This is my working data centre for the apparel industry – focused on how real sourcing and manufacturing decisions are made across key production countries. I cover sourcing strategy, MOQ and pricing logic, product strengths, factory selection and logistics, with a deep, practical view on Bangladesh where I am based.

Sourcing strategy guides for building a balanced global sourcing mix
Clear explanations of MOQ tiers, pricing and risk from test orders to programmes
Product playbooks for shirts, denim bottoms, trousers, knit tops, dresses and light outerwear

Start with the topic that matches your current question – MOQ and pricing, sourcing strategy, product planning, factory selection or logistics.
How to position Bangladesh and other countries in your global sourcing mix, plan programmes, and align products, volumes and price levels with the right factories.
Evergreen explanations of MOQ tiers, FOB ranges, test versus programme orders, and how factories in Bangladesh and other countries think about commercial decisions.
Category-by-category notes for shirts, denim bottoms, trousers, knit tops, dresses, light outerwear and more – how they behave on MOQ, price and lead-time.
How I select factories, what compliance and QA look like in practice, and how to reduce risk while still respecting manufacturers as serious partners.
Guides on calendars, realistic lead-times, shipping routes, Incoterms and documentation so your planning with Bangladesh and other origins stays grounded.
