What are the MOQs when working with gloves manufacturers through THE/STUDIO?

Most custom gloves start at MOQs between 50 and 150 units, depending on the factory, style, and construction. MOQs are set per style and per colorway, so a fingerless leather glove in black and a heated work glove in grey each count toward their own minimum. Your production team can brief factories to negotiate flexibility, especially for first runs or sampling phases.

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

Sample pricing depends on the complexity of the glove - a simple cotton glove sample costs less than a heated glove with technical components. Your production team sends you a quote once the brief is submitted. Sample turnaround is typically 10-15 business days, which is separate from the production lead time that follows after you approve the sample.

What is the production lead time for custom gloves?

Lead times generally fall between 3 and 6 weeks after sample approval. For example, a run of embroidered leather golf gloves in two colorways would typically land around 4-5 weeks. Your production team tracks every milestone from factory confirmation through shipment, so you always know where your drop stands.

Does pricing get better at higher quantities?

Yes. Tiered pricing is built into every quote, with break points at 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units. The more you order, the lower the per-unit cost. Submit a brief with your target quantity and your production team returns a detailed quote across the tiers so you can plan your drop budget.

Can I create private label or white label gloves with my own branding?

Absolutely. Private label and white label programs cover woven labels, hangtags, custom packaging, and embroidery of your logo. You can bundle everything together or choose items a la carte. Your production team specs each branding element in the tech pack so the factory delivers exactly what your brand needs.

Can you source specific materials like genuine leather, suede, or mesh panels for my gloves?

Yes. You can start from a brief describing the hand-feel and performance you want, or you can supply a tech pack naming specific materials - genuine leather, cotton, suede, mesh/air mesh, or a combination. Your production team matches your specs to the right manufacturing partners from our 1,500+ vetted factory network, including factories in China that specialize in glove construction.

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

Yes. If you provide your own size specs - finger length, palm width, wrist circumference - your production team builds a custom pattern and grades it across your full size run. You are not locked into stock templates, which is especially important for audiences like women, kids, and baby where fit varies significantly from standard adult sizing.

Can I mix sizes and colors within a single MOQ?

You can. As long as the total quantity meets the MOQ for that style, most manufacturers allow you to split across multiple sizes and colors within one production run. Your production team confirms the exact split options with the factory during the brief stage so there are no surprises.
