Tiruppur is known globally as the “T-Shirt Capital of India,” but despite its reputation, there are many outdated or inaccurate assumptions about the city’s garment industry. If you’re an apparel brand or fashion startup, it’s crucial to separate fact from fiction—because the right manufacturer can make or break your business.
At Radison Apparel, based in Tiruppur, we hear these misconceptions all the time. Let’s clear the air.
—
Myth #1: Tiruppur Only Makes Basic Cotton T-Shirts
Fact: Tiruppur manufacturers today produce everything from organic cotton to performance wear, sublimation-printed tees, polo shirts, and fashion-forward cuts like oversized and drop-shoulder fits.
We also specialize in custom blends, eco-friendly fabrics, and private label orders with retail-ready finishing.

Myth #2: Quality from Tiruppur Isn’t Export-Grade
Fact: Tiruppur exports to over 50 countries and meets international standards in fabric quality, stitching precision, and compliance certifications like GOTS, OEKO-TEX, SEDEX, and WRAP.
Big global brands—from the U.S. to Europe—source from Tiruppur every day.
✅ Radison Apparel is an export-ready unit committed to international-grade manufacturing.

Myth #3: Tiruppur Is Only for Bulk Orders
Fact: Many units—including ours—support Low MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) manufacturing to help small and mid-sized brands scale.
Whether you’re launching your first 100-piece collection or fulfilling 10,000 units, Tiruppur has you covered.

Fact: After facing criticism in the early 2000s, Tiruppur’s industry transformed. Today, the region leads in Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology and water-recycling dye houses.
Many units are fully compliant with environmental norms and invest in cleaner processes like digital printing, azo-free dyes, and organic processing.

Myth #5: Tiruppur Lacks Design Innovation
Fact: Modern Tiruppur units work with fashion consultants, CAD pattern makers, and in-house designers.
You can get full tech-pack support, custom sizing, and even trend-forward silhouettes to match Western and Asian markets.

Myth #6: It’s Hard to Communicate with Tiruppur Manufacturers
