Technical Aspects
TOWARDS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN GARMENT CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS ON TECHNICAL ASPECTS

Contractors in the garment industry are frequently faced with poor manufacturing results, bad quality, lags in delivery, and, generally speaking, too many misunderstandings with subcontractors.
Why do these misunderstanding and quality problems appear in the textile and garment chain ?

One of the main reasons is that contractors and subcontractors, worldwide, are used to contracting by phone. There is no written document specifying precisely the requirements of the two parties, what they really expect from each other.

The present website offers an answer to this problem : we propose that every company, designer, distributor, Mail Order Company, use a standardised tool in order to improve technical aspects and quality when subcontracting the manufacturing of the garments they have designed.

 

THE TECHNICAL LEAFLET

We therefore recommend the use of the technical leafllet developed by the French Garment and Textile Institute (Institut Français du textile et de l'Habillement).

IFTH, inherited from CETIH (Centre Technique des Industries de l'Habillement) a computerized method which automatically produces all the technical data and drawings of a piece of garment.

To have a look at the technical leaflet for the manufacturing of a shirt please click on this link : shirt.pdf

 

To get further information on the computerized technical leaflet, you can call the garment branch of IFTH in Cholet + 33 241495 270, fax to +33 241 495 259 or mail to : cholet@ifth.org
