The term cut and sew is used to describe a garment that has been customized from raw fabric rather than one that has been purchased from a third-party supplier and then screenprinted or altered. The term is prevalent in the urban fashion industry, where designers can either have a design screenprinted on a pre-made garment, such as a t-shirt or hooded sweatshirt, or have the entire garment created from scratch. Cut and sew garments are generally of higher quality and price than a standard mass-produced item.
