Why Garment Businesses Lose Money Before Production | Fabric Sourcing, Supply Chain & Corduroy

Garment businesses don’t always lose money during production. Sometimes, the losses begin much earlier — during fabric sourcing. In this video, we explore how fabric delays, inconsistent quality, shade variation, stock shortages, poor communication, and unreliable suppliers can affect production planning, labour, buyer commitments, inventory, and overall profitability. We also look at why today's textile and apparel buyers are increasingly prioritising reliable supply, consistent quality, domestic manufacturing, professional communication, and long-term supplier relationships over simply finding the lowest fabric price. We discuss the growing opportunity for corduroy fabric across trousers, jackets, overshirts, kidswear, winter collections, and lifestyle apparel, along with the challenges businesses face when sourcing dependable fabric at scale.
