What each category actually involves

Every garment type has its own blocks, tolerances and failure points. Here's how we set up for each one.

01 · ACTIVEWEAR
Performance & athleisure

Activewear

Compression leggings, sports bras, running shorts and training tops. The category lives or dies on stretch recovery and seam comfort — so we cut on performance knits and close with flatlock and coverstitch rather than plain overlock.

Typical fabrics
Nylon/spandex, recycled poly interlock, brushed poly-spandex, mesh panels
Construction
Flatlock, coverstitch, bonded hems, elastic waistband insertion
Minimum
50 pcs per style, colour split available
Typical lead time
Sample 10–14 days · bulk 30–45 days
4-way stretchMoisture-wickingSquat-proof testingSublimation
02 · STREETWEAR
Drops & heavyweight basics

Streetwear

Hoodies, heavyweight tees, cargos and boxy crews. Weight and hand-feel are the product, so we spec GSM tightly, pre-shrink and pay real attention to print and embroidery placement on the finished body.

Typical fabrics
240–480 GSM French terry & fleece, 180–260 GSM jersey, ripstop, twill
Decoration
Screen, puff & water-based print, embroidery, woven labels, appliqué
Minimum
50 pcs per style
Typical lead time
Sample 7–12 days · bulk 25–40 days
Heavyweight fleeceBoxy & oversized blocksGarment dyeCustom trims
03 · KNITWEAR
Fully-fashioned & cut-and-sew

Knitwear

Sweaters, cardigans, knitted dresses and accessories. Programmed on flat-bed machines by gauge, with linking and washing done in-house — the two stages that decide whether a sweater holds its shape after wear.

Typical yarns
Merino, lambswool, cotton, cashmere blends, recycled acrylic
Gauges
3GG–12GG, fully-fashioned or cut-and-sew
Minimum
50 pcs per style (100 pcs on some fine-gauge programmes)
Typical lead time
Sample 14–21 days · bulk 45–60 days
Jacquard & intarsiaCable & ribLinkingYarn dyeing
04 · SWIM & LINGERIE
Fine cut-and-sew

Swimwear & Lingerie

Bikinis, one-pieces, bralettes and briefs. The tightest tolerances we work to: a few millimetres on an elastic changes the fit entirely, so grading and elastic tension are locked at sample stage and never improvised in bulk.

Typical fabrics
Recycled nylon-elastane, powernet, tricot lining, stretch lace
Construction
Bonded & bound seams, picot elastic, moulded cups, hardware
Minimum
50 pcs per style
Typical lead time
Sample 12–18 days · bulk 35–50 days
Chlorine-resistantFit-tested gradingLined throughoutOEKO-TEX options
05 · DENIM
Wash & finishing led

Denim

Jeans, jackets and skirts in rigid or stretch denim. The sewing is the easy half — the wash recipe, hardware and finishing are where denim is won, so we build a wash standard with you and match every bulk batch back to it.

Typical fabrics
10–14 oz rigid, comfort stretch, selvedge, organic cotton denim
Construction
Chain-stitch, felled seams, bar tacks, custom rivets & buttons
Minimum
50 pcs per style per wash
Typical lead time
Sample 14–21 days · bulk 45–60 days
Enzyme & stone washLaser whiskeringOzone finishingWash standards
06 · CHILDRENSWEAR
Compliance first

Childrenswear

Baby grows, kids' sets, tees and outerwear. Everything is built around safety rules rather than added after: no loose cords, pull-tested snaps, soft flat seams and trims chosen for the age band you're selling into.

Typical fabrics
Combed organic cotton jersey, ribs, brushed fleece, poplin
Compliance
Snap pull-testing, cord & drawstring rules, OEKO-TEX / CPSIA on request
Minimum
50 pcs per style across the size run

Lead times run from approved tech pack and confirmed fabric, and exclude shipping. Complex trims, custom fabric development or lab-dip approvals can extend bulk by 1–2 weeks — your quote states the committed dates.

How it runs

Same four stages, whatever you make

Your category decides the machinery and the checks. It doesn't change how we work with you.

01

Brief & quote

Send sketches, references or an existing tech pack. Costing and lead time back within 24 hours.

02

Tech pack & 3D

Category-correct specs, graded measurements and an optional 3D sample before fabric is cut.

03

Sampling

Proto to fit to PPS, with the fit and wash standards signed off in writing before bulk.

04

Bulk & QC

Production from 50 pieces with in-line and final inspection against your approved sample.

One partner, every stage

Whatever your category, the same team takes you from tech pack and 3D sample to proto, PPS and bulk — so nothing is lost in handoffs between vendors.

Industry FAQ

Common questions

Plenty do — an athleisure hoodie touches both activewear and streetwear. Tell us the piece and we'll route it to the line best equipped for its fabric and construction; you don't need to pick a category yourself.
Yes, for most categories, and you can split that across colours. Some fine-gauge knitwear programmes and heavily developed fabrics carry a higher minimum because the mill sets it — your quote always states the real number before you commit.
Yes. Most brands run tees, fleece and knit in one range. Production is coordinated across lines under a single project manager, with one set of dates and one point of contact.
They're the ranges we hit in normal conditions, counted from approved tech pack and confirmed fabric. Custom fabric development, lab dips and peak season push them out — we'd rather quote you a longer honest date than miss a shorter one.
Yes — our tech pack team builds category-correct specs, and the same file carries into sampling and bulk so nothing is re-created between stages.
Send it anyway. We take on wovens, outerwear, accessories and workwear regularly, and if it genuinely isn't a fit for our lines we'll say so rather than waste your development time.
