Industry W ag e Survey—

M en’s and Boys’ Shirts (Except W o rk Shirts) and Nightwear,
May—June 1961
Summary
Earnings of production workers in men*s and boys1 shirt (except work
shirts) and nightwear manufacturing establishments in May—June 1961, averaged
$ 1 .2 6 an hour, exclusive of premium pay for overtime and for work on week­
ends, holidays, and late shifts, according to a survey conducted by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. 1 Earnings of all but a small proportion of the 93, 190 work­
ers covered by the study were within a range of $1 to $ 2 .5 0 an hour, with the
middle half earning between $ 1 .0 4 and $ 1 .3 9 .
Approximately a third of the
workers earned less than $ 1 .0 5 , and three-fifths earned less than $ 1 .2 5 an
hour.
Hourly earnings in the Southeast and Middle Atlantic— the two major
regions— averaged $1. 14.and $ 1 .4 6 , respectively.
Earnings of workers in establishments primarily engaged in the manu­
facture of sport shirts, accounting for nearly three-fifths of the industry* s work
force, averaged $ 1 .2 4 an hour, compared with $ 1 .3 0 for workers in dress shirt
establishments and $1. 20 for workers in establishments primarily engaged in the
manufacture of nightwear.
Women employed as sewing machine operators accounted for nearly
three-fifths of the production workers in the industry and averaged $ 1 .2 5 an
hour. Among other occupations selected for study, averages ranged from $1. 06
an hour for women janitors to $2. 45 for men employed as hand cutters.
The
large majority of the workers were employed by establishments providing paid
holidays and vacations as well as various types of insurance plans.
Industry Characteristics
Establishments within scope of the survey employed an estimated 93, 190
production workers in May-ATune 1961— approximately the same as in April 1956
when the Bureau conducted a similar study in the industry. 2 At the time of the
current survey, more than half (53 percent) of the industry* s employment was
in the Southeast region and approximately a fourth in the Middle Atlantic region,
representing a continuation in the shift of the industry to the southern part of
the country. 3 As illustrated in table 1 and further described in the following
paragraphs, these two major regions differ substantially with respect to several
important industry characteristics including type of product, method of produc­
tion, and extent of union-contract coverage.
Nationwide, nearly three-fifths of the production workers were employed
in establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of sport shirts, a third

ers; in 1945, less than 20 percent.

in dress shirt plants, and nearly all of the remainder in plants primarily en­
gaged in the manufacture of nightwear (table 1). 4 Sport shirt manufacturers
accounted for three-fifths of the employment in the Southeast region, compared
with slightly more than half in the Middle Atlantic region. Establishments most
commonly limited their production to one type of garment; however, two-fifths
of the workers were in establishments manufacturing more than one type.
The progressive bundle system 5 was the predominant method of produc­
tion in establishments employing about three-fourths of the workers in the South­
east and more than one-half of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region.
Twofifths of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region, compared with about a fifth
in the Southeast, were employed by establishments prim arily using the regular
bundle system of production. Comparatively few workers were employed by e s ­
tablishments using the line system of production.
Approximately three-tenths of the workers were employed in m etro­
politan areas 6 in May—June 1961. The proportions differed, however, by region.
For example, about two-thirds of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region were
employed in metropolitan areas, whereas nine-tenths in the Southeast were in
nonmetropolitan areas.
Establishments with 250 or more workers accounted for about threefifths of the workers in the industry. In the Southeast region, two-thirds of the
workers were employed in establishments of this size, compared with about onehalf in the Middle Atlantic region.
Establishments with collective bargaining agreements covering a majority
of their workers employed slightly more than two-fifths of the workers in the in­
dustry. Four-fifths of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region were employed in
plants with such contract coverage, compared with nearly one-fifth in the Southeast.
Women accounted for approximately nine-tenths of the workers in both the
Middle Atlantic and Southeast regions, as well as in the industry as a whole.

4 Dress shirts are defined as shirts designed primarily for dress, street,
or business wear, having collar bands, neck sizes, and shirt tails, and made
from fabrics commonly used for dress shirts. Sport shirts are defined as shirts
designed primarily for sport, leisure, or casual wear, usually made with straight
bottoms, S—M—Lr—XL sizings, without collar bands, and made from other than
dress shirt fabrics.
5 Establishments were classified according to their major method of pro­
duction as follows: (1) Line System— an operation in which parts of garments
move down a line as each sewing-machine operator perform s a standard task on
a piece and then passes it on to the next operator, usually by means of a slide
board or chute, for further processing.
(2) Bundle System— an operation in which
bundles of garments or parts of garments are distributed to individual operators
who perform one or more operations on a number of identical pieces and r e ­
bundle the garments for movement to another operator. (3) Progressive Bundle
System— an operation in which the bundles of garments flow in a logical order of
work from operator to operator each performing one or two assigned tasks on
various pieces in the bundle. Since the procedure is standardized, the need for
checking in and reassigning the work, as under the bundle system, is eliminated.
6 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U. S. Bureau
of the Budget.



3

Earnings of four-fifths of the production workers were based on incentive
wage plans, usually individual piecework.
The proportion was slightly higher in
the Southeast than in the Middle Atlantic region.
The characteristics of the industry differed among States (table 2).
For
example, in Massachusetts and New York a majority of the workers were employed
in establishments located in metropolitan areas, manufacturing dress shirts, using
the bundle system of production, and having labor-management contracts.
In
South Carolina and Tennessee, on the other hand, a majority of the workers
were employed in establishments located in nonmetropolitan areas, manufacturing
sport shirts, using the progressive bundle system of production, and with none
or a minority of their workers covered by union contracts.
Average Hourly Earnings
Straight-time hourly earnings of production workers in the men* s and
boys1 shirt (except work shirts) and nightwear manufacturing industry averaged
$1. 26 an hour in May—June 1961. 7 The estimated 84, 346 women in the industry
averaged $ 1 .2 4 , compared with $ 1 .4 7 for the 8 ,8 4 4 men. Earnings of produc­
tion workers in the Southeast and Middle Atlantic regions averaged $1. 14 and
$ 1 .4 6 , respectively, and in the Border States, $ 1 .2 4 .
The highest regional
average earnings ($1 . 55) were recorded for the Pacific and the lowest ($1. 09) for
the Southwest region.
Information was developed separately for 13 States and 7 areas of
industry concentration (tables 11-30).
Averages above the national level were
recorded in five states— Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and
Pennsylvania; in the remainder of the States, averages ranged from 3 to 16 cents
below the industry average. A ll seven areas studied separately were in regions
outside the South and had averages above the national level, ranging from 7 cents
higher on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to 37 cents higher in New York City.
Nationwide, workers employed in plants primarily engaged in the manu­
facture of dress shirts averaged $1. 30 an hour, compared with $1. 24 for work­
ers in sport shirt plants and $1. 20 for workers in plants primarily manufacturing
nightwear. This wage-product relationship, however, varied within the two major
regions.
Thus, in the Middle Atlantic region, nearly identical averages were
recorded for the d r e s s sh irt and sp ort sh irt b ra n c h e s of the industry, w h e re a s
in the Southeast region workers in dress shirt plants averaged 10 cents an hour
more than those in sport shirt plants.
Method of production does not appear to be a highly
minant of wages in the industry. In the Middle Atlantic region,
using the bundle system averaged 7 cents an hour more than
using the progressive bundle system; in the Southeast region,
lationship was reversed, although the difference was less.

significant deter­

In both of the major regions, earnings in plants with 100 or more work­
ers averaged a few cents an hour more than those in the smaller plants.
The
wage difference between plants employing 100 to 249 workers and plants employing
250 or more workers was not significant in either of these two regions.

7
In October 1956, the date of an earlier Bureau study of the industry,
production workers1 earnings averaged $ 1 .2 1 an hour.
See Men1s and Boys1
Shirts (except Work Shirts) and Nightwear, February, April, and October 1956,
BLS Report 116.




4

In each of the regions for which comparisons could be made, average
hourly earnings were higher in metropolitan than in nonmetropolitan areas.
The
difference amounted to 21 cents in the Southeast ($ 1 .3 3 compared with $1. 12)
and 14 cents in the Middle Atlantic region ($ 1 .5 1 and $ 1 .3 7 ).
Where com ­
parisons could be made, w orkers1 earnings also were generally higher in estab­
lishments in which a majority of the workers were covered by labor-management
contracts than in establishments in which none or a minority were covered by
such contracts.
In considering the wage differences noted in the preceding paragraphs
and in the later discussion of occupational earnings, it must be emphasized that
it is not possible to isolate and measure the exact impact of any one of these
factors on earnings.
To illustrate their interrelationship, approximately threefourths of the workers in metropolitan areas were employed in plants with labormanagement contracts, whereas only slightly more than one-fourth of the workers
in nonmetropolitan areas were employed in union plants. Unionization also was
more prevalent in large than in small establishments.
Earnings of all but a small proportion of the production workers were
within a range of $1 to $ 2 .5 0 an hour in May—June 1961, when the Federal
minimum wage was $1 an hour8 (table 3).
In the earnings array, the middle
half of the workers earned between $1. 04 and $1. 39 an hour.
A third of the
workers earned less than $ 1 .0 5 , nearly half less than $1. 15, and three-fifths
less than $1. 25.
As indicated in the following tabulation, the proportions of
workers averaging less than these hourly amounts differed among the regions.

Occupational Earnings
The 20 occupational classifications for which data are presented in table 7
accounted for four-fifths of the production workers within the scope of the survey.
Nationwide, average hourly earnings among these jobs ranged from $ 1 .0 6 for

8
Effective September 3, 1961, the Federal minimum wage was raised from
$1 to $1. 15. The law establishing this rate applies to manufacturing establish­
ments engaged in interstate commerce. Under specified conditions, workers certi­
fied as learners or handicapped workers may be paid less than the legal minimum.

women janitors to $ 2 .4 5 for men employed as hand cutters.
Women sewing
machine operators accounted for nearly three-fifths of all production workers and
averaged $ 1 .2 5 an hour.
Among the other occupations in which women were
predominant, final inspectors (and thread trimmers) averaged $1. 14 and hand
finish pressers averaged $1. 31 an hour. Occupations, in addition to hand cutters,
in which men were predominant included machine cutters (averaging $ 1 .8 7 an
hour), sewing machine repairmen ($2 . 05), and spreaders ($ 1 .3 5 ).
Occupational earnings in the Middle Atlantic region generally averaged
from 10 to 30 cents above the national levels.
In the Southeast, a majority of
the occupational averages were from 5 to 20 cents below the national levels.
Among the States studied separately, highest occupational averages were usually
recorded in New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania, and lowest in Alabama
or Tennessee.
Occupational average earnings were generally higher in metropolitan
areas than in nonmetropolitan areas and in union establishments than in nonunion
establishments (table 8).
There was little consistency however, in the relation­
ship of occupational averages in the three establishm ent-size groups for which
data are shown (table 9). Workers paid on an incentive basis usually had higher
average earnings than those paid time rates (table 10).
Earnings of individuals performing similar tasks also varied within the
same labor market.
Largely because of the widespread use of incentive wage
system s, hourly earnings of the highest paid worker in many instances exceeded
those of the lowest paid worker in the same job and area by $1 or more.
Thus,
of the 777 women sewing machine operators in New York City (averaging $ 1 .6 6 ),
more than a tenth earned less than $1. 25 and more than a tenth earned $2. 20 or
more an hour.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on work schedules, minimum entrance and job
rates, and supplementary benefits,9 including paid holidays and vacations, retire­
ment plans, life insurance, sickness and accident insurance, hospitalization,
surgical and medical benefits, and nonproduction bonuses for production workers.
Minimum Wage R ates.
Established minimum entrance rates for tim e­
rated production workers were reported by 272 of the 290 plants visited.
Mini­
mum entrance rates of $1 an hour were in effect in more than nine-tenths of
these 272 plants at the time of the study. (See table 31.) In three-fifths of the
plants reporting both minimum entrance and job rates, 10 the two rates were
identical; in a tenth of the plants, the minimum job rate ranged from 5 to 10 cents
an hour higher than the minimum entrance rate and in nearly a sixth of the plants
from 15 to 20 cents higher.
In m ost of the remaining plants, the difference
amounted to more than 20 cents.
9 Many plants— particularly those having contractual agreements with
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of Am erica (A FL-CIO ), the major union
in the industry— contributed a specified percentage of their payrolls to a unionadministered fund from which employees receive numerous benefits including
life, disability, hospitalization, and surgical insurance; maternity benefits; and
retirement pensions. Such plans have been included in the tabulations.
10 For purposes of this study, minimum entrance and minimum job rates
relate to the lowest formal rates established for inexperienced and experienced
tim e-rated workers, respectively, in unskilled production and related occupations
except watchmen, apprentices, and handicapped and superannuated workers.




6

Scheduled Weekly Hours and Shift P ractices. Work schedules of 40 hours
a week were in effect in plants employing nine-tenths of the production workers.
The Middle Atlantic and Border regions were the only regions in which more than
10 percent of thei workers were scheduled to work less than 40 hours a week at
the time of the study (table 32). Fewer than 1 percent of the workers were em ­
ployed on second shifts in May—June 1961.
These workers most commonly r e ­
ceived the same rates of pay provided day-shift workers.
None of the plants
studied operated a third shift during the payroll period studied.
Paid Holidays.
Paid holidays were provided seven-tenths of the produc­
tion workers in the industry.
Virtually all of the workers in the Middle Atlantic
region were employed by establishments providing paid holidays— most commonly
7 days a year.
Half of the workers in the Southeast region received paid holi­
days, ranging from 1 to 7 days (table 33).
Paid Vacations. Paid vacations after qualifying periods of service were
provided by establishments employing four-fifths of the industry1s production
workers and by establishments employing virtually all of the workers in the
Middle Atlantic region and 71 percent of the workers in the Southeast region
(table 34).
Workers in the Middle Atlantic region typically received 2 weeks*
vacation pay after 1 or more years of service. Most commonly, workers in the
Southeast region received 1 week after 1 year of service and 2 weeks after
5 or more years.
Vacation provisions in excess of 2 weeks were not common
in the industry.
Health, Insurance, and Pension P lans. Life, hospitalization, and sur­
gical insurance, for which employers paid at least part of the cost, were availa­
ble to three-fourths of the production workers (table 35).
Sickness and accident
insurance was available to one-half and accidental death and dismemberment in­
surance to almost one-fourth of the workers. Provisions for each of these types
of insurance except accidental death and dismemberment were more prevalent in
the Middle Atlantic region than in the Southeast.
Pension plans, providing regular payments upon retirement for the r e ­
mainder of the worker*s life (other than benefits available under Federal OldAge, Survivors1, and Disability Insurance), were provided by establishments em ­
ploying two-fifths of the production workers in the industry, four-fifths in the
Middle Atlantic region, and about one-fifth in the Southeast.
Nonproduction Bonuses.
About 1 of every 6 workers was employed in an
establishment which provided a nonproduction bonus to a majority of its workers
(table 36).
These benefits were typically provided at Christmas or yearend.

Appendix A:

Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of Survey
The survey covered establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of m en 's,
youth's, and boys* shirts, including polo and sports shirts, collars, and nightwear, cut and
sewed from purchased woven or knit fabric (industry 2321 as defined in the 1957 edition of
the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the Bureau of the Budget). Estab­
lishments primarily engaged in manufacturing work shirts and knitting m ills primarily engaged
in manufacturing nightwear are classified ip industries 2328 and 2254, respectively, and there­
fore were excluded from the study.
Separate auxiliary units such as central offices also
were excluded.
The establishments studied were selected from those employing 20 or more workers
at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
as the number estimated to be within the scope of the survey during the payroll period studied,
are shown in the table on the following page.

Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists under the d irec­
tion of the Bureau's Assistant Regional Directors for Wages and Industrial Relations.
The
survey was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost,
a greater proportion of large than of sm all establishments was studied.
In combining the
data, however, all establishments were given their appropriate weight.
All estimates are
presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry group, excluding only
those below the minimum size at the time of reference of the universe data.

Establishment Definition
An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical loca­
tion where industrial operations are performed.
An establishment is not necessarily iden­
tical with the company, which may consist of one or more establishments.
Employment
The estimates of the number of workers within the scope of the study are intended
as a general guide to the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The
advance planning necessary to make a wage survey requires the use of lists of establishments
assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied.
Production Workers
The term "production workers, " as used in this report, includes working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions.
Administrative, executive,
professional and technical personnel, and force-account construction employees, who were
utilized as a separate work force on the fir m 's own properties, were excluded.

Occupations Selected for Study
Occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed
to take account of interestablishment and interarea variations in duties within the same job.
(See appendix B for these job descriptions. ) The occupations were chosen for their numerical
importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representativeness of the entire
job scale in the industry.
Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees,
handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers were not reported in the data
for selected occupations, but were included in the data for all production workers.

ance listings.
3 Includes executive, professional, office, and other workers excluded from the production-worker category
in the study.
4 Includes data for Mountain region in addition to those shown separately. Alaska and Hawaii were not in­
cluded in the study.
5 The New York City area is limited to the 5 boroughs.
6 The Troy area is defined as Albany and Rensselaer Counties, N.Y.
7 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget.
3 The Pottsville-Shamokin area is defined as Schuylkill, Northumberland, and Columbia Counties, Pa.
^ The Scranton and Wilkes-Barre—Hazleton area is defined as Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties, Pa.
10 The Eastern Shore area is defined as Dorchester, Kent, Somerset, and Wicomico Counties, Md.

Wage Data
The wage information relates to average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Incentive
payments, such as those resulting from piecework or production bonus systems and costof-living bonuses, were included as part of the w orkers1 regular pay; hut nonproduction bonus
payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
The hourly earnings of
salaried workers were obtained by dividing straight-time salary by normal rather than
actual hours. 11
11 Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers,
such as men, women, or production workers, were obtained by weighting each rate (or hourly
earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate.




47

Comparison With Other Statistics
The straight-tim e average hourly earnings presented in this report differ in concept
from the gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau's monthly hours and earn­
ings series.
Unlike the latter, the estimates presented here exclude premium pay for over­
time and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Average earnings were calculated
from the weighted data by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number of
individuals. In the monthly series, the sum of the man-hour totals reported by establishments
in the industry were divided into the reported payroll totals.
Size of Community
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
The term "metropolitan area, " as used in this report, refers to the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas established under the sponsorship of the U. S. Bureau of the Budget.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area is defined as a
county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least 1 city of 50, 000 inhabitants
or more.
Contiguous counties to the one containing such a city are included in a Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially m etro ­
politan in character and are socially and economically integrated with the central city.
In
New England, where the city and town are administratively more important than the county,
they are the units used in defining Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
Labor-Management Agreements
Separate wage data are presented where possible for establishments with (1) a m a ­
jority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts, and (Z) none or a
minority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits and practices were treated statistically on the basis that if
formal provisions for supplementary benefits and practices were applicable to half or more
of the production workers in an establishment, the practices or benefits were considered
applicable to all such workers.
Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were covered,
the practice or benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment.
Because of lengtho f-serv ice and other eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits
may be sm aller than estimated.
Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not
equal totals.
Minimum Rates.
Minimum entrance rates presented refer to the lowest formal
rate established for inexperienced tim e-rated workers in unskilled occupations.
Minimum
job rates refer to the lowest form al rate established for experienced tim e-rated workers
in unskilled occupations.
Watchmen, apprentices, handicapped, and superannuated workers
are excluded from each group.
Weekly Hours.
Data refer to the predominant work schedule for full-tim e produc­
tion workers employed on the day shift, regardless of sex.
Shift P ractices.
Data refer to the practices in establishments operating extra shifts
during the payroll period studied.
Paid Holidays.
provided annually.

Paid-holiday

provisions

relate

to full-day

and half-day holidays

Paid Vacations.
The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements,
excluding informal plans, whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em ­
ployer or the supervisor.
Payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a
payment of Z percent of annual earnings was considered the equivalent of 1 week's pay*
The periods of service for which data are presented were selected as representative of the
most common practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual establishment pro­
visions for progression.
For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 5 years of
service include changes in provisions which may have occurred after 4 years.




48

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans.
Data are presented for all health, insurance,
and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the* employer, excluding
only programs required by law, such as workm en^ compensation and social security. Among
the plans included are those underwritten by a com m ercial insurance company and those paid
directly by the employer from his current operating funds or from a fund set aside for
this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance.
Sickness and accident in­
surance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are
made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident disa­
bility.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes at
least a part of the cost.
Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are limited to formal plans which provide full
pay or a proportion of the worker’ s *pay during absence from work because of illness; in­
formal arrangements have been omitted.
Separate tabulations are provided according to
(l) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial
pay or a waiting- period.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of
doctors1 fees.
Such plans may be underwritten by a com m ercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be self-insured.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, in­
cludes the plans designed to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving an ex­
pense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide upon re tire ­
ment regular payments for the remainder of the worker’ s life.
Nonproduction Bonuses. Nonproduction bonuses are defined for this study as bonuses
that depend on factors other than the output of the individual worker or group of workers.
Plans that defer payments beyond 1 year were excluded.




Appendix B: Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions
for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to assist its field staff
in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who
are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different
work arrangements from establishment to establishment
and from area to area. This is essential in order to
permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing
comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupa­
tional content, the Bureau’ s job descriptions may differ
significantly from those in use in individual establishments
or those prepared for other purposes.
In applying these
job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are in­
structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices,
learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, p art-tim e,
temporary, and probationary workers.

CLICKER-MACHINE OPERATOR
(Beam-machine operator; clicker; clicker
press operator; pow er-press operator)

operator; die-cutting-machine operator; die-

to pressing or shipping.
Work involves determining whether the garments conform to
shop standards of quality, and marking defects such as dropped stitches, bad seam s, etc.
In many shops manufacturing inexpensive garments there will be no inspectors falling
within this classification; in such shops inspection is usually carried on together with
thread trimming. See inspector, final (and thread trimmer) and thread trimm er (cleaner).
