What is your ides about cotton? What are different types of cotton?
Cotton: Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, India, and Pakistan. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today.
Cotton is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant. Cotton is one of the oldest fibers under human cultivation, with traces of cotton over 7,000 years old recovered from archaeological sites. Cotton is also one of the most used natural fibers in existence today, with consumers from all classes and nations wearing and using cotton in a variety of applications. Thousands of acres globally are devoted to the production of cotton, whether it be new world cotton, with longer, smoother fibers, or the shorter and coarser old world varieties. Types of Cotton: There are five types of cotton, which are cultivated on commercial basis around the world. These include the . Egyptian cotton. Sea Island cotton.
BASIC QUESTIONS
VIII
American Prima cotton. Asiatic cotton and American Upland cotton. Each of these types has been brief about in the following description. Know more on the history of cotton. Egyptian Cotton As the name suggests, this fine, lustrous cotton has long and thinner fibers. This cotton fiber is light brown in color and is ideal for making strong yarns. This is the reason why it is one of the most popular types of cotton used for bed sheets, cushion covers, etc. Sea Island Cotton Sea Island Cotton happens to be a 'pricey affair' for its growth and processing in the world of cottons. Its long staple and silky texture make it to be used in the finest cotton counts and mixed with silk. So, whenever you notice the label of 'sea island cotton' on shirt, know that the piece might get a little heavy on your pockets. Get some tips on how to grow cotton. Pima Cotton The pima cotton belongs to the ELS (extra long staple) types of cotton and is popular for its long, smooth fibers. It has a quality that is comparable to that of the Egyptian cotton. The strength, softness, durability and absorbency of the Pima cotton make it one of the popular and finest types of cotton for clothing, towels and sheets. Asiatic Cotton India, China and the near east are the places, which are the growers of this kind of cotton. It has coarse and harsh fibers and thus, is suitable for manufacturing products like blankets, filters, coarse clothes, padding materials and the like. American Upland Cotton One of the most commonly used types of cotton is the American Upland cotton. It is less expensive and of a basic quality, and is also used to make several types of fabrics. The versatility of the cotton makes it usable for manufacturing expensive shirts and denim. Other Types of Cotton Canton Cotton Bamboo Cotton Cotton Twill French Terry Cotton Honey Comb Cotton Oxford Chambray Cotton

Types of Cotton Fabric Knitted Cotton Fabric - Generally, knitted cotton fabric is used for manufacturing T-shirts. Machines with needles are employed to grab the yarn and create a series of stitches. These stitches are the ones, which form this soft and stretchable fabric. Woven Cotton Fabric - Such kind of a cotton fabric is done by the use of a loom and a shuttle. Non-woven Cotton Fabric - Here, the fabric is created using heat or chemicals to hold the fibers in place. Cotton pads, bandages, diapers and filters are common examples. Types of Cotton Threads Mercerized Cotton Thread Glazed Cotton Thread Gassed Cotton Thread Cotton-Wrapped Polyester Thread So this was a brief discussion, which we had on the various types of cotton we can avail for out requirements. The choice of a particular type of cotton is governed by the purpose. I hope this article will help you chose the right type of cotton for your intended requirement.

What is your idea about different types of fabrics specially knit and woven fabrics? Knit fabric: Knitted fabrics the third major class of fabric, after woven and no woven
fabrics. Compared to the other two classes, knitted fabrics are much more elastic, which accounts for their historical use in stockings and other clothing that requires changes in shape. Hence, dresses and lingerie made from knitted fabrics can be more form fitting than counterparts made from a woven fabric. Knitted fabrics can stretch, depending on their material and knitting pattern, up to 500 percent of their original size. Lace knitting generally produces the most flexible fabric, since it has large holes that can deform in shape; by contrast, cable knitting generally produces the least flexible fabric, since the stitches are crossed under tension, which inhibits deformation. Knitted fabrics that do not deform much are called stable knits. For comparison, woven fabrics typically deform only along their bias directioni.e., at 45 to the warp and weft directionsand only by a small amount; however, a woven fabric made with a stretchable material such as Lycra may deform more than a stable knit. The elasticity of knitted fabrics gives them an excellent drape, but this is opposed somewhat by their generally greater thickness compared to woven. Thus, the turn of the cloth (i.e., the maximum curvature of a fold of the fabric) is generally finer in woven fabrics than in knitted fabrics. For this reason, knitted fabrics resist wrinkles better than woven, but do not generally take a crease. Knitted fabrics are generally warmer and more comfortable than woven fabrics, which is why they are worn closer to the body. Moreover, knitted fabrics are often made from wool, which stays warm even when wet; wool is preferred since it is more elastic than most fibers and produces more even, beautiful knits. In general, elasticity and warmth are opposing qualities in a knitted fabric, since the most elastic knitted fabrics, such as lace, have the largest holes and are thus less insulating. Structure of knitted fabrics: Knitted fabrics are divided into two basic types: warp-knit fabrics such as tricot and weft-knit fabrics such as a hand-knit sweater. Weft-knit items have the drawback that they run when cut. Warp-knit fabrics are often used in lingerie. Knits shrink Knits have nap Ribs/wales versus courses Generally more elasticity along the course than along the wale
BASIC QUESTIONS

Woven fabric: A woven is a cloth formed by weaving. It only stretches in the bias directions (between the warp and weft directions), unless the threads are elastic. Woven cloth usually frays at the edges, unless measures are taken to counter this, such as the use of pinking shears or hemming.

What is your idea about apparel industry? Apparel industry: The transfer of production controls Garment industry. The
globalization of garment production started earlier and has expanded more than that of any other factory. The companies have transferred their blue-collar production activities from high-wage areas to low-cost manufacturing regions in industrializing countries. The enhancement of communication system and networking has played a key role in this development. Export-oriented manufacturing has brought some good returns to the industrializing nations of Asia and Latin America since the 1960s. The first relocation of garment manufacturing took place from North America and Western Europe to Japan in the 1950s and the early 1960s. But during 1965 and 1983, Japan changed its attention to more lucrative products like cars, stereos and computers and therefore, 400,000 workers were dismissed by Japanese textile and clothing industry. In impact, the second stock transfer of garment manufacturing was from Japan to the Asian Tigers - South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore in 1970s. But the tendency of transfer of manufacturing did not remain there. The rise in labour charge and activeness of trade unions were in proportion to the enhancement in economies of the Asian Tigers. The industry witnessed a third transfer of manufacturing from 1980s to 1990s; from the Asian Tigers to other developing countries - Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and China in particular. The final group of exporters including Bangladesh, Srilanka, Pakistan and Vietnam has led the 1990s. But China was leader in the current of the relocation as in less than ten years (after 1980s) China emerged from nowhere to become the world's major manufacturer and exporter of clothing.

opportunity to improve their life style by involving in garment sector. Lots of women worker get employed in garments sector & earn money and able to change their fate. So, it has a great impact in our country. To make this sector more profitable it also need appropriate guideline. The first ready-made garment factories in Bangladesh aimed at the export market were opened in the late 1970s by investors from other Asian countries whose exports had been restrained by quotas imposed by importing nations. By the mid-1980s, the ready-made garment industry had become a strong export earner. Garment exports brought receipts of only US$3 million in FY 1981, but by 1984 exports had risen to US$32 million, and the following year revenue soared to US$116 million. For FY 1985 and FY 1986, readymade garments were the second biggest foreign exchange earner for Bangladesh after jute. The surge in Bangladeshi exports eventually caused a reaction among some industrial nations. Canada, the European Economic Community, and the United States expressed concern that inexpensive Bangladeshi garments were flooding their markets. In 1985, after a series of notices as called for by multilateral agreements, the United States-which was the destination of about 25 percent of Bangladesh's garment exports--began imposing quotas on Bangladeshi garments, one category at a time. Bangladeshi manufacturers, working with the government, organized with remarkable speed and efficiency to adapt to changing conditions. They policed themselves to stay within quotas, allocating production quotas according to equitable criteria, and began diversifying their production into categories where there were not yet quotas: for example, cotton trousers, knitwear, dresses, and gloves. After a period of adjustment, during which some of the least well-established firms closed and workers were laid off, the industry began stabilizing, and growth continued at a more moderate pace. Exports in FY 1986 rose another 14 percent, to US$131 million, and prospects were good for continued growth at about that rate.

What are the different types of sample? Write down short note on each sample?
Sample is a specimen or we can say a part which shows what the whole is look like. In apparel industry sample is the physical form of the buyers style. Different types of sample: Proto Sample Approval Sample Fit Sample Size set Sample Reference Sample Offer Sample Salesman Sample Photo Sample Pre Production Sample Production sample Shipment Sample Proto Sample: Proto sample is the initial sample made by the manufacturer as per as the details of the export order, and send to the buyer, to check weather the styling of the garment is ok as per the requirement of the buyer. Proto Sample can be made in alternative fabric & accessories, which is not with the original fabric and accessories. That is as per the sketch & space in the production order (P.O) sheet). Approval sample: The manufacturing must produce sample prior to communication of the mass scale production of a particular style. The number of samples required, vary from buyer to buyer. Most of the time buyers ask for 3-5 samples from the manufacturer. When constructing these samples the manufactures instruction should be followed. The original patterns, original sample & the specification are required to produce these samples. After constructing these samples manufacturer should send them to the buyer or to the agents to get the approval for the mass production. There are two main types of approval samples and they are known as:
BASIC QUESTIONS
XXXIX
When an order is placed and confirmed, the manufacturer has to produce samples for the buyer. The buyer generally gives the required size of the samples. If the size of samples is not given the middle size of the order range is taken as the appropriate size. That is if an order is given for a range of sizes, then the sample garment is made from the middle size. The samples produce for the given size or the middle sizes of the order are known as fit approval samples. The buyers approve once fit approval samples, request for samples in all the sizes of the order before the mass production starts. Then they are in a position to see the quality of the samples of all size of the order. These samples are known as size series samples. Even if there is no such request from the buyer, it is batter to produce to size series samples for use within the factory. Then they can identify the problem that might occur, when they produce different size in the mass production. Fit Sample: Fit Sample is made by the manufacture (exporter) and sends to the buyer, to check if the fittings of the garments are ok or not as per the requirement of the Buyer. Unusually the Fit sample is made in alternative Fabric & accessories & it is made, which ever comes at the middle of the export order sizes. For example: If the export order sizes are, S, M&L, and the Fit Sample will be in M size. Size Set Sample: Size set sample contains all the size of the export order contains sizes small, medium, large size. Then the size set is sample will contain all the size, the sample S are made by grading the M size sample. Alternative fabric & accessories can make this Sample. PP Sample (Pre Production sample): original fabric & Accessories make PP Sample, and this sample is made just before the Bulk production. This sample represents the original garment to be made in Bulk production. The buyer checks the PP samples & after the Buyer gives approval on PP sample, and then only the manufacture goes for bulk production of the export order. PP sample should include all the colors of the style. Production Sample: Production Sample is taken from production unit, by the bulk production is continuing, production sample represents the original production pieces to be exported to Buyer. Usually the exporter send production sample to Buyer once only, during the Bulk production, But in some cases where the export order quantity is large enough for single style for example incase of Buyer Wal-Mart, The production samples were sent three times during the Bulk production. First Sample sent during 20% to 30% of Bulk production. Second fit sample during 50% to 60% of Bulk production Third production sample during 70% to 80% of Bulk Production.
BASIC QUESTIONS

Reference Sample: Reference purpose when produce the extra sample is called reference sample. When we produce the approval sample then we have to produce an extra sample for reference purposes in the factory, Reference sample is also called keep sample. After getting the approval from buyer, the reference sample can be released for mass production. When releasing the reference sample for mass production all this comment made by agents and or by the buyer must be attached clearly to the reference samples. The sample kept in the sample department until getting the approval from the buyers after inspecting the approval samples. Offer Samples: If the factory wants to attract new buyers, they have to be won by showing samples of garments that the manufacturer can offer. For this purpose they produce on their own, samples of new designs. These samples are known as offer samples. The ultimate objective of producing these offer samples are to attract new buyers to find new markets. Shipment Sample: This Sample the manufacture keeps with them, covering all sizes & colors of the style of garments they exported. It is for the reference pieces, just to keep record for future reference.
What are the steps handle by followed at the time of sending sample?
Step: At first make proto sample/development sample Buyer comments Fit sample Buyer comments Salesman sample (SMS) Buyer comments If sales man sample ok then order quantity confirm

Then price negotiation If price negotiation ok then starting production So we can understand that Sales man sample: If any order confirm then buyer want to sales man sample. At first development stages then buyer comments (if any one change buyer tell). Mainly salesman sample depend on buyer. We know that two types of seller; Home seller: home seller does not want to salesman sample. Seal seller: seal seller want to sales man sample.
Mainly salesman sample depend on bulk quantity. So first stage six pies salesman sample give the buyer. Then buyers those sample show their shopping mall. If this sample attraction to customer then buyer confirm the order quantity, that is called salesman sample.
CNF - Cost & Freight (named port of destination): The seller must pay the cost and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination.

What is your idea about PO, PI, M L/C, BB/C, and bill of lading, consolidators bill of lading?
PO (purchase order): This is a legal document stating the quantity, delivery, price, style no, buyer, vendor details. On receipt of a PO it is very important that the merchandiser checks all details and confirms that they are correct like quantity, delivery date, and price, style no, style description, color no & reference if mentioned, shipment mode, shipment port, vendor address, buyer address. PI: the exporting company usually issues the proforma invoice before the actual transaction takes place. This is especially prevalent in Third World countries that have demonstrated previous balance of payment problems and where there is a need to obtain import and foreign exchange permits from the local government. To be effective there are several very important things that the proforma invoice must cover. Of course the most important issue is a very accurate description of the particular item to be exported. It is not OK to send an invoice that says 10 tons of beans; the customers wants to know what kind of beans they are and are they Imperial tons or metric tons. By the same token you could send someone an invoice that states flash frozen cod, packed in clear plastic bags, not labeled for resale and be just fine. As long as the customer knew in advance of the lack of labeling if there were any issues the problems would be his. The proforma invoice must also state the type of currency that is acceptable as a form of payment and how it is to be paid. An example of this might be payment for the flash frozen fish is to be made in Rupees and the balance owed must be paid within 30 days from the date the receipt for delivery is signed. In other words it is up to the exporter to make his payment desires known up front to make sure there is no confusion. Bill Of Lading (BIL): It is a major document if the goods are dispatched by sea. The document represents: 1. A formal receipt for the goods 2. The evidence of the contract of carriage of the goods between the shipper of the goods and the shipping company A bill of lading may include the following details: A description of the goods in general terms not inconsistent with that in the letter of credit

Letter of Credit (L/C): A letter of credit (also known as documentary credit) is a document issued by a bank on behalf of an applicant (the buyer) undertaking to make payment to a beneficiary (the seller) up to a stated amount of money, within a prescribed time limit and against stipulated documents. There are usually two banks involved in a letter of credit operation. The issuing bank is the bank of the buyer and issues the credit; the advising bank, usually located in the seller's country, is the bank through which the advising bank sends the credit to the beneficiary. Commercial Invoice: A commercial invoice is a business document which records the sale of goods or services between two parties, and by which the seller informs the buyer of the amount to be paid for the goods. Usually, the original and four copies are stipulated in the L/C. A commercial invoice normally includes the following information: Date and authorized signature The correct name and address of both buyer and seller (or the name of the consignee if the goods are not consigned to buyer) A detailed description of the merchandise purchased strictly corresponding with the description given in the letter of credit, along with quantity, unit price, and total price, all deductions and additional charges included in the price Weight of the goods, number of packages, any identifying shipping marks, any import license number, contract number or any other details requested and stipulated in the L/C Terms of delivery and payment (FOB, CIF, C&F) The name of the issuing bank and the letter of credit number The port of entry for which the merchandise is destined
