Glossary entries

  • CMT (cut, make, trim) is a garment contract-manufacturing model in which the buyer supplies the fabric and the factory cuts, sews and finishes the garments, charging a processing fee rather than a product price. Who supplies the trims (zippers, buttons, labels) must be written into the quote, because sources read the “T” differently.

  • Fason is the Turkish trade term for work that a company places with another firm while supplying the materials itself, either for a whole product or for one stage such as cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery or washing. In garments, cutting and sewing from buyer-supplied fabric is CMT (cut, make, trim).
