Cut and sew

Cut and sew

The term cut and sew is used to denote a garment that has been customized from raw fabric rather than one that has been purchased from a third-party supplier and then screenprinted or altered.

The term is prevalent in the urban fashion industry, where t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts can either have a design screenprinted on a pre-made garment, or can be customized from raw fabric. In the latter case, the designer of the graphic also played a role in the creation of the t-shirt itself. Cut and sew garments are generally of higher quality and price than a standard mass-produced item.[citation needed] Brands like Diamond Supply Co have 'cut and sew' lines.
