Ready Made Garment

Ready Made Garments are mass-produced finished textile products of the clothing industry. They are not custom tailored according to measurements, rather generalized according to anthropometric studies. They are made from many different fabrics and yarns.[1] Their characteristics depend on the fibers used in their manufacture.[2] Ready-made garments are divided into the following types:

Outer clothing: workwear and uniform, leisure wear, sportswear (e.g. suits, pants, dresses, ladies' suits, blouses, blazers, jackets, cardigans, pullovers, coats, sports jackets, skirts, shirts (short- or long-sleeved), ties, jeans, shorts, T-shirts, polo shirts, sports shirts, tracksuits, bathing shorts, bathing suits, bikinis etc.)

Underclothing (underwear): jersey goods, lingerie (e.g. underpants, undershirts, briefs, socks, stockings, pantyhose etc.)
