MAKEWELL guides
Practical, factory-side advice on starting a clothing line, tech packs, sampling, minimums, costs, artwork and merch, written by the team that produces garments for growing brands every week.
Unit price is only part of the story. How domestic and overseas production compare on minimums, speed, communication, quality control and the costs that do not show up on a quote.
Zippers, buttons, snaps, drawcords, elastic and branded hardware: how to choose trims that look premium, last, and keep your costs under control.
Garments, fabrics, logo placement, collecting sizes and planning reorders: everything you need to order uniforms your staff or team will actually like wearing.
How an original garment is actually made: from tech pack and pattern to marker, cutting, sewing, finishing and inspection, and when cut and sew is worth it.
Performance fabrics, compression and fit, flatlock seams and sweat-proof decoration: what to get right when you launch a gym, yoga or running apparel line.
Identity, fits, heavyweight fabrics, decoration and drop strategy: a practical playbook for launching a streetwear label that people actually line up for.
Stitched texture or bold ink? How embroidery and screen printing compare on look, durability, cost and garment type, and which one suits your logo.
From the first idea to your first production run: the ten steps every new clothing brand goes through, what each one costs in time, and the mistakes that slow founders down.
Where to look, how to shortlist, what to ask on the first call and the warning signs that a factory is not the right fit for your brand.
