Discussing Job Work with Customer-Supplied Fabric
Prepare fabric information before asking whether your material can be used for a garment job-work order.
Describe what you have
State the fabric type as described by your supplier, available quantity, usable width and any finish or directional pattern. Share a reference image where helpful. Do not treat a fabric trade name as proof of fibre content or a tested performance claim.
Agree the scope
Ask which production stages are included in the proposed work and which inputs you must supply. Discuss trims, cutting assumptions, material handling and how unused material would be treated. Customer-supplied fabric acceptance and these arrangements require order-specific confirmation.
Avoid a fixed consumption assumption
Fabric use can depend on width, garment measurements, pattern and size mix. Ask for consumption requirements after the design and quantities are reviewed. Confirm the material handover process before sending fabric; an online enquiry is not an approval to ship material.
