Material source
Check composition, knit structure, weight, finish, source, availability, and documentation for the proposed fabric. Confirm local or regional origin rather than inferring it from supplier location.
Knitwear · Turkey
Evaluate a supplier against the knit structure, fabric source, assembly, finishing, quality, and delivery requirements of the actual t-shirt brief. Production and coordination scope are confirmed for the project.
Product construction
| Specification area | Buyer defines | Supplier confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Fiber, knit, weight, finish, color, and intended use. | Source, current availability, minimums, and supporting documents. |
| Neckline | Rib, binding, tape, stitch detail, and target opening. | Material and construction fit, with sample approval. |
| Shoulder and body | Reinforcement, side seam or tubular construction, and fit. | Equipment, process, appearance, and measurement checks. |
| Sleeve and hem | Hem type, stitch, width, and finish. | Execution against approved sample and POM tolerances. |
Select seam and stitch details for the fabric and intended use. Record Points of Measure (POM) and product-specific tolerances in the approved tech pack.
Fabric and finishing
Check composition, knit structure, weight, finish, source, availability, and documentation for the proposed fabric. Confirm local or regional origin rather than inferring it from supplier location.
Ask whether the required color and construction are available from stock. Custom yarn or fabric may have separate minimums, development costs, approval steps, and scheduling.
Agree the target shade, sample or lab dip, colorfastness or shrinkage tests, and acceptance criteria. For printing, embroidery, or garment wash, verify material compatibility and approve a sample.
Document care information, woven labels, hangtags, barcode, and carton needs. Confirm source, responsibility, and scope for each item.
Order-specific quality
No single test or inspection threshold applies to every t-shirt. Agree the method, sample plan, tolerance, and acceptance criteria before bulk production.
Define shade grouping and any wash, shrinkage, torque, or colorfastness test that matters to the product.
Review construction against the sample and compare measurements with the approved POMs and tolerances for each size. Specify any seam durability checks.
Check print registration, embroidery finish, label placement, packing, and other agreed details. Document defects, sampling method, inspector, and timing.
Supplier, trade, and delivery
Verify knit equipment, fabric sourcing, sewing setup, finishing, subcontracting, and current capacity. Review supplier and process handoffs against the order.
Minimums depend on style, material, decoration, and supplier. Confirm sample, production, and delivery estimates after readiness, approvals, and capacity are known.
Classification, origin, duty, and documents depend on product and destination. Confirm current treatment with customs or an adviser and request a route-specific carrier estimate.
Agree export documentation, delivery mode, named place or port, importer responsibilities, and the applicable Incoterm. FOB is for sea or inland-waterway transport only.
