Question 1

What are the MOQs for custom windbreaker jackets, and are they firm per style or color?

Accepted Answer

Most windbreaker jacket manufacturers in our network start at 50 units per style per color, though some factories can go as low as 25 units depending on fabric and decoration complexity. MOQs are set per colorway and per style, so a lined windbreaker in three colors would count as three separate minimums. Your production team can negotiate flexibility once a brief is submitted.

Question 2

How much does a windbreaker sample cost and how long does it take, separate from production?

Accepted Answer

Sample cost and timeline depend on the factory and the complexity of your windbreaker design - for example, a hooded windbreaker with custom buttons and embroidery will differ from a basic collared style. Typically, a development sample takes 10-15 business days after your tech pack is approved. Sample fees are quoted individually when you submit your brief; they are separate from your production lead time and often credited back on a full production run.

Question 3

What is the typical production lead time for windbreaker jackets?

Accepted Answer

After sample approval, production lead time for a custom windbreaker jacket generally runs 4-8 weeks. For example, a cropped fleece-lined windbreaker with screen print graphics and woven labels would sit closer to the 6-8 week range, while a simpler slim fit style with embroidery only might land around 4-5 weeks. Your production team tracks every milestone so you can plan your drop confidently.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing for windbreaker orders 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 volume increases. Rather than publishing fixed prices, we return a detailed quote once you submit a brief with your specs, materials, and decoration choices. This way the quote reflects your exact windbreaker design rather than a generic estimate.

Question 5

What does private label and white label scope include - woven labels, hangtags, packaging?

Accepted Answer

Private label windbreaker programs can include woven labels, screen-printed care info, custom buttons, hangtags, and custom packaging such as branded boxes, polybags, or mailers. These are available bundled or a la carte depending on what your brand needs. White label options are also available if you want to start with a factory-ready base and add only your branding elements.

Question 6

Can you source materials from a brief, or do I need a tech pack with named fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Either approach works. If you have a tech pack specifying exact fabrics - say a particular weight of wool or a specific vegan leather - your production team will source to match. If you are earlier in development, you can submit a brief describing the hand-feel, weight, and performance you want, and the team will pull swatches from the factory's available materials, including options like denim, fleece, wool, and vegan leather.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our manufacturing partners grade patterns from your custom size specs rather than defaulting to stock templates. Whether you need a slim fit run graded across men's, women's, or boys' sizing, your production team builds the graded spec sheet and confirms fit with your development sample before production begins.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within one MOQ for a windbreaker order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can distribute your total order across multiple sizes and colors within one MOQ, as long as per-color minimums are met. For example, a 100-unit order of hooded windbreakers could be split across three colors and a full size run. Your production team will help you build a size-color matrix that keeps the factory efficient and your inventory balanced.
