05 — Quality
Quality comes first
We treat quality as a fixed requirement rather than something that flexes with the price we are asked to hit. We prefer to supply a stronger garment at a comparable price instead of trimming the specification to chase a cheaper quote.
Material approval
Weight, color performance, handfeel and compliance signed off ahead of bulk cutting, not found out on arrival.
Cut and sew control
Alignment, construction accuracy and workmanship managed panel by panel along the line.
Checks during production
Problems identified while the run is ongoing, not picked out afterwards.
Pre-shipment audit
AQL 2.5 random inspection, results logged before the goods leave. Same benchmark on re-orders.
Best fit for
Special designs and special fabric requirements · Small orders with high quality · Large orders with low unit prices
Not ideal for
N/A
Factory view
Development and sampling
Styles are routed to a partner factory in the network by construction and trim complexity; counter samples are checked before bulk booking.
Bulk and in-line checks
Material confirmation, cutting, sewing and in-line inspection follow the same approved reference across the production window.
Finishing and despatch
Finishing, packing and final inspection close the run, with the approved sample kept as the baseline for repeat orders.
06 — Cost
What drives your unit price
Five variables decide almost every quote on this lane. Knowing them before you write in saves a full round of emails.
Fabric and GSM
Heavier cloth costs more per kilo and takes longer to sew. The GSM band you pick moves both price and lead time.
Quantity per style / color
Development cost spreads over more units. Below the threshold, setup charges dominate the unit price.
Decoration complexity
Each added operation — print, embroidery, wash — adds cost and another place for defects to appear.
Base selection
China quotes faster with a lower MOQ; Bangladesh wins on unit cost once a style repeats at volume.
Trims and packaging
Custom labels, drawcords, hangtags and branded polybags add sourcing time, sometimes more than the garment.
07 — Questions
Manufacturing FAQ
What jacket types can you manufacture?
We manufacture bombers, track jackets, windbreakers, coach jackets, and lightweight zip-up layers.
Can you add custom linings?
Yes. Mesh, taffeta, quilted padding, fleece lining, and contrast lining options can be developed.
Can you make matching sets?
Yes. Jackets can be developed with joggers, shorts, track pants, or activewear pieces.
What is the minimum order quantity?
China production starts from 500 pcs per style/color. The exact figure is confirmed against your shell fabric, lining, trims and decoration, because a lined bomber and an unlined coach jacket carry very different setup requirements. Bangladesh production is planned from 3000 pcs per style/color.
How long does sampling take?
Most samples take 7-10 days after the tech pack, fabric direction, and measurements are confirmed.
What quality standards do you hold?
Quality is treated as a precondition rather than a variable. Fabric quality, color performance, handfeel and compliance are approved before bulk cutting, workmanship is controlled while production is running, and finished goods are inspected to AQL 2.5 before shipment. Materials can be sourced to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 requirements where your market requires it, and the same checks apply to first orders and repeat orders.
Which decoration methods can you apply?
Screen print, puff print, embroidery, applique, heat transfer, DTG, sublimation, garment and enzyme wash, tie-dye, rhinestone, reflective print, embossing and jacquard, plus rib trims, custom zippers and private labels. We flag the cost and lead time impact of each before quoting.
