Questions Brands Ask.

General
We work in low MOQ, small batches — every spec is quoted individually based on your style count and processes, so reach out and we'll confirm numbers for your project.
A pre-production sample typically ships in 7 days from a confirmed tech pack.
Yes — duties paid, delivered to your door across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
No. Your designs are never shown or shared, and an NDA is available on request.
Heavyweight knits, garment washing, vintage fades, distressing, printing and embroidery — all under one roof, across our own mill, dye house and sewing floor.
Low MOQ
There's no fixed number we publish — every quote is individual based on your style count and processes. Tell us your project and we'll confirm numbers.
Yes — small batch, single-style orders are welcome, especially to test a new design before committing further.
Pricing is quoted individually based on your real specs — ask for numbers at both a small batch and a larger quantity to compare.
No — small batches go through the same mill, dye house, sewing floor and QC process as larger orders.
A pre-production sample in 7 days, bulk in 25 — the same timeline regardless of batch size.
Yes — many brands start with a small batch and scale up repeat orders as the style proves out.
Process
Typically 7 days to sample, 25 days to bulk from a confirmed tech pack — reorders of a proven style ship in 15 days.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means duties and customs clearance are handled for you — your order arrives at your door with nothing left to pay.
Minor changes can usually be accommodated before bulk starts — let us know as early as possible.
No — a clear reference image or an existing garment works too. We'll help fill in the spec.
Finished units are inspected against AQL sampling standards before they're packed and shipped.
Quality
Every style is tested in our dye house and measured against a shrinkage and color fastness spec before bulk production — see current figures above.
Our own QC team inspects in-line and at final stage; third-party inspection can also be arranged on request.
Failed units are reworked or replaced before shipping — we don't ship a batch that doesn't meet spec.
Yes, full inspection reports are available on request.
Certification details are listed above and can be confirmed with your quote.
Heritage
We're a factory group — our own mill, dye house and sewing floor. We don't subcontract production to third parties.
Over 30 years as a family-owned manufacturer.
Yes, factory visits can be arranged — reach out through Start a Project to set one up.
Yes — alongside the United States, we export to Canada, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
Yes. The mill, dye house and sewing floor are all part of the same family-owned group, not separate vendors.
Tees
Most streetwear brands land between 220–300 GSM for a boxy, substantial feel without being too stiff — we'll help you dial in GSM for your specific fit.
Yes — the same 180–400 GSM jersey can be cut into regular, boxy or oversized blocks.
Yes, every fit block is graded proportionally across your full size range before bulk cutting.
Yes — all of our finishing processes (wash, vintage fade, distressing, printing) apply to our tee base.
A pre-production sample typically ships in 7 days from a confirmed tech pack.
Low MOQ, small batches welcome — every quote is individual based on your style count and finishes.
Hoodies
Loopback keeps an uncut loop texture inside and breathes better; brushed fleece is combed into a soft nap for extra warmth. Both can be built heavyweight.
Yes — garment dye, acid, snow, stone and enzyme washes all apply to our hoodie builds.
Yes, both constructions are available in the same fleece and weight options.
Yes — distressing is graded D1–D5 and commonly applied to hems, cuffs and seams on hoodies.
A pre-production sample typically ships in 7 days from a confirmed tech pack.

Underwear
Yes — we develop custom jacquard waistbands with your logo or branding, not printed or heat-pressed.

C-01 — Heavyweight
Generally anything above 200 GSM. We knit from 180 up to 400 GSM depending on the drape and durability you want.
Yes — send your target GSM or a reference swatch and we'll knit to match before we cut your sample.
Shrinkage is tested and controlled in our dye house regardless of weight — ask for your style's shrinkage spec with your quote.
Yes. Heavyweight knits hold prints, embroidery and garment washing better than lightweight fabric, not worse.
Low MOQ, small batches welcome — every quote is individual, so tell us your style count and we'll confirm numbers.
A pre-production sample typically ships in 7 days from a confirmed tech pack.
C-02 — Washed
Yes — send a reference photo or swatch and we'll run a lab-dip before committing to bulk.
Yes, which is why every wash recipe is tested and measured against a shrinkage spec before bulk production.
Yes, we can split a cutting lot across multiple wash recipes for the same style.
Yes — fabric dyeing colors the raw fabric before cutting; garment washing treats the finished, sewn piece, which gives a softer, more lived-in result.
A washed pre-production sample typically ships in 7 days from a confirmed tech pack and wash reference.
Low MOQ, small batches welcome — every wash recipe is quoted individually once we know your style and quantity.
C-03 — Vintage
Yes — send us the reference piece or photos and we'll match the fade placement and intensity.
Fade zones are placed consistently, but like real vintage, some natural variation between pieces is part of the look.
Our heavyweight knits are built to hold up to fading treatments — we grade and reinforce as needed so the garment stays durable.
Yes — many brands fade first, then apply a cracked or aged print on top for a more worn-in graphic.
A pre-production sample with your fade treatment typically ships in 7 days from a confirmed reference.
Low MOQ, small batches welcome — tell us your style and quantity and we'll confirm numbers with your quote.
C-04 — Destroyed
It's our internal scale from D1 (light fraying) to D5 (heavy, multi-point shredding) so every batch matches the same intensity.
No — distressed areas are reinforced underneath during construction, so the damage stays where you designed it.
Yes — send photos or a physical reference and we'll mark placement and grade to match.
Yes — most distressed styles are also garment-washed and printed in the same production run.

Low MOQ, small batches welcome — every quote is individual based on your style count and grade.
C-05 — Printed
DTG and DTF typically have the lowest minimums for full-color art; screen printing gets more cost-efficient at higher volumes.
We wash-test every print before bulk production specifically to catch that — approved prints are built to hold their texture.
Yes — our prints are tested on the actual finished fabric, including garment-washed and distressed pieces.
Yes, alongside DTG, DTF, screen, puff and crackle printing — all tested to survive the wash.
A pre-production sample with your print typically ships in 7 days from confirmed artwork.
Low MOQ, small batches welcome — every print job is quoted individually based on method, colors and quantity.
C-06 — Oversized
