What is the minimum order quantity for custom sports jackets, and is it firm per style or color?

Most sports jacket manufacturers in our network start at 50 units per style per color, though some factories can flex down to 25 units depending on the construction and materials involved. The MOQ applies per combination - so a hooded sports jacket in three colorways would be quoted as three separate minimums. Your production team can negotiate adjustments once we match you with the right factory.

How much does a sports jacket sample cost, and how long does it take?

Sample cost and timeline are separate from your production run. A typical custom sports jacket sample takes 2-3 weeks once your brief and tech pack are finalized. Your production team handles sample coordination, revisions, and approval so you can evaluate fit, fabric hand, and decoration quality before committing to a full order.

What is the production lead time for sports jackets after sample approval?

Production lead time depends on complexity, quantity, and decoration methods. For example, a slim fit polyester sports jacket with sublimation graphics and woven labels typically runs 4-6 weeks after sample approval. Your production team tracks every milestone from fabric cutting through final quality inspection and shipment.

Do you offer tiered pricing for sports jackets at different order quantities?

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - unit cost drops as volume increases. Rather than publishing fixed prices, we return a detailed quote once you submit a brief with your specs, materials, and decoration requirements. This way the quote reflects your exact sports jacket design rather than a generic estimate.

What private label and white label options are available for custom sports jackets?

Private label scope covers woven labels at the neck and hem, custom hangtags, care labels, and branded packaging such as custom polybags, boxes, or mailers. You can bundle all branding elements into one order or add them a la carte. White label sports jackets - factory blanks ready for your branding - are also available if you want a faster path to market.

Can I source specific materials like recycled polyester or merino wool through THE/STUDIO?

Absolutely. You can start from a brief describing performance needs - moisture-wicking, temperature regulation, sustainability goals - and your production team will recommend options like recycled polyester (rPET), performance knit, merino wool, or standard polyester. If you already have a named-fabric tech pack, our manufacturing partners can source that exact textile and confirm availability before sampling.

Can you grade patterns from my own measurements instead of using stock templates?

Yes. Our factory partners offer custom pattern grading based on your proprietary size specs. Whether you need a raglan sports jacket graded across men's, women's, and boys' sizing or a slim fit silhouette with non-standard proportions, your production team works with the manufacturer to build the pattern set from your measurements - not generic templates.

Can I mix sizes and colors within one sports jacket MOQ?

You can mix sizes freely within a single style and color. Mixing colors within one MOQ is possible too, as long as each colorway meets the factory's per-color minimum. For instance, if your MOQ is 50 units of a crew neck sports jacket, you could split that across a full size run in one color, then order a second colorway at its own minimum. Your production team will lay out the most efficient size-color matrix for your order.
