Full-package garment manufacturing

A nine-stage process, run end to end under one roof

We operate as a vertical partner for denim and non-denim apparel: pattern, sampling, fabric and trim sourcing, dyeing and finishing, cutting, sewing, QC, packing and export shipping, all through a single account team.

The workflow runs on two rhythms: a sampling loop in weeks and a bulk window in days, so brands plan drops against clear lead times.

In-house, IstanbulPattern, sampling, cutting, sewing, QC and packing are coordinated from our Halkali facility.

Capability snapshot

Volumes, timings and what we actually run

Realistic capacity indicators for planning. Exact commitments are confirmed per order based on fabric availability, construction complexity and finishing route.

Annual capacity
Mid six-figure units

Shared across denim and non-denim categories; monthly throughput varies with construction and wash complexity.

Typical MOQ
600 to 1,200 pcs / style

Lower MOQs considered for repeat programs and within existing fabric runs; higher MOQs on dedicated dye lots.

Sampling window
2 to 4 weeks

From received tech pack to approved fit sample, depending on fabric lead time and the number of revision rounds.

Bulk production
45 to 75 days

From fabric in-house to ex-works, assuming a standard wash package. Heavy laundry or embroidery routes add time.

Product categories
Denim, woven bottoms, shirts, outerwear

Men's, women's and unisex programs. Knitwear is sourced through vetted partner mills.

QC inspection level
AQL 2.5 / 4.0

Standard dual-level inspection for major and minor defects, with tighter AQL available on request.

Step by step

Nine stages from brief to ex-works

Each stage hands off to the next through documented checkpoints, so technical comments from one phase never get lost on the way to the next.

  1. Design review and tech pack

    Design review and tech pack

    We start from your tech pack and style guide, or build one with you if the brief is at concept stage.

    Our product development team works through the measurement table, construction notes, wash standards and trim BOM. We flag open questions before costing so surprises don't appear in sampling.

    Typical window3 to 7 working days

  2. Yarn and fabric sourcing

    Yarn and fabric sourcing

    Fabric is selected from our approved mill panel or developed to a specified weight, composition and hand feel.

    We work with mills across Turkey and Europe for denim, twill, poplin and performance wovens. For repeat programs we can hold fabric stock to shorten downstream lead times.

    Typical window2 to 6 weeks fabric lead

  3. Knitting and weaving coordination

    Knitting and weaving coordination

    For developed fabrics, we coordinate greige production and handle lab dips, hand looms and strike-off approvals.

    Weaving partners are selected based on loom type, fibre composition and finish requirements. Every lot is inspected to 4-point before it enters our cutting room.

    Typical windowInline with fabric lead

  4. Dyeing, washing and finishing

    Dyeing, washing and finishing

    Dyeing, garment washing and finishing are routed through vetted partner laundries with documented recipes.

    Standards include rinse, enzyme, bleach, tint, resin and laser work. Recipes are locked against approved wash standards, and shade bands are checked against the original approval under D65 lighting.

    Typical window5 to 15 days per route

  5. Cutting

    Cutting

    Markers are made from graded patterns and cut on automated spreader and cutter lines.

    Fabric shrinkage is accounted for in the marker, and shade-banded rolls are kept together through cutting to avoid side-to-side and front-to-back shade variation in finished garments.

    Typical window2 to 4 days per lot

  6. Sewing

    Sewing

    Sewing runs on dedicated denim and non-denim lines with machinery matched to construction type.

    Operators are cross-trained across main operations, which lets us rebalance lines when a program shifts from a lighter to a heavier construction mid-season.

    Typical window15 to 35 days bulk run

  7. Quality control

    Quality control

    Inline checks at cutting, sewing and finishing, followed by a final random inspection at AQL 2.5 / 4.0.

    QC covers measurement, construction, wash consistency, labelling and trim functionality. Defect logs are reviewed weekly with the line supervisors so recurring issues are engineered out, not just reworked.

    Typical windowParallel to production

  8. Pressing, packing and labelling

    Pressing, packing and labelling

    Garments are pressed, folded, polybagged and cartoned per the retailer packing manual.

    We handle size-colour ratio packing, price tickets, security labels and carton markings. Master and inner carton weights are measured and logged for the packing list.

    Typical window3 to 7 days

  9. Export documentation and shipping

    Export documentation and shipping

    We prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and work with your nominated forwarder.

    Shipments go ex-works, FCA or FOB Istanbul depending on the program. For air freight lanes we coordinate pre-alert documentation to reduce transit time at destination customs.

    Typical window2 to 4 days to ex-works

Lead times and MOQ

Planning windows you can build a season around

Figures below are realistic planning ranges, not guarantees. Final commitments are confirmed in the order confirmation after fabric and finishing routes are locked.

Sampling

Proto sample
10 to 14 days from tech pack
Fit sample
7 to 10 days per revision round
Pre-production (PP) sample
10 to 15 days on bulk fabric

Bulk production

Standard wash package
45 to 60 days from fabric in-house
Heavy laundry or laser
60 to 75 days from fabric in-house
Repeat order, fabric on hand
30 to 45 days from PO

Minimum order quantities

Per style, per colour
600 pcs typical, 300 pcs on repeat
Dedicated dye lot
1,200 pcs per colour
Development and samples
No minimum at the sampling stage

Lead times assume fabric availability, timely approvals at proto, fit and PP stages, and no major revision after pre-production. We flag risk to the critical path in writing as soon as it appears.

Quality and documentation

How we keep quality consistent between orders

Quality is managed as three linked workstreams: what happens on the floor, what happens at final, and what is handed over in the shipping file.

Inline inspection

QC walks the cutting, sewing and finishing floors on a scheduled cycle. Measurements are checked against the graded spec at the start of each size break, and shade banding is verified after every roll change.

Final random inspection

Cartoned goods are inspected at AQL 2.5 for majors and AQL 4.0 for minors as standard. Tighter levels, third-party inspection and client-led audits can be arranged before shipment.

Shipping file and traceability

Each order ships with a packing list, measurement report, wash standard reference and carton markings. Fabric and trim sources are kept on record so claims can be traced back through the chain.
