Garment Production Editor
Hakan Şahin is Tekstil Rehberi's garment production editor. He writes guides on production from the pattern room to shipment, patterns and marker making, quality control (AQL), sampling and costing, and compares process steps and quality criteria with the relevant standards and industry sources.
The types of garment samples in the order they are made: proto, fit, size set and PP. What each sample is for, who sews and approves it, how many rounds to plan and how to put approval in writing.
How private label clothing works with Turkish factories: four production routes, why MOQ is never one number, who counts as the manufacturer when your label is on the product, and an eight-step process.
How to calculate T-shirt production cost: the cost lines, kilogram-based fabric use, waste, sewing and print costs, and a hypothetical worked example you can rerun with your own numbers.
How much fabric a garment needs depends on pattern area, fabric width and marker efficiency. The formula, T-shirt and shirt worked examples, shrinkage and waste allowances, and what to write into a CMT order.
The garment manufacturing process stage by stage: tech pack, pattern, sampling, cutting, sewing, pressing, packing and shipment, with each stage's output, control point and who does what at a contract factory.
How AQL inspection works in garments: sample size and accept/reject numbers by lot size, critical, major and minor defect classes, what the plan really guarantees, and what to write into the contract.
AQL (acceptance quality limit) is the quality-level value used to choose a sampling plan in acceptance sampling: instead of inspecting a whole lot, a random sample is drawn, and the lot is accepted or rejected according to the number of defective pieces found. The plans are in ISO 2859-1.
A garment marker is the layout plan that shows how the pattern pieces of a model are arranged on the fabric before cutting, so that they fit the fabric width with as little gap as possible. Turkish factories call it pastal, a word that also names the fabric plies spread on the cutting table, which English calls the lay.
A garment sample is a physical garment sewn before bulk production so that the buyer can approve its size, pattern, color or workmanship. Turkish suppliers call it numune, a word that also covers a fabric swatch, a lab dip or strike-off for color and print approval, and a laboratory test specimen.
A tech pack (Turkish: teknik föy) is a written product definition that gathers the information a factory needs to make a garment: technical drawing, measurement chart, bill of materials, construction details, and label and packing information. The brand or designer prepares it; the manufacturer quotes, samples and produces from it.
