What is Cut & Sew?
Cut and sew is a manufacturing process where garments are built completely from scratch using individual fabric pieces, rather than decorating pre-made blank apparel. Unlike screen printing or embroidery on ready-made shirts, cut and sew involves:
Pattern creation: Designing custom patterns tailored to your specifications
Fabric cutting: Precisely cutting fabric pieces according to your patterns
Assembly: Sewing all components together to create the finished garment
Finishing: Adding final touches like labels, trims, and quality control checks
Think of it as the difference between buying a house and building one from the ground up. With cut and sew, you're the architect of your apparel, controlling every detail from fabric selection to final construction.
Why Cut & Sew Matters for Brands
Tailored to Fit Your Story
Your brand has a unique story, and your apparel should reflect that narrative. Cut and sew manufacturing allows you to translate your brand's personality directly into fabric and form. Whether you're a sustainable outdoor brand requiring specific technical fabrics or a luxury streetwear label demanding unique silhouettes, cut and sew gives you the freedom to create garments that authentically represent your vision.
