Garment MOQ and fabric MCQ are different commercial gates. Confusing them breaks colourway math and cash planning.
Quick answers
- Garment MOQ: typical bulk 150 pcs/colour; trial from 100 on selected library programmes.
- Fabric MCQ: mill / colour / construction driven — often higher than one colourway’s fabric need.
- Per style vs per colour: colour multiplies units and cash.
Why fabric MOQ is higher than garment MOQ
Yarn bookings, dye-lot stability and print/jacquard setups favour longer fabric runs. A brand may only need 80–120 m for one colourway while the mill quotes 500 m+. That gap is why library hands exist — see fabric library.
