The main thing to understand is how the design and production processes are unique
Design: beyond the actual look and feel, pattern making and grading for each size are key steps
Production: patterns are cut into many layers of fabric (i.e., one cut/stroke to make many shirts), and then there’s sewing, and finally finishing (e.g., buttons, special washes, etc)
Also, planning is an important function because the number of SKUs/sizes fragments demand, and lead times are extremely long due to the need to source textile far in advance, then manufacture overseas, then ship via container ship
There are some good books on amazon if you search apparel production and pattern making
That said, all of this will change once custom made-to-measure scamming and production technology (e.g., 3D body scanners, automated pattern cutting) advances enough to become affordable
