About this course
An apparel costing course that costs one fictional brand's chinos from fabric to the shop floor in a spreadsheet, for fashion and sourcing students, product developers, buyers, merchandisers and small brands. You work out marker efficiency and fabric consumption per garment with a cutting allowance, cost ten trims and packing items in a bill of materials, price cut-make-trim labour from the standard minutes (SAM) and the factory's cost per minute, build an FOB cost sheet with overhead and factory margin, follow a 6,000-unit order through freight, insurance, an illustrative duty and fees to the landed cost per unit, split an order across sizes from a size ratio, set wholesale and keystone retail prices at .95 price points and chart how markdowns melt the season margin. Illustrative costs and duty rates. The first lab is free.
