
The label must say whether the product should be washed by hand or machine. The
label also must give a water temperature setting if regular use of hot water will harm
the product.
Two: Bleaching
If all commercially available bleaches can be used on a regular basis without harming
the product, the label does not have to mention bleach.
If using chlorine bleach on a regular basis would harm the product, but using
non-chlorine bleach on a regular basis would not, the label must say, "Only
non-chlorine bleach, when needed."
If all commercially available bleaches would harm the product when used on a regular
basis, the label must say "No bleach" or "Do not bleach."
Three: Drying
The label must say whether the product should be dried by machine or some other
method. Unless regular use of high temperature will harm the product when machine
dried, it is not necessary to indicate a temperature setting.
Four: Ironing
Ironing information must be given on a care label if ironing will be needed on a
regular basis. If regular use of a hot iron will not harm a product, it is not necessary to
indicate a temperature setting.
18
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
Five: Warnings
If the consumer reasonably could be expected to use a care procedure that would harm
the product, the label must contain a warning like "Do not," "No," "Only," to warn
against the harmful procedure. For example, if a garment will be harmed by ironing,
even if ironing is not regularly needed, the label should state "Do not iron" if the
customer can be expected to "touch up" the garment occasionally.
If a care procedure on one product could cause harm to another product being washed
with it, a warning must be included. For example, if an item is not colorfast, the label
must say, "Wash with like colors" or "Wash separately."
Warnings are not necessary for alternative procedures that could be harmful. For
example, if the instructions state, "Dry flat," it's not necessary to state, "Do not tumble
dry."
Drycleaning Instructions
A simple "dryclean" instruction may be used under two conditions. First, if all
commercially available types of solvent can be used, the label doesn't have to mention
any particular type of solvent. If one or more solvents would harm the product,
however, a safe solvent must be mentioned. (For example, "Dryclean, petroleum
solvent.") Second, a simple "dryclean" may be used if the drycleaning process, as
defined in the Rule, can be used on the garment with no modifications. If any part of
the drycleaning process would harm the product, the "dryclean" instruction must
include a warning to avoid or modify that part of the process. "Do not," "No," "Only,"
or other clear wording must be used. For example, if steam would damage a garment,
the label should say, "Dryclean. No steam." In this situation, where a modification
must be made to the normal drycleaning process, you may, if you wish, say,
"Professionally dryclean. No steam." But "Professionally dryclean" should not be used
where there is no need to modify the normal drycleaning process, and it should only be
used with the instructions for modifying the process. (E.g., "Professionally dryclean.
No steam.") By itself, "Professionally dryclean" is not an adequate instruction.
Remember that "Dryclean Only" is a warning that the garment cannot be washed. For
any warning on the label, you must have evidence that the process warned against will
damage the garment. You may label garments "Dryclean Only," but only if you have
evidence that washing will damage the garment.

* Fabric
- Cotton Serge: The traditional denim is 100 percent cotton serge. Additionally, denim
is often blended with other fabrics.
- Raw Denim: Raw denim is dark, unwashed fabric that is stiff and very durable. It
fades with wear in certain areas, creating a natural distressed look. It also fades with
washing.
- Selvage Denim: The premium type of raw denim fabric is selvage denim, with tight
weaving and natural edges that will not unravel. Selvage denim is more expensive than
other raw denim.
- Stretch Denim: The blend closest to pure denim is called stretch denim, which usually
includes 2 or 3 percent Spandex material for a bit of give in the fabric.
- Poly-Denim: Poly-denim blends look like a dressier denim, and are more lightweight,
which makes them more convenient to wash and dry. They also are more resistant to
20
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
wrinkling.
- Ramie-Denim: Denim is also sometimes blended with the plant fiber ramie, which
reduces wrinkling and gives the fabric a softer feel.
- Bull Denim: A heavyweight cloth weave, weighing in at 14oz./sq yard or more.
- Broken twill: Designed by John Neil Walker in 1964 to reduce twist, often used by
Wrangler. Broken twill is a style of weaving where the weft thread is reversed after no
more than two passages of the warp to create a zigzag design obvious on the reverse of
the fabric. This design also creates a natural stretch.
- Left-hand twill (LHT): Also known as an “S twill”, this is a weave in which the grain
lines run from the top left-hand corner of the fabric to the right. Left-hand twills have a
natural soft hand.
- Ounce: All denim is weighed after weaving in ounces per square yard. Denim up until
the 1960s was often around 9 to 12 oz, but today we prefer 14 oz and above. The weight
of denim today can be a selling point; the heavier the denim, the more desirable.
- Pocket bags: Originally in the same quality as the exterior fabric of the trouser or in a
pillowcase ticking stripe or hickory, now more commonly lightweight twill.
- Right-hand twill (RHT): The standard practice in weaving twill, this weave produces
a diagonal line that runs from the top right to the bottom left.
* Trims:
- Zipper: A fastening device made using a strip of fabric with specially shaped metal or
plastic teeth attached which lock. In denim only a brass alloy should be used, as this is
the strongest of the metal alloys.
- Buckle: A buckle used to tighten the waistband on denim, before belts (and belt loops)
were commonplace. A renewed interest in vintage styles have ushered in a resurgence of
the the cinches on modern jeans.
- Rivet
21
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
Copper rivets for reinforcing pockets are a characteristic feature of blue jeans.
- Snap: It use on front waistband.
* Sewing Construction
- Chain Stitching: A sewing procedure that uses loop-like stitches which form a chain
pattern. Pulling the fabric at slightly different tensions on either side, it produces a
distinctive, twisted roping pattern at the hem.
- Bar tack: Made on one specialist machine; the bar tack is a stitch used to reinforce a
stress point. Placed at the most likely areas for stress like the belt loops, fly and pocket
apex. The machine runs right to left on the bobbin side and the top stitch is a zigzag up
and down.
- Flat Felled seam: A manufacturing process made on a specific machine which sews
two seams together by way or wrapping one over the other.
4.2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR JEANS PRODUCTION
Types of Finish/ Treatment
- ABRASION: Process of making garments look worn and aged by scraping or
rubbing the surface of the fabric causing abrasion. Pumice stones are most frequently
used by industrial laundries.
- ACID WASH (Marble/ Moon Wash/ Snow Wash): This finish gives indigo jeans
sharp contrasts. The process is achieved by soaking pumice stones in chlorine and
letting these stones create contrast. The process was created in Italy and patented in
1986.
- ATARI: Japanese term describing the selective fading of the ridges of creases. The
most common areas for ‘Atari’ are along side seams, on the front and back of the knees,
the upper thigh, along the hem, on belt loops and along pocket seams.
- ENZYME WASH: Considered a more efficient and environmentally sound way to
stonewash jeans. Rather than using pumice stones, organic enzymes (proteins) are used
that eat away at the indigo. Jeans finished using enzymes tend to be stronger than those
broken down by traditional stone washing, as the fabric is not subjected to the same
level of abuse.
22
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
- RIVER WASHING: A washing process using a combination of pumice stones and
cellulose enzymes to give denim a vintage, worn hand. The washer is loaded only with
stones and fabric for the first cycle. Enzymes are introduced for the second stage in
combination with the stones and they are tumbled until a naturally aged look is
produced.
- SANDBLASTING: A laundry process performed before washing in which jeans
are shot with guns of sand in order to abrade them and cause a worn appearance. While
originally done by hand this process is a now automated at most large laundry house.
- STONEWASHING: A process that physically removes colour and adds contrast. A
20 yard roll of fabric, generally 62 inches in width, is put into a 250-poundwashing
machine along with pumice stones. The fabric and stones are rotated together for a set
period of time. The washing time dictates the final colour of the fabric- the longer the
denim and stones are rotated the lighter the colour becomes and more contrast is
achieved. The denim is then rinsed, softened and tumble dried.
- WHISKERING: A fading of the ridges increases in the crotch area and back of the
knees, which gives the appearance of aged denim. It can also be inverse- dark creased in
faded denim.
- Shrinkage: The dyed indigo threads used in weaving denim are treated with starch,
which adds strength during the weaving process. When raw denim is washed for the first
time the starch is removed and the yarns constrict, causing the denim to shrink.
- Sanforized: A process that prevents shrinking by stretching and manipulating the
raw denim fabric before it's washed. Developed in the 1920s by the Sanforize Co. and
patented in 1928.
