    I thought this was an excellent, quick skim through many aspects of garment manufacturing, with a focus on plain cotton t-shirts to guide the discussion! The author (Shift Fashion Group, a Toronto-based fashion studio) starts by discussing different varieties of cotton and the measurements which affect their quality, then builds up through yarn, knitting, design, and manufacturing of a shirt. They also slip in a bunch of useful tips for selecting higher quality garments at the store (e.g. "baconing" in a collar, shoulder seam locations, oily feeling fabrics, etc.), which seems like it would be useful for people who buy more than one clothing a year :3

I highly recommend for those interested to take a look at their breakdown for the Canada Goose jacket, and it's quite interesting and goes into the effort it takes to construct such a garment.

    this channel is one of the best. Looking at the construction of garments is an absolute game changer for our blind consumption.
