I’m starting or growing an activewear brand. Where should I begin?regular seamless fabric?
You do not need to start by browsing hundreds of products. We usually begin with five things: who you sell to, where you sell, your price level, the style you want to build, and your launch timeline. From there, we can help narrow the product range, recommend suitable fabrics and customization levels, and build a more focused first collection. For a new brand, our priority is usually to help you test the market with less inventory risk, then develop more customized products as your sales become clearer.

Can you help me choose products instead of just sending a full catalogue?
Yes. In fact, this is often more useful than sending a large catalogue. If you tell us your target customer, market, sales channel, preferred brands, price range and style direction, we can recommend a smaller group of products that fits your business. We can also help organize them into a collection by activity, color story, fabric feel, price point and styling combination. Our goal is not to show you more products — it is to help you make better product decisions faster.

What is the difference between ready-to-ship, semi-custom and full custom production?
We normally divide projects into several levels. Ready-to-ship + branding is the fastest and lowest-risk option for testing. Existing fabric / existing construction customization gives you more flexibility with style, labels and branding while keeping MOQ more manageable. Custom colors usually require a higher quantity because fabrics or yarns need to be dyed specifically for the project. Full custom development may include fabric, pattern, construction, trims and packaging and is better suited to brands with clearer sales volume and longer-term product plans. We recommend the level based on your stage — not simply the most expensive option.

What are your MOQs, and why do they change between products?
MOQ depends on how much of the product is being customized. Ready-to-ship styles with your logo can usually start from very small quantities. Cut-and-sew custom styles are typically around 150–200 pcs per style/color, while custom seamless colors are often around 600 pcs per color. Fully customized fabrics may require approximately 1,200 pcs or more, depending on the fabric and mill requirements. The reason is not only sewing capacity — fabric dyeing, yarn production, cutting loss, machine setup and trim production all have minimum economic quantities. We will explain the reason before asking you to commit.

Can you make a product from my sketch, reference image or AI design?
Yes, but we first review whether the design can be translated into a stable production product. A visual design may look simple on screen but involve challenges in fabric stretch, pattern structure, seams, trims, support, logo placement or MOQ. We normally break the design into workable components, recommend suitable fabrics and construction, then develop the pattern and sample. If part of the original design is not commercially practical, we will explain the trade-off and suggest an alternative rather than simply saying “yes” and creating problems later.

What does GSM mean, and does a heavier fabric always mean better quality?
GSM means grams per square meter and describes fabric weight, but higher GSM does not automatically mean higher quality. Two fabrics with similar GSM can feel and perform very differently because of yarn quality, knitting structure, finishing and elastane content. For activewear, we normally evaluate GSM together with opacity, compression, recovery, softness and intended use.
Leggings may often fall around 220–260gsm, while stronger sculpting or seamless gym products can be heavier. We recommend the weight based on the product’s purpose instead of simply choosing the thickest fabric.

How does your sample development process work?
Sampling is not only for checking whether a garment “looks good.” It is where we confirm fabric, fit, measurements, construction, logo, color, trims and overall product direction before bulk production. A typical custom sample takes around 7–10 days for simpler developments, while more complex custom products may take longer. Sample fees are usually around US$80–100, depending on the project. After you receive the sample, we collect structured feedback and separate production mistakes from new design changes, so revisions are clear and the approved sample can become the reference for bulk production.

How do you control quality before shipment?
We use quality control throughout the process rather than relying only on a final inspection. We check key points such as fabric and color, measurements, stitching, logo position, workmanship, labels, quantity and packaging, and compare bulk production with the approved sample and specifications. If an issue is found, we document it, assess the quantity and cause, arrange correction where possible and recheck before shipment. Quality control does not mean promising that manufacturing will never have defects — it means having a clear system to find, record, correct and prevent problems before they reach your customer.
