    About this series

    Controlling the quality of apparel manufacturing when producing in countries like Vietnam can make or break your brand. I explain basic quality control concepts, share practical advice and introduce you to quality control companies that can save your shirt. I cover concepts like AQL and the 4 point fabric inspection method which you need to understand when producing garments in a foreign sewing factory. I discuss fabric tests that companies like SGS or Intertek can do for you. I explain when to inspect during production and what to inspect on each garment. Since we live in the digital age, apparel brands have the option of using QC software like Pivot 88 or Inspectorio which I introduce you to. They can save you time by identifying problems in real-time and solving them within 24 hours.

      Where can you buy Eco fabric? What exactly is Eco fabric? Do the terms Eco and sustainable mean the same thing? I share my research about what is Eco and introduce you to Eco standards and certifying bodies that validate your supply chain. I introduce you to 46 sources of Eco fabrics who can ship the fabric to Vietnam, where I live, for garment production. I explain why most fabrics like cotton, bamboo, hemp, wool and silk are not 100% Eco. My journey started because many people ask me about sourcing Eco fabrics in Vietnam and I did not know what makes a fabric Eco and I did not know where to buy them. Now I know and I'd like to share my insider knowledge with you.
