I’m still so amazed clothes can be so cheap and massed produced when fabric are thousands of complicated individual weaving. I have a very great appreciation for clothes and wonder why clothes can be made in such mass quantity and low prices
@ismaelabufon16962 жыл бұрын
There are maaaany factors for that. And relationships are complex.. but from my vast ignorance/limited experience I could say: Cotton and other fibre sources are made in huge batches all around the world, so they enter the commodity market where standards are required so they are all of comparable quality. Standardization promotes competition between sellers. Then since most of the produce, harvesting, spinning and weaving is made by machines, the costs are mainly energy and some operation hands, which at those speeds they are there just to interact with certain processes and keep the flow of things. So most of the cost is whatever the machines cost to run. Which in case the price of energy (oil/coal/solar) is known and reliable, a cost can be estimated. If things are highly reproducible with little errors (thanks precision engineering), then whoever is trading these commodities can engage into contracts that fix production quotas for both suppliers and customers (next step in the supply chain). This means that whatever happens, production is set. They have to deliver a specific volume. If they can't; price may change (or a breach of contract happens and then it's more complex) Knowing your speed of production, you can tell your customers your capacities and they will put their orders. That means that you put your own orders for your raw materials. So this creates a pull effect for the cotton plantations (or polyester makers) to deliver whatever volumes they were contracted to deliver. All these fabrics are bought by clothing (or whatever biz) manufacturers that need them. Then, since H&M, Zara, and whatever fast fashion companies you prefer, like to come up with different designs every season, they create another pull effect on the whole supply chain (producers/spinners/weavers/manufacturers) to deliver. That creates a high volume of work to be done. Again... economies of scale are at play. If you know that you'll have a job for a year, you'll probably accept a slightly lower pay than taking on the risk of engaging in other types of work.. if you have that choice. Or if your circumstances don't allow you to choose, your income can be dictated by your employer (low-wage countries) So then all costs throughout the supply chain fluctuate slightly and according to just a few factors. Mainly price of energy and human labour. If you look for low skilled labour, costs will be lower, and so will be prices. Each step adds a markup obviously, where the biggest jump happens at the branding stage, which is when a garment is branded under H&M/Zara/Gucci/YSL/Diesel, etc. All because each of these houses they set their own quality standards on each of the step. Some they do try to avoid exploitation and child labour, leaving them only with [slightly] more expensive adults. Also the uniqueness of the design, the quantity of garments produced in the whole world, and brand reputation go into factor. Luxury brands sometimes act like exclusive clubs, and their price tags are membership fees, so your exorbitantly expensive Hugo Boss suit is just capitalising on your perceived value of the brand. However, there is a big difference in the quality of the raw materials used. They may use only super long, grade A fibers of cotton grown in ??? because they want that, and that only, versus cheapsy Target clothing that were made using grade C and D type of yarn, go through less stringent quality controls, so on. And that's it... It's a very complex process with lots of inputs. Like why if a freighter ship gets stuck on the Suez canal affects your prices of clothes in San Francisco. Or why if the WTI oil price goes negative your prices also move, or if there's a pandemic, leading to a worldwide shipping shortage also creates stress for your garments industry, or immigration patterns that may alter available human labour, or if plummeting birth rates alter your future expected requirements to supply the industry. Or if a genetically modified cotton plant yields better, longer fibres. Or if environmental regulations forbid the use of polyester. Or if a more efficient machine is designed. Etc, etc, etc And that's why there's a full field of study dedicated to understand and manage these higher-level things (economics, trade, finance, etc).

A lot of these machines take their cues from our ancient fabric techniques though on a mass scale, often programmed by algorithms and maintained by fine tuned programming. So fascinating.

Yeah, but back in the day it was an extremely dangerous process, and they used children to weft (not sure if that's the word. The children manipulated threads in the middle of the machine to make patterns), because they were small and could fit under the machine, where the job had to be done. They had to adjust the threads while the machine was on, and any mistake could cost their fingers.

In textile terms you call them yarns, polyester yarns were used here (from the description he gave in the beginning) and these yarns are formed by spinning process where you get the filaments of polyester from polymer chips. It can can be done in three ways, 1. Melt spinning- Melt the chips and extrude filaments from a spinneret (Like a shower head) 2. Dry spinning- Dissolve chips in a chemical. while the solution comes out spinneret you blow hot air and chemical will evaporate giving you filaments. 3. Wet Spinning- Dissolve chips in a chemical. At the bottom of the assembly there will be a chemical bath where filaments will be extracted.

Agreed, the narrator didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about. He's just reading the script that some one handed him to read. That means whoever wrote the script didn't have a clue. Whoever went to the factory to make notes didn't understand the procedures and doesn't know the difference of weaving, braiding and knitting. All are different from each other and produce different products. This certainly was a poor explanation of how woven fabric is made.
