The two main parts of the apparel business are manufacturing and distribution.

Most consumers understand that clothing manufacturers make clothing and clothing distributors sell clothing. This perception is correct, but it is not comprehensive.

If you would like to learn more about distributors and apparel manufacturers, please see the following brief overview.

Clothing Manufacturers

Clothing manufacturing companies are primarily responsible for making clothes. They work closely with designers, whether they are well-known designers or independent artists, and strive to turn their clothing designs into ready-to-wear garments. They buy the materials for the clothes, make the patterns, and cut and assemble the different parts needed to make the clothes.

They will use many types of materials, but more and more manufacturers are trying to use eco-friendly materials and environmentally sustainable practices in the manufacturing process. Here are two things to consider if you want to shop responsibly.

Manufacturers should strive to use natural or recycled materials wherever possible.

Avoid the use of many harmful substances such as chemicals.

Clothing Distributors

Distributors place orders with manufacturers and deliver those clothes to consumers. In rare cases, they sell directly to certain customers, but more commonly, they sell to retail stores where users shop.

Since they buy and sell small quantities of clothes in bulk, they can charge a higher price per item. Manufacturers try to choose reputable dealers because they want their products to be prominently located so that the clothes can be easily found and purchased. They also do not want the price of the clothing to be too high to maintain demand for that clothing.
