Seminar on Art of Shirt Making

Most people talk about Bangladesh’s late surge of exports turnover overtaking India, but in respect to Men’s shirt making, Bangladesh was always ahead of India. Way back in year 2000 Bangladesh exported double the volume of men’s shirt to EU than India. Why India has poor record in shirt manufacturing? The answer is complicated…The panel discussion on Business of Shirt Making will try to find answer for same.

Although shirt making is perceived as most standard process with least complicated machinery and equipment to be used, you might be interested in knowing the following questions - 
  1. Is it actually so standard? 
  2. How much do we really know about Men’s dress shirt making? 
  3. What are the critical and control parameters in cutting? 
  4. Band knife or die cut-which one to be preferred for small parts cutting? 
  5. Which fusing machine should ideally be used for collar fusing? 
  6. Why collar and cuff may not need same fusible interlining? 
  7. How the collar & cuff runstitch should be done to get a neater appearance at back side? 
  8. Is lap seam by Feed of the arm technically correct seam for side seam join? 
  9. Should a shirt be ironed or finished? 
These never ending queries kept the shirt-makers around the world guessing for the right formula.
