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

MOQs vary by factory and complexity but typically start around 50 units per style and colorway. Some of our 1,500+ vetted factories offer lower minimums for first runs so you can test a new drop before scaling. Your production team will confirm the exact MOQ when you submit a brief.

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

Sample costs depend on the complexity of your design - materials like wool, vegan leather, denim, or fleece each carry different sample fees. Your dedicated production team will return a sample quote after reviewing your brief. Turnaround for a sample is usually 10-15 business days, and that timeline is separate from your full production lead time.

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

After sample approval, a standard windbreaker production run - say 250 units of a pullover style in fleece with embroidery and woven labels - generally takes 4-6 weeks. Lead times shift based on decoration methods, material availability, and order size. Your production team keeps you updated with tracking at every stage.

Do you offer tiered pricing for windbreakers at different quantities?

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points like 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - the more you order, the better the per-unit cost. We never promise to be the cheapest, but our manufacturing partners are vetted for quality and value. Submit a brief with your specs and your team will return a detailed quote across the tiers that apply.

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

Full private label scope is available. That includes woven labels, custom hangtags, custom buttons, screen-printed care info, and custom packaging such as branded boxes, polybags, or mailers. You can bundle everything into one brief or add items a la carte. White label windbreakers with your branding applied are also an option if you want a faster path to market.

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

Either approach works. You can submit a brief describing the look and feel you want - for example, a cropped windbreaker in vegan leather with a soft fleece lining - and your production team will source options from our factory network. Or you can provide a detailed tech pack with named fabrics and specs, and we will match you with the right manufacturer.

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

Absolutely. If you provide your own size specs, our factory partners will grade patterns to your exact measurements rather than relying on generic templates. This is especially useful for styles like slim fit or cropped windbreakers where fit is everything. Your production team will review the grading with you before samples are cut.

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

Yes. You can split your order across multiple sizes and colorways within one style, as long as the total meets the factory's MOQ. For example, a collared windbreaker with pockets could ship in a mix of four colors across a full size run. Specify your size and color breakdown in your brief and your team will confirm feasibility with the manufacturer.
