You learn how a garment price is actually built, line by line, from the fabric consumption to the FOB you put in the email.
After this track you can
You can build a defensible cost sheet for a real style and know, for every line on it, where the number came from and what happens to your margin if it is wrong.

- 8.1Garment CostingPractitioner3 lessons · 1 h 30 minYou price one men's pique polo, 40,000 pieces, from the marker all the way to the FOB line in the quotation email.
- 8.2Sourcing Fabric and Trims: the Quotation, the Minimum and the ClockPractitioner3 lessons · 2 hTwo mills quote the same cloth for one 18,600-piece order, and the cheaper quotation costs USD 10,986 more. You turn both into one delivered cost per garment. You price a fourth colourway against the dye lot and the trim minimums that really govern it. And you find the lead time whose clock starts somewhere nobody looked.
- 8.3Incoterms, Payment and DocumentsPractitioner3 lessons · 2 hYou take one container of quilted gilets, quote it four ways, price it through seven payment terms, then read it against the letter of credit that pays for it. You see where your cost stops, where your risk really moves, what one day of waiting is worth, and the one line in a credit that turns a perfect set of documents into a refusal.
- 8.4Logistics and ShippingPractitioner3 lessons · 1 h 50 minOne parka order to Sweden missed the ship by two hours at a weighbridge. You read the cut-offs backwards into a factory plan. You see a carton height that cost a whole container. And you price every way out of a rolled booking against the order's own profit.
- 8.5Duties, Trade Agreements and OriginAdvanced3 lessons · 1 h 50 minYou follow one order of 24,000 hooded sweatshirts past the FOB to the buyer's landed cost. You build the customs value line by line. You find the tariff heading a fit comment moved. And you look at the mid-season fabric substitution that saved the factory USD 5,572.80 and cost the buyer USD 25,683.84 of duty.
- 8.6Material Requirement Planning and ProcurementPractitioner3 lessons · 2 h 20 minYou take one knitwear order, 18,000 zip hoodies in four colours, through a requirement run you do by hand: gross to net, lead time offsetting, minimums, and the shortage that arrives in week three of sewing.
