Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

MOQs vary by factory and construction complexity, but most of our 1,500+ vetted factories start at 50 units per style per color for jackets. Some manufacturers offer lower minimums for simpler styles. Your production team will confirm the exact MOQ when you submit a brief, and they can help you find a factory match if you need flexibility on quantities.

Question 2

How much does a jacket sample cost, and how long does it take to receive one?

Accepted Answer

Sample cost and timeline depend on the complexity of your jacket design - a hooded fleece jacket is different from a structured wool coat with custom buttons. Typically, a first sample takes 2-4 weeks after your tech pack is finalized. Sample fees are quoted separately from production pricing when your brief is reviewed by the team. The sample stage is independent of your production lead time, so you can approve fit and materials before committing to a full run.

Question 3

What is the typical production lead time for a custom jacket order?

Accepted Answer

Production lead time for jackets generally runs 4-8 weeks after sample approval, depending on the factory, order size, and decoration methods. For example, a cropped denim jacket with embroidery and woven labels produced at a facility in Turkey might take around 6 weeks from approval to ship. Your production team tracks every milestone and keeps you updated throughout.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing for jackets at different quantities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points - 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - with per-unit cost decreasing as quantity increases. We never promise the lowest price, but our team negotiates competitive quotes from vetted manufacturers. Submit a brief with your jacket specs and target quantity, and your team will return a detailed quote across applicable tiers.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Full private label scope is available: woven labels, printed care labels, custom buttons, hangtags, and custom packaging including branded boxes, polybags, and mailers. You can bundle all branding elements into one production run or choose them a la carte. White label jackets are also an option if you want to start with an existing factory silhouette and add your own branding. Your production team handles the coordination across every detail.

Question 6

Can I source specific materials like vegan leather or wool, or do I need to provide a tech pack with named fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Both approaches work. You can submit a brief describing the look and feel you want - for example, a slim fit vegan leather jacket or a collared wool jacket - and your team will source material options from the factory network. Alternatively, if you already have a tech pack with named fabrics, GSM weights, or specific denim washes, the team will match those specs with a capable manufacturer. Materials commonly sourced for jackets include wool, vegan leather, denim, and fleece.

Question 7

Can you do custom pattern grading from my measurements instead of stock templates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your production team works from your specific measurements and fit specs, not generic stock patterns. Whether you need a cropped silhouette, a slim fit, or a relaxed hooded style, grading is built from your size chart. This ensures every size in your run reflects your brand's intended fit rather than a factory default.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within a single jacket MOQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most factories allow you to split your order across multiple sizes and colors within one MOQ, though there may be minimum quantities per colorway depending on the material - for instance, a custom-dyed fleece may require a higher per-color minimum than a standard denim wash. Outline your size and color breakdown in your brief and your production team will confirm the split with the factory before production begins.
