The Making Process
Craft
Six stages. No shortcuts. This is how a QUMRASH garment is made.
The QUMRASH standard is not a slogan. It is a checklist applied at every stage of production — from the moment fabric arrives at our atelier to the moment a garment is folded into its mailer. What follows is that checklist, made transparent.
Fabric Selection
We source every bolt of fabric ourselves. Cotton from Punjab, hand-woven khadi from Sindh, merino blends imported to a specification we have spent years refining. Fabric is inspected for weight, weave consistency, and colourfastness before it ever reaches a cutter.
Pattern Making
Our block patterns are developed over multiple seasons of fit testing on real bodies across size ranges. We do not grade blindly from a single sample size. Each size block is independently reviewed and adjusted so that the garment behaves correctly at every point in the range.
Cutting
Fabric is cut by hand in single-ply for our premium pieces, or controlled spreads for volume runs. We align grain lines with a precision that most production facilities skip. The cut determines how the garment drapes — and we do not compromise it.
Construction
Seams are sewn at 10–12 stitches per inch, pressed open on a steam buck between every operation, and reinforced at high-stress points with bar tacks. Collars are fused to spec, then hand-turned. Plackets are aligned before stitching, not after.
Finishing
Every garment is garment-washed or steamed to pre-shrink the fabric and set the dye. Buttons are sewn with a shank for durability. Buttonholes are cut clean, not frayed. Loose threads are trimmed by hand.
Final Inspection
Each piece is measured against its specification sheet, checked for symmetry, pressed to a crease, and held under raking light to catch surface defects. Any piece that does not pass is either reworked or cut from the run. We do not ship seconds.
Why it takes longer
The average fast-fashion garment takes fewer than five minutes to construct. Ours takes closer to forty. That gap is where our quality lives. It is also why we release fewer pieces per season than our competitors. We would rather you own one garment that holds its form for five years than five that do not survive six months.
