What is "raw garment" cost? Materials were already covered above.
Subtotal of Materials, Trim, Labor, and Waste.

I see. Thanks.
^Correct, though if I'm not mistaken, their math is off by $1 ($56.06 should be the cost based on their numbers.) Their graphic should have been clearer.
The article's a little murky on the numbers. They cite 2.0 - 2.5 x markup from "cost" to "retail". I don't see how you get there from $56.06 to $310, as in this example.
Has anyone read the Comments section yet? Tons of people either bragging about their $20 jeans or ranting about politics/government
