How U.S. Brands Should Evaluate Apparel Sourcing Today
Before you sign a contract, define the outcomes you expect and how you will measure them. Start with total landed cost, not just FOB. Model air versus sea to protect your margin under realistic shipping windows and surcharges.
Assess five key criteria: cost, lead times, quality, compliance, and scalability. Score suppliers on each. Use that score to compare factories by product types and specialist lines.
Design-to-production services de-risk first orders. Full-service teams create tech packs, graded specs, BOMs, and pilot runs. Low MOQs—50 to 100 units per style—let you validate fit and color before scaling.
Require third-party inspections, AQL criteria, and verified social and environmental standards. Keep a US-based team to coordinate milestones, share photo/video checkpoints, and run factory visits.
Quick checklist to get started
- Define lead time bands for samples and bulk; courier samples when possible.
- Match factory specialization to your product and decoration method.
- Ask for a clear discovery brief, costed options, sample plan, and compliance pack.
- Let us manage production while you focus on sell-through—visit www.supplycloth.com to get started.
Apparel Sourcing: Bangladesh vs. China vs. Turkey—Head‑to‑Head Comparison
A clear, side‑by‑side view of cost, timelines, and factory capabilities helps you match production to product goals.
Costs and MOQs
Bangladesh typically offers the lowest entry costs and the smallest pilot quantities. Partners often accept 50–100 pieces per style so you can validate fit and trims before scaling.
Lead times and speed to market
We model air versus sea to protect launch windows. Samples via courier reach you fast; bulk air lands in ≈5 days and sea in about one month.
Quality and standards
We embed independent inspections with SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, or Dekra. Our on‑the‑ground team checks workmanship, measurements, and labeling to confirm specs.
Factory network depth
We place products with specialist factories for knits, wovens, and accessories. That ensures the right machines and line skills for tees, denim, and technical outerwear.
Transparency and risk protection
You engage directly with source‑verified partners through a clear paper trail. We manage CAPAs, corrective actions, and re‑inspections when issues arise.
- Fabrics and trims: We use stocked fabrics where possible and schedule dye/lab‑dip timelines for custom work.
- Logistics to your door: UPS, DHL, or FedEx for samples; coordinated forwarders for sea consolidations to balance cost and speed.
We handle the comparative analysis, factory vetting, and execution so you can focus on merchandising and sales. Connect with us at www.supplycloth.com.
Why Bangladesh Often Delivers the Best Value for U.S. Brands
Bangladesh delivers an exceptional cost‑to‑capability ratio that helps niche and growing brands move from concept to volume fast.
Competitive manufacturing for knits and wovens pairs modern machines with skilled operators. That makes core production repeatable and predictable.
Low minimums with room to scale
We pilot with 50–100 units so you can test fit and sell through. Then the same lines and approved materials scale to larger runs.
End‑to‑end services
We manage fabrics, trims, tech packs, and BOMs so factories execute cleanly. Printing, embroidery, and accessories are coordinated to reduce rework.
Verified quality and clear standards
“Source‑verified partners, independent inspections, and dated milestones protect your product and your brand.”
- Faster approvals with on‑the‑ground checkpoints and pre‑booked dyehouse slots.
- Logistics planned by air or sea to fit your cash cycle and calendar.
- A vetted network of suppliers and factories for a wide product range.
