Denim and Jeans: the Garment is Finished After It is Sewn
You take the category where the sewing line does not make the product. You follow one jeans order through the six places a technique learned on knitted tops quietly fails: the approval order, the post-wash spec, the size set, the cloth-against-recipe trade, the laundry's minimums, and the defects that are the product.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can cost, plan, and inspect a garment by the rules of its own category, and recognise when a technique you learned on one product will quietly fail on another.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a denim order file. You set an approval sequence saying what each approval is valid for. You build a per-point cut-to spec from a sewn-garment wash trial. You write a size-set protocol that survives a bulk load. You carry a cloth-against-recipe decision to a margin and a machine-hour count. You plan laundry capacity and name the binding constraint. And you write a one-page inspection annex.
