    How Fashion Brands Source Overseas the Right Way

    Why do so many apparel brands manufacture offshore, and what does it actually take to do it right? In this episode of Clothing Coulture, Bret Schnitker and Emily Lane break down the realities of global sourcing, from shrinking U.S. production capacity to the hidden costs and risks brands often overlook. They explain why offshore manufacturing remains essential for many brands due to labor costs, infrastructure, scale, and consumer price expectations. The conversation also dives into how different countries specialize in different product categories, why diversification across sourcing regions matters, and how shifting politics, tariffs, and economics continue to reshape the supply chain. Listeners also get practical guidance on vetting factories, understanding MOQs, timelines, FOB vs DDP pricing, and why chasing the cheapest quote can create serious quality, compliance, and delivery issues. This episode is a valuable roadmap for emerging brands and established companies looking to source smarter. Understanding Origins For Production Minimums Document
