UK govt to back textile industry revival scheme

In such a situation, it seems to be a preferable option to get jeans and commissioned shirts prepared within UK, as the discounting adjustments for UK-made goods are far smaller than those compared with goods produced in Asia. 

For example, while gross profit for a UK-made tailored shirt reduces from £55.86 to £53.20 during discounting adjustments, that for Asia-made shirts, it drops from £60.58 to £45.58.
 
Another advantage of UK-sourcing is it reduces the supply chain time, which makes it easier to make changes in designs and style patterns.
 
But the idea of completely relocating production of T-shirts from Asia to back to the UK would not be economically viable, according to the research.
