“Star studded review”

I met Jamie at a very fortuitous time in my company history. We were at the delicate crossroads of launching our first ever apparel collection and being an already established designer leather goods brand, we needed the right partner to help bring us to the Women’s Ready To Wear game. Jamie was exactly what we needed to facilitate this in every possible way. She showed us how to properly fabricate a collection, enhance washes and produce on a managed functional schedule. After our initial line launch, we were in need of some support to handle some incredibly tough styles that we needed to produce.
One style in particular that went viral because I wore it on an episode of E’s Fashion Police was a crazy allover studded Ponte pant. It was meant to ship to a very notable luxury retailer and we could not for the life of us figure out how to produce this commercially.
Not only was F2F able to deliver it on time but they also exceeded our expectations in how they got it done on time and at the designated target costs. Working with Jamie and her team at F2F was seamless! They really go above and beyond with what they deliver and can sincerely check off all the boxes of what it really takes to get from Fabric To Finish.

“ Jamie is completely transparent and trustworthy, and her calm competence really has helped reduce my stress level.”

My tween daughters had a great idea, and my husband and I wanted to support them in seeing it to fruition. However, neither of us had a background in fashion, and we had NO idea how to help them. Thankfully, I found Jamie and the team at Fabric to Finish. Every single member of the team has been fantastic. They have taken our suit prototype and elevated it to a whole different level, ensuring that our product will be of excellent quality. They have patiently educated us, encouraged us, and steered us when necessary, all while being great listeners and respecting our opinions, even those coming from a 12- and 13-year-old. Jamie is completely transparent and trustworthy, and her calm competence really has helped reduce my stress level. I truly cannot recommend Fabric to Finish enough- my girls are going to see their dream realized when we launch our website and clothing line in September. We are so excited, and none of this would be possible without Jamie and her team.

“Fabric to Finish is in a class all their own; they are by far the most comprehensive, caring, and professional firm that we have worked with.”

Setting out to create a first-of-its’-kind product was no small feat. We approached several factories and sourcing agencies, none of which were successful at executing our project. The challenge level was high and required a great deal of innovation for this new product category.
Jamie believed in our product and vision from the start. She and her team were incredibly diligent in honing the details to make our design production-ready, and they persistently sought out the right combination of vendors and manufacturers to bring our products to life. Frances and Stephanie consistently communicated and guided us through the process resulting in a final product that exceeded our expectations.
Fabric to Finish is in a class all their own; they are by far the most comprehensive, caring and professional firm that we have worked with.
F2F can tackle any obstacle and will explore every avenue necessary to make the product what it needs to be. We look forward to a long-standing relationship with the team that has brought our vision to life.

“They know what they are talking about”

When you run multiple businesses, there are so many areas you need to focus on, and because you don’t have the resources to recruit a team of Experts for each one, you tend to try and do everything yourself. Then comes a company like Fabric to Finish. Over a two-year relationship, they have proven expert knowledge of the fashion disciplines. They know what they are talking about. This knowledge enables them to execute tasks quicker than those without the experience, knowledge, or qualifications, from a napkin drawing to a product ready for retail. People make decisions based on trust and credibility, and earning such an excellent reputation can take years, but they helped expedite the process. When you have a company like this on your side, there is just only one way, and that is up!

“I truly couldn’t have done it without them.”

As a seasoned fit model with many years of experience in the fashion industry I was really apprehensive about starting my own line because I knew what a huge undertaking it would be but the team at Fabric to Finish, Inc. really helped bring my vision to life. With so many moving parts it’s really important to partner with someone that understands the business and has access to resources all in one place. They kept me updated on every detail and every step along the way. They were very thorough when it came to my ideas, fabric & material sourcing, costing and everything in-between. I truly couldn’t have done it without them. A huge thank you to all of the players involved in helping me with my brand.

“Fabric to Finish is a Game Changer”

When we first decided to get into the golf polo business we were at a loss of what to do and where to start. Then we found Fabric to Finish and they made all our dreams come true. Jamie and Frances have guided us through the whole process of choosing our fabric materials, colors and trims; some of those being things we had never heard of before! The whole team has been super supportive and accommodating to meet our schedule and needs. Working together from across the country can sometimes be a challenge but the team has always been very responsive and ready to answer us whenever we have questions. Getting to meet them in person for our first production fitting was one of the highlights of our process so far! We cannot wait for our golf polos to be completed and shipped to us to start selling, and we could not have done anything of this without Fabric to Finish!

“With detailed explanations, and supporting information, Fabric to Finish helped me understand the industry and has set me up for success and efficiency”

As a first-time entrepreneur beginning my journey, I wanted to partner with designers who understood my mission and had the experience and patience to help guide me through the design process. I did not have the connections myself and was quite lost before finding Fabric to Finish. Jamie and her team not only held my hand, but provided so much insight into the design world, something you can tell they have much experience in. They work hard on developing their relationships with factories across the world. With detailed explanations, and supporting information, Fabric to Finish helped me understand the industry and has set me up for success and efficiency as I grow my cause driven brand. I cannot thank them enough for getting me to this moment. It is one I will treasure and truly value as I look to work with them again on my next collection and hopefully many more after that.

Jamie and the team at F2F have been my coaches and cheerleaders throughout my new venture into fashion and owning a small business.

“Indispensable and Impeccable”

Jamie consulted with my brand when she was first starting Fabric To Finish and brought her in-depth understanding of the sampling to production process to the table as an indispensable resource. Her patience and diligence even under the relentless pressures of the fashion calendar as well as impeccable instinct for quality, mindfulness of budgets and can-do attitude are an indispensable resource in the industry, and we continue to enjoy a productive and collaborative relationship over ten years since we first worked together.

“Great team of experts!”

When I had the idea of starting an outerwear brand that marries the tailored aspects of traditional outerwear with cutting edge fabrics, insulations and technologies, I knew finding a production partner that would understand and also have the ability to put my ideas into production would be difficult. Luckily I came across Jamie and her team! I have now been working with the F2F team for 2 plus years now and they have truly been instrumental in making our ideas come to life. Starting from the R&D of fabric and trims, all they way through QC and final delivery, Jamie and her team are truly experts that make the normally arduous production process a lot easier. Also with numerous connections with suppliers and factories in the US, Europe and Asia they truly are a one stop solution.

Their passion, talent and knowledge in this industry is endless. I had a little idea but zero experience and this team had everything I needed to fully understand the process, the connections and move forward. F2F becomes a second family, they are always there to teach, support and guide you in the best path needed.

“Fabric to finish has been there every step of the way”

After spending over ten years working in finance and technology, I decided to take a short break to spend time with my two young children. During my time off, I became focused on an idea that I was passionate about bringing to market. With no background in clothing design or manufacturing, I needed someone to help take my idea from pen and paper to a sellable product. Fabric to Finish has been absolutely instrumental in getting me to a product that I am excited to bring to market in the coming months. From helping find the right manufacturing partner to translating my thoughts into the technical language that a factory requires, Fabric to Finish has been there every step of the way. I am incredibly thankful that I found Fabric to Finish when I did.

“Professional and hardworking!”

I was new to the garment manufacturing industry when I found Fabric to Finish on Maker’s Row. I needed a tremendous amount of guidance in order to launch my product. Jamie and her team have been priceless in providing that guidance. Their knowledge and connections are extensive. They helped with fabric choices and colors, patterns and trim to the smallest of details. I’m out of state, so was concerned about working with a company in New York City. F2F couldn’t have been more accommodating. They have been flexible and incredibly understanding about scheduling meetings to accommodate my calendar. Their professionalism is constant. My phone calls, emails and texts are always answered on the same day, usually within an hour or two. I have questioned many decisions in this process, but never my decision to hire Jamie. As I write this, my garment is being manufactured right in Manhattan! I could not have done it without F2F! They are the best!

– Kim Agnor

“Extremely professional!”

As we continue to grow and evolve our denim bottoms business, we wanted to be sure to offer the same level of accuracy in other garment categories we are expanding into. We sought out the assistance of Fabric to Finish to develop tech packs and complement the needed attention to detail and superior technical direction. Fabric to Finish was able to hand us completed tech packs that we could send overseas for production development. We were more than satisfied with the opportunity to collaborate with such an esteemed and diligent company and we look forward to continuing to count on Fabric To Finish as we continue to grow our brand.

– Alejandro Chahin

“F2F is FAB!”

When I landed on the Maker’s Row website, I had an idea in my head that wouldn’t go away. Not having any experience in the fashion industry and no idea how to get started, I clicked just about all the options listed on the “what do you need help with” page. Pattern making, sourcing, samples, materials, production. Up popped Fabric to Finish. I made the call and ultimately ended up in a meeting with Jamie Koff. I tend to be a person who goes with her gut, rather than relying on analytics, and the first time I met Jamie, we clicked. That was enough for me to proceed. That was 9 months ago and I honestly cannot imagine being on this journey with anyone else. The team Jamie has put together is incredible. The level of professionalism is high, and yet there is always room for a few laughs and a lot of counseling when my fears get the better of me! Everyone involved with my brand is patient with my learning curve and extremely helpful in teaching me the ropes. Jamie and her crew have extensive experience in the industry, which has garnered them great contacts and relationships. To see the vision become a reality is a dream come true, thanks to F2F.

“Production push”

I have a background in design, but the manufacturing process was new to me. I started working with Fabric to Finish after hitting a wall and being unable to find manufacturers on my own. Jamie and her team helped me to turn my design into a reality and taught me about the process of production. Frances, is absolutely amazing, she was so accommodating and helpful with anything and everything I needed. Their in-house technically designer, Debbie, is also great to work with. Debbie is very knowledgeable and often brought up great points about technical design that I did not think about before speaking with her. Overall Fabric to Finish gave me the push I needed to move into larger scale production.

“F2F does an amazing  job”

I came from the corporate design world and knew that starting my own line would be a very big job. I also knew I couldn’t do it alone and reached out to F2F. Jamie and her team were wonderful, they literally lived up to the words “Fabric to Finish”. Jamie was a great resource for gorgeous fabrics, patterns and samples in the development process, and followed through with great production. Jamie has a background from the corporate world as well, so she fully understands what it takes to get the job done from beginning to end. Working with Jamie and F2F was a pleasure and I couldn’t have done it without them.

“Love, love, love them”

Jamie and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with! I have been working with Jamie for a year now, and have learned so much about the manufacturing side of the business. The team is very responsive, patient, and beyond organized! Jamie is super knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in the industry that I lack, so I am able to ask her questions whenever I am unsure about something. They have helped me find a factory overseas that has helped me cut a lot of my costs. They have also sourced various fabrics and helped me with the printing process of our fabric. I always enjoy going to visit them during our fittings because they provide a fun and relaxed environment in what can sometimes be a very stressful industry! I look forward to what the future holds for both of us!

Jamie and the entire Fabric 2 Finish team have been awesome to work with. They have a wide selection of fabric and means to source specifics at my request. Always with the timely email responses and production completion on time. Always a pleasure to find a company that runs efficiently and smoothly.

“Knowledgeable and helpful”

I worked with Fabric to Finish for a year to source a fabric that has lacked in quality and consistency in the past couple of years. They are very knowledgeable with overseas factories and were able to cut costs in both fabric/yard and shipping from overseas. They also arranged to ship the fabric to 3 locations – New York, London, and Australia – and made it very easy to do so. They provided me with all the knowledge that I requested and guided me throughout the process.

I have worked with other companies and never have I experienced the warm feeling I get when I step foot into the F2F studio.

This is the place to build an official collection. Fabric 2 Finish gets an A+.

“The creme de la creme”

I have been working with Jamie Koff and her team at Fabric to Finish for over a year now, and they have been instrumental in getting me, a complete newbie to the apparel making space, to pre-production stage. Not only do they have fantastic connections, their team is incredibly on top of everything and has been instrumental in shepherding the full process from my initial ideas down to a tech pack and samples. I can’t rave enough about Jamie and her team….if you are a complete newcomer to the apparel manufacturing scene like I was, this is your place to start to make sure your first collection is a success!

“Fabric to finish has taught me that I had to trust the process”

Being an entrepreneur, I have had many businesses before. However, nothing had prepared me for what I was in for when I began my Thongo journey.  I found Fabric to Finish through a close friend of mine who had years of experience in the garment world.  My first meeting with Jamie was seamless, as she took the time to understand my product and vision for it.  I knew after meeting with others she was the person I wanted to help me bring my idea to life.
Fabric to Finish has taught me that I had to trust the process, a very hard learning curve for me.  There were times I panicked, but thankfully they seemed to know how to keep it all together, whether it be an extra call to explain or a quick text to clear things up. You can tell the team has chemistry and works well together.  Each person has their own unique role, and it makes things run smoothly. I am thankful for them all.
Our product Thongo has been a thought of mine for many years. Having Jamie believe in me and my idea has been an amazing experience. The future of Thongo is bright, and the possibilities are endless, and I do not believe we would be where we are now without choosing Fabric to Finish!
