Fabric width and cutting yield: why 150cm vs 145cm matters
Why comparing fabric on price per metre alone can mislead you, how width drives marker efficiency, standard suiting widths, and what to specify when you order.
Des notes concrètes rédigées par ceux qui achètent le tissu : comment il est fabriqué à Keqiao, ce que signifient les certifications, et comment lire une fiche technique avant de commander.
Why comparing fabric on price per metre alone can mislead you, how width drives marker efficiency, standard suiting widths, and what to specify when you order.
The payment structures you'll actually encounter sourcing fabric from China — deposit/balance splits, letters of credit, cancellation terms, and a practical starting point for a first order.
How mills and buyers score fabric defects with a standardized point system, what counts as a defect, and the PPHSM threshold that separates first quality from seconds.
Factory direct vs. a sourcing partner, compared: MOQ economics, coordinating a fragmented mill cluster, sampling, export logistics, and independent inspection.
What MOQ means and why mills set one, in-stock vs made-to-order lead times, why sampling first matters, and how EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP split cost and risk.
What we check before a fabric ships, and what to ask for yourself: colour fastness, four-point defect grading, weight and width tolerance, and shade consistency across a lot.
Poly-rayon vs. wool suiting compared for buyers: fibre composition, hand and drape, climate fit, durability, care, cost, and availability.
What piece-dyed and yarn-dyed actually mean, how each is made, and which one to specify for solid colors or woven-in patterns.
What GSM means, the right weight for trousers, jackets, and year-round suiting, and why weight alone never tells the whole story.
What the certificate tests for, what the product classes mean, and how to verify a certificate is genuine before you order.
From yarn to finished roll: warping, weaving, dyeing, and finishing, and the points where fabric quality is decided.
