Accepted Answer

Quotation and specification on paperAfter we review your enquiry we issue a written quotation covering the item, the quantity, the unit price and the terms, so you have a document to compare and approve rather than a figure given verbally.Alongside the quotation, the specification records what will actually be produced: fabric and weight, colour, measurements or size chart, construction details, decoration, labels and packing. This is the reference both sides work to.Where a detail is not yet fixed, it is marked so it can be agreed before production rather than assumed. Price and terms are confirmed in the quotation, and any order is subject to the agreed contract.If your internal process needs a specific format, tell us and we will follow it where possible.Send your requirement list and we will prepare the quotation and the specification for your review.It is worth checking that the specification matches what you expect before approving, especially measurements, colour, decoration and packing, since those are the details checked during production.Quotation validity depends on material and freight costs at the time, so the current figures are confirmed when you place the order.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Reordering in a new colourwayA reorder can be placed in a different colourway. Because MOQ applies per style and per colour, a new colour is treated as its own order quantity, so it does not simply join the quantity of the original colour.The practical steps are to confirm the new colour against a swatch or a lab dip, approve it before production, and check that the chosen fabric is available in that colour. Some colours are supported from stock and others need dyeing.Where the style already exists, the pattern and specification carry over, so the new colourway moves more quickly once the colour is approved.Colour approval is the key step: approving on a screen is less reliable than approving a physical swatch, because screens and lighting vary.Send the style, the new colour and the quantity and we will confirm what is possible.Where a colour needs dyeing rather than being held in stock, a lab dip is usually approved first, so the final shade is agreed before bulk rather than discovered afterwards.Because the style and pattern already exist, the main planning work for a new colourway is the colour approval and the fabric check.

Accepted Answer

Drawstrings and side tapingCustom drawstrings, cords, cord tips and side taping can be added, and they are agreed with the specification so the same trims are used throughout the order.Taping is a construction detail rather than a surface print: it sits along the seam, so its width, colour and finish are agreed on the sample where the full length and the corners can be checked.Where a cord carries branding on the tips or the tape carries a woven logo, the artwork and material are checked for feasibility, since some custom trims carry a minimum quantity and a lead time of their own.These details form part of quality control, since alignment and attachment are checked before packing rather than after delivery.Send your references and the detail you want and we will confirm the options for your order.

Accepted Answer

After-sales supportIf delivered goods do not meet the agreed specification, tell us as soon as possible with photos and, where relevant, the carton and style references. We review the point against the approved sample and the inspection records, then agree with you how it will be resolved.Because the specification and approvals are documented, most questions can be settled by comparing the delivered goods with what was agreed before production. Where a correction or replacement is warranted, we agree the remedy and the timing with you in writing.For repeat clients we also review recurring points at the pattern or specification level, so the same issue does not return in the next production run.Remedy details depend on the actual case and are agreed with you rather than pre-set, and nothing is decided without reviewing the goods and the records.Contact us with the order reference and the details and we will start the review.It helps to raise a concern as soon as goods arrive, while the cartons and the packing list are still to hand, because that makes matching the issue to the order straightforward.Where a point relates to the specification rather than a one-off fault, we look at whether the specification itself should be adjusted for future runs.

Accepted Answer

MOQ for shortsOur standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style, per color. The minimum applies to each individual style you order, rather than being a total across a whole collection, so a brand can start with one design and still meet the requirement.Sizes can be mixed within one colorway to reach the minimum. For example, a single style and colour can be ordered as a spread of sizes such as S, M, L and XL totalling 100 pieces. Different colours are treated as separate orders, because each colour involves separate fabric or dye lots, separate cutting and separate setup.This structure exists to make small runs practical. Many factories require several hundred pieces per style, which forces young brands to tie up capital in inventory before they know what sells. A 100-piece minimum lets you test a design, gather real customer feedback and scale only what performs.If you are planning several styles, we confirm the minimum for each one in the written quotation and can suggest quantities that keep the first order efficient.

Question 6

We keep your patterns and specifications so that reorders match the original. How long they are retained is best agreed in writing for your account

Accepted Answer

How long we keep your patternsWe keep your patterns and specifications so that reorders match the original. How long they are retained is best agreed in writing for your account, and we are happy to work to a period that fits your own planning.Keeping the pattern allows a repeat order to be produced without re-developing the fit, which saves time and reduces the risk of small differences appearing between runs.If you would prefer your files not to be retained, we can return or delete them on request after an order, and the arrangement is confirmed with you rather than assumed.Where a design is exclusive, retention is tied to your agreement with us, so your material is not used for anyone else.Tell us your retention preference and we will confirm it in writing.Digital pattern files and the original specification are kept together, so a future order starts from the same reference and the fit does not drift between runs.If a fit was updated at any point, tell us before the reorder so the correct version of the pattern is used rather than an earlier one.

Accepted Answer

Mesh shorts for streetwear and sportMesh shorts for streetwear and sport can be produced, and the look usually depends on the mesh type, the lining and the side detailing as much as on the cut.Because a mesh shell is often lined, the two layers are specified together: the mesh determines the look and the lining determines the opacity and how the short feels against the skin.Side taping, panel splits and contrast trims are construction decisions, so they are agreed from a drawing or a reference and confirmed on the sample.Where a print or an embroidered logo is used, the mesh surface and its open structure affect how the decoration reads, so the method is chosen together with the fabric.Tell us the look and the material you are aiming for and we will confirm the options for your order.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Reorders: process and timingA reorder is normally simpler than a first order because the pattern, specification and approvals already exist. It still needs a fresh order confirmation, since MOQ applies per style and per colour and materials must be checked again for availability.To place a reorder, send the original style reference, the quantity by size and colour, and any changes you want. We confirm availability of the same fabric and the current price, then produce after your confirmation.Lead time for a reorder is usually shorter than the initial run because development is already complete, but it still depends on fabric availability and the workshop schedule at the time, which we confirm when you place the order.Planning early is the most reliable way to keep timing comfortable, especially ahead of peak season when capacity is booked further in advance.Send your reorder reference and quantities and we will confirm price and timing.Changes to decoration, labels or packing can usually be handled in a reorder, but it helps to state them clearly at the beginning so the specification and the price reflect them.Because materials are checked again, a reorder placed early in the season is easier to schedule than one placed when fabric is already committed elsewhere.

Accepted Answer

Mesh, nylon and fleece shortsMesh, nylon-style and fleece shorts can be produced, and each material gives a different character: mesh reads light and sporty, nylon-style fabric gives a crinkle or a sheen, and fleece feels warm and casual.The construction follows the material, because a mesh short is usually lined and finished differently from a fleece short, and the trims, waistband and hem are chosen to suit.Where the fabric is printed or carries a special finish, the decoration method and the material are considered together, since not every print route suits every fabric.Availability varies by colour and weight, so we check what can be sourced for your specification and confirm it at the quotation stage.Send your reference and the material you have in mind and we will confirm what can be produced.

Accepted Answer

Building a competitive product mixA competitive mix usually has a clear core, a few seasonal pieces, and accessories that lift average order value at low risk. We can help by mapping styles to categories and suggesting constructions that fit your price points.The practical approach is to define your entry-level, core and premium tiers, then confirm the fabric and construction that makes each tier credible. This keeps the range coherent instead of a random set of styles.Because our MOQ applies per style and per colour, a mix is planned style by style, so we can sequence the first order around the pieces that matter most to your launch.Any suggestion we give is general guidance based on what we produce rather than a guarantee of sales, and your own market data should lead the decision.Send your price points and categories and we will help structure the mix.Accessories and smaller items can also lift a range at modest cost, because they share branding and packing with the main styles and reduce the risk of a single product failing.Once the tiers are set, the first order can be sequenced so the highest-importance pieces are developed and produced first.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

Fabrics and lengths for custom shortsShorts can be produced in a range of fabrics, including cotton twill, fleece, mesh and nylon-style materials, and the fabric is usually decided together with the length and the intended use.Length is a design decision rather than a detail: a shorter inseam reads sportier while a longer one reads more like a casual or work short, and the rise and the leg opening also shape how the piece sits.Where the fabric is washed or garment-dyed, the handfeel and slightly the measurements change, so the tolerance is agreed after the wash test rather than before it.Fabric availability limits what is possible in a given colour, so we check what can be sourced for your specification and confirm it at the quotation stage.Tell us the look and the season you are targeting and we will confirm the fabric and length options for your order.

Accepted Answer

Styles that perform in US and EU streetwearAcross US and EU streetwear, the categories that recur are heavyweight tees, hoodies and sweatshirts, relaxed-fit bottoms, overshirts and simple accessories. These are recurring categories rather than a promise of performance in your particular market.What tends to separate success is the execution: fabric weight and handfeel, a fit that matches the brand's audience, durable decoration and consistent quality on reorder. Two brands can sell the same category with very different results.The practical way to test is to launch a small number of core pieces, see which resonate with your customers, and then reorder the winners rather than expanding the range too early.We can produce any of these categories to your specification; which will sell in your market depends on your customers and your positioning.Share your market and target price and we will suggest styles to consider.Testing in small quantities before a large commitment is usually cheaper than correcting an overstocked style afterwards. Launch a few pieces, read the response, then reorder what works.Execution details such as fabric weight, print durability and consistent sizing on reorder often matter more to repeat sales than the category itself.

Accepted Answer

Choosing what to stock next seasonWe can share what we see being produced across our client base and the construction details that recur, such as heavier cottons, relaxed and boxy fits, washed and garment-dyed finishes, and layered branding. The final buying decision rests on your own customers' data.The useful approach is to balance a small number of trend-led pieces with dependable core styles, so a trend that fades does not leave stock stranded. Your own sell-through, rather than our opinion, should drive volume.Because MOQ applies per style and per colour, it is usually better to test a new direction in one or two colourways, then reorder what works in the same colours or add new ones later.Any trend commentary we give is general observation and is not a forecast or a promise of sales; market conditions vary by region and by season.Tell us your target market and price point and we will suggest styles to consider.It also helps to agree which pieces are core and which are tests. Core styles can be planned in larger quantities, while a trend piece is often safer in one or two colourways at the minimum quantity.Because the same pattern supports a reorder, a piece that performs can be repeated quickly in the same colour or extended into new ones.

Accepted Answer

Supporting a full range launchWe can support a launch that needs more than one style. Because we produce tops, bottoms, outerwear and accessories, a first range can be developed as a set rather than as unrelated pieces from different suppliers.The practical way to start is a small development group, one or two pieces per category, so you confirm fit, fabric and branding before committing to the full range. This spreads development cost and time across several styles.Where you are launching, we can also sequence production so the styles you plan to sell first are completed first, spreading delivery across the season rather than concentrating everything into a single shipment.MOQ applies per style and per colour, so a range is planned style by style, and the exact structure is confirmed in your quotation.Send your range plan and we will confirm how to develop it.Planning the size curve early also helps, because a range that spans several categories needs a consistent fit language. Agreeing that on the first development pieces saves correction later.Delivery can be staggered across the season, which spreads cash flow and lets you react to early sales before the full range is committed.

Accepted Answer

Signing an NDA before productionWe can sign a non-disclosure agreement before reviewing your designs, tech packs or samples. This is common for brands with original artwork or proprietary fits, and it protects both sides before any order is placed.In practice, an NDA is usually agreed early, before we see sensitive material. If you have your own template we can review it, and otherwise a mutual agreement can be arranged.Beyond the signed document, confidentiality is handled day to day: access to your files is limited to the team working on the order, and patterns and artwork are used only for your production.If you need specific terms, for example around exclusivity, file retention or file return, raise them at the start so they can be included in writing.Send your NDA or your requirement and we will confirm how to proceed.File handling is part of the same conversation: tell us whether you want your designs and patterns returned to you, deleted after the order, or kept for future reorders, and we will confirm how it will be handled.Where you supply your own agreement, we review it before any sensitive material is exchanged, so the protection is in place from the first technical discussion.

Accepted Answer

OEM and ODM — what actually differsThe difference is who creates the product. In OEM you supply the design and we build to it exactly; in ODM we take part in creating the design, advising on fit, fabric and construction to suit your customers.This affects the starting documents: OEM usually begins with your tech pack or reference sample, while ODM can begin with a mood board, a brief, a target price and a few styles you like.It also affects development time and cost. ODM involves more of our development work up front, while OEM is more direct once your specification is clear. Both are quoted according to your project rather than from a standard sheet.Many clients mix the two, running standard styles through ODM to move quickly and signature pieces through OEM for exact control.Tell us how much of the design you want to keep in-house and we will confirm the route and the next steps.For either route, the clearer your starting information, the faster development moves. A short brief, a few reference images and a target price give us enough to quote and to propose a route.Projects often combine the two: existing styles can be adapted through ODM to save development time, while the pieces that define your brand are built through OEM for exact control.

Producing under your own brand and private labelProducing under your own brand and private label is a core part of what we do. Your brand can appear on the neck label, care label, hangtag, packaging and any woven patch or embroidery, so the finished garment arrives as your own.The practical steps are to agree the label content, the placement and the artwork, then confirm them on the sample before bulk. Approving labels early avoids surprises later in production.We keep your brand details and designs confidential, and access to your files can be limited to the team working on your order.If you are launching, we can develop a small range first so you can test the market before committing to a full collection, since MOQ applies per style and per colour.Send your brand and product brief and we will confirm how the private-label element can be handled for your order.Label content should also match the rules of the market you sell in, so care instructions and fibre content are printed correctly for your destination. Tell us the market when the labels are designed.Where several colourways share one label design, that usually simplifies approval. If labels change per colourway or per style, tell us at the quotation stage so it is planned into the order.

Accepted Answer

OEM and ODM servicesWe offer both OEM and ODM. In OEM, you bring the design, tech pack or reference sample and we manufacture to your specification. In ODM, we help develop the product itself, suggesting fabrics, fits and construction that suit your market.Most projects sit somewhere between the two, so the practical question is how much of the development you want to own. If you have a clear design, OEM keeps control with you; if you have a brand idea but no technical drawings, ODM moves it forward faster.Both routes run through the same process: brief, sampling, revision, approval, then bulk production with quality checks before shipping.A documented drawing, specification or reference sample is what allows either route to start, and we can help convert a sketch or a reference garment into a production-ready tech pack where needed.Tell us which route fits your project and we will confirm the next step.Deciding early which route you want keeps development efficient. If you plan to sell the design onward as your own, we recommend documenting the specification fully, so the product can be reproduced consistently in later seasons.If you are starting from a reference garment rather than a drawing, we can measure and analyse it and build a specification from that, which works for both OEM and ODM projects.

Accepted Answer

A manufacturer, not a trading companyWe are a direct apparel manufacturer with our own production base in Dongguan, China, and more than 20 years of experience. We are not a trading company that passes your order to an unknown third party.This means sampling, pattern making, production and quality control are handled by our own team, so technical questions are answered by the people who actually make the garments, and pricing comes directly from the factory.Direct manufacturing also makes custom work more practical: because we control the sample room and the pattern, changes to fit, fabric or decoration are handled within the same team rather than relayed between companies.Where a specialised process is needed, we work with vetted partners under our supervision, and we can explain which steps are completed in our own workshop and which are handled by partners.Send your project details and we will confirm how we would produce your order.Because production is under our own roof, communication is shorter: a technical question goes to the pattern maker or the line supervisor directly, rather than through a sales layer that has to check with a supplier.You are also welcome to visit the factory or arrange a video call to see the sample room and the production floor, and we can explain during that discussion which processes are completed by our team and which are handled by specialised partners.
