What is your production lead time for shorts?

Production lead time

Bulk production generally takes about three to four weeks after sample approval, depending on order quantity, fabric availability and the level of decoration such as printing, embroidery or washing. Sampling itself typically takes one to two weeks before that stage.

Lead time is best planned as a chain rather than a single number: sample approval, fabric preparation, cutting, sewing, finishing and packing each take time, and confirmation of the actual dates happens when the order is placed. If a fabric must be sourced or dyed to match, that step sits on the critical path and should be resolved early.

For brands working to a launch date, we recommend confirming specifications early, approving samples promptly and placing the bulk order as soon as approval is given. Where timing is tight, the order can sometimes be split into partial shipments so the first styles reach you sooner.

If you are launching several styles at once, we can sequence production so the styles you plan to sell first are completed first, spreading delivery across the season.
