FAQ
55 questions
Ordering & MOQ
Quotation inputs, minimum order quantity and lead time.
What information is needed to start a quotation?
Send the product type, reference sample or tech pack, target fit and size range, fabric composition and weight, colours, artwork, labels, packaging, quantity by style and colour, destination and required arrival window. Mark any unknowns so alternatives can be priced separately.
Ask the quotation to distinguish sample fees, material minimums, decoration, testing, freight and payment terms. The final price and schedule depend on the approved specification and quantity breakdown. See the OEM buyer guide for a comparison checklist.
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no reliable single MOQ for every garment. The minimum may be set per style, colour, fabric order or decoration method. Custom dyeing, trims and printing can each introduce a separate material or processing minimum.
Share the style, fabric, colour count and target quantity, then request the minimum and price break for each option in writing. Ask whether sizes can be mixed within one colour and what happens if the final breakdown changes.
Sampling & Quality
Sample approval, quality control and inspection.
Can I approve a sample before bulk production?
Yes. Review a physical sample for fit, measurements, fabric, colour, seam construction, decoration, labels and packaging. Record corrections against a dated specification and request a revised sample where the change affects the finished garment.
Before bulk approval, identify the approved sample version and matching size chart, colour and material references. Changes after approval should be assessed for cost and timing before production proceeds. The sampling workflow explains the handoff.
Product & Customization
OEM/ODM, private label and the categories we develop.
Do you support OEM, ODM and private-label production?
OEM usually starts from your approved design or sample; ODM involves development from a brief with agreed design responsibilities. Private-label work may add logos, labels, trims and packaging to an approved product specification.
For each route, confirm who supplies patterns and artwork, who owns approved files, how revisions are authorised and which processes are handled at the stated site or by specialist partners. Feasibility, minimums and schedule depend on the garment and should be confirmed in the written quotation. Compare the OEM and ODM service pages.
Which product categories can be developed?
Current product references include golf apparel, athleisure, yoga wear, teamwear, T-shirts, casual tops, bottoms and board shorts. A catalog image shows a possible garment direction; it does not establish that every fabric, construction or decoration is available for immediate production.
Send the target style or tech pack, quantity and material requirements. The team can then assess development steps, sample needs and production fit for that specific brief. Browse the product catalog for examples.
Prepare the details behind your question
For MOQ or price, identify the style, fabric, colours and quantities. For timing, distinguish sample development, material preparation, production and transport. For testing, name the method or document your buyer requires.
FAQ answers provide general guidance. Your written quotation and approved order specification define the actual project terms. Keep sample revisions and approvals together so later decisions refer to the same version.
Review the sample approval process or packing and shipment preparation. If your question is project-specific, send the relevant references and requirements.
