You spot a hot fabric trend. You hunt suppliers. Quotes take weeks. Costs blindside you. A Denver denim brand waited 25 days for fabric prices last fall. They scrapped the line. Lost $52,000. I own Fumao Clothing in Shanghai. We source fabrics for US brands daily. Free estimates. Same day.
Yes, our clothing factory provides free fabric sourcing estimates. Send specs. We price mills and yards fast.
I partner with 20 mills. This guide shows how we do it. Let’s go.

How GSM Drives Yardage Price?

Why Quantity Locks Mill Rates?
