Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for custom raglan shirts, and is it firm?

Accepted Answer

MOQs are set per style and colorway, not across your entire order. The exact minimum depends on the factory matched to your brief - some of our 1,500+ vetted factories start lower for simpler specs. Your production team will confirm the MOQ when your brief is returned with a quote, and in many cases they can negotiate flexibility for first-run orders.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Sample cost and timeline are separate from your production run. Once your brief is submitted, your production team sources a pre-production sample so you can evaluate fit, fabric, and decoration before committing. Turnaround for a raglan shirt sample typically runs 2-3 weeks depending on complexity - for example, a two-tone crew neck raglan in cotton with embroidery may take slightly longer than a plain jersey knit version. Exact cost depends on materials and construction details.

Question 3

What is the production lead time for raglan shirts after sample approval?

Accepted Answer

After you approve your sample, production lead time generally falls in the 4-6 week range for a standard custom raglan shirt order. A short sleeve crew neck raglan in jersey knit with screen print and woven labels, for instance, would typically land around 4-5 weeks. More complex specs - like sublimation across the full garment or organic cotton sourcing - can push closer to 6 weeks. Your production team keeps you updated with tracking throughout.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing for raglan shirts at different quantities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points - 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - so your per-unit cost drops as volume increases. We never publish fixed unit prices because every raglan shirt brief is different. Submit your brief with your target quantity and your production team will return a detailed quote showing exactly how pricing scales at each tier.

Question 5

What private label options are available for custom raglan shirts?

Accepted Answer

Full private label and white label scope is available. That includes woven labels at the neck or hem, custom hangtags, branded packaging such as polybags, boxes, or mailers, and screen-printed care info inside the neck to replace standard care labels. You can bundle everything together or select items a la carte - your production team will spec it all in your tech pack.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Either approach works. If you have a named-fabric tech pack specifying cotton weight, jersey knit gauge, or a specific bamboo or organic cotton certification, your production team will match it. If you are starting from a brief - say, a soft breathable raglan for your next drop - they will recommend the right material from options like cotton, bamboo, jersey knit, or GOTS-capable organic cotton based on your goals.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your production team can build a custom pattern and grade it across your full size range using your own measurements. This is especially useful for raglan shirts where sleeve angle and shoulder seam placement differ from standard set-in-sleeve templates. Grading from your specs ensures consistent fit for men, women, or youth sizing.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within a single raglan shirt MOQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can split your order across multiple sizes and colors within one MOQ, which is great for launching a full size run or offering two-tone raglan colorways in a single drop. Your production team will confirm the per-color and per-size minimums set by the matched manufacturer so you can plan your assortment without placing separate orders.

Question 9

What decoration methods work best on raglan shirts?

Accepted Answer

The raglan construction gives you large uninterrupted chest and back panels that are ideal for screen print, sublimation, and embroidery. Screen print is best for bold spot-colour graphics, sublimation delivers permanent all-over dye prints across seams, and embroidery adds a premium stitched-thread feel for logos. Your production team can recommend the right method based on your artwork, fabric choice, and the look you are going for.
