How Workwear Is Made

From raw fiber to finished garment

Cotton is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant. It goes through several stages before becoming the polo shirt or t-shirt you wear.

1
Cotton harvesting

Harvesting

Raw cotton bolls are picked from the plant, cleaned, and compressed into bales of ~220kg each.

2
Cotton spinning into yarn

Spinning

Cotton fibers are carded, combed, and spun into yarn. Ring-spun cotton produces softer, stronger yarn.

3
Yarn dyeing

Dyeing & Knitting

Yarn is dyed in large vats (reactive dye for colorfastness), then knitted into fabric — jersey for t-shirts, pique for polos.

4
Fabric cutting

Cutting

Fabric is laid in layers and cut by CNC machine according to pattern pieces. A 220gsm cotton pique uses ~300g of fabric per polo.

5
Garment sewing

Sewing & Assembly

Cut pieces are sewn together: collar, sleeves, body, placket. A standard polo has 15-20 operations taking ~12 min per unit.

6
Quality control

QC & Packing

Each garment is inspected (AQL 2.5), pressed, folded with hang tags, and packed into poly bags then cartons.

Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from petroleum-derived PET chips. Blended with cotton (65/35 or 50/50), it adds durability, wrinkle resistance, and moisture management.

1
PET chips

PET Chip Production

Petroleum is refined into PET chips (polyethylene terephthalate). These are the raw material for polyester fibers.

2
Extrusion

Extrusion & Spinning

PET chips are melted at 260°C and extruded through spinnerets into fine filaments, then stretched and crimped to create texture.

3
Blending

Blending (Poly/Cotton)

For workwear: polyester fibers are blended with cotton at 65/35 ratio. This gives comfort of cotton + durability of polyester.

4
Garment construction

Garment Construction

Knitted or woven fabric is cut and assembled. Softshell jackets use 3-layer bonded fabric: outer face + membrane + fleece lining.

Custom embroidery adds branding and professional finish to workwear. The process involves digitizing your logo and stitching it with industrial multi-needle machines.

1
Logo digitizing

Logo Digitizing

Your logo file (AI/PDF/PNG) is converted to embroidery format (DST/PES). Each color becomes a separate thread layer. Typical logo: 5,000-15,000 stitches.

2
Embroidery machine

Machine Embroidery

Industrial multi-head machines (6-12 heads) run simultaneously. A 10,000-stitch logo takes ~3 min per piece. Thread: polyester (durable) or rayon (shiny).

3
Finished embroidered garment

Finishing & QC

Backing is trimmed, loose threads cut, garment pressed. Each piece inspected for stitch density, color match, and placement accuracy.
