Who we work with

Brands too small for the big factories, too serious for the small ones.

We are not trying to be everything to everyone. Three kinds of customers fit our floor, and we say no to the rest — that is why the first sample usually comes back right.

01

DTC menswear brands

USD 2–50M in revenue, 300–1,500 pcs per style. You know your fit and your fabric; you need a floor that hits both without a 3,000-piece commitment.

02

Made-to-measure & custom shirtmakers

Steady restock runs of 150–300 pcs. We cut to your existing patterns and never touch your customer list. Patterns and duplicates stay yours.

03

Private label & uniform programs

Repeat basic programs where the spec does not change and the delivery date cannot move. Consolidation across styles into one shipment.

Capabilities

Four constructions, done properly.

Woven only. We do not run knits, and we do not subcontract your order to whichever floor is free that month. Everything below is cut, sewn and finished on the same line.

Woven shirts

  • Button-down & point collar
  • Western / pearl-snap placket
  • Single-needle side seams

Five-pocket & chinos

  • Riveted stress points
  • Chain-stitched waistband
  • Twill, bedford cord, canvas

Overshirts & light outerwear

  • Chore coats & ranch jackets
  • Bar-tacked pleats
  • Custom snaps & rivets

Capsule programs

  • 3–6 styles on one fabric platform
  • Consolidated into one shipment
  • One dye lot across the range

Where it goes wrong elsewhere

Three things buyers ask us to fix.

Almost every brand that comes to us arrives with the same three complaints. They are not pricing complaints. They are specification complaints.

The fit is graded, not built

  • US blocks drafted from scratch, per style
  • POM sheet in cm and inch, side by side
  • Tolerance stated per point: ±6mm body, ±4mm collar
  • Grade rules reviewed with you before the first sample

The fabric moves after washing

  • Shrinkage tested over 3 wash cycles before bulk
  • ≤3% on cotton wovens, or we change the fabric
  • Lab dips in 7 days; you approve the dip, not a photo
  • One dye lot per colourway, held for restock

The labels fail at customs

  • 16 CFR 303 fibre content, 16 CFR 423 care labelling
  • US size sets and bilingual care symbols (ISO 3758)
  • Prop 65 statements where the component requires it
  • SGS / BV / Intertek testing at your nominated lab

The capsule

Three styles, one fabric platform.

Not a catalogue — a proof of capability. These three run on the same cotton base, in the same production window, and ship together. Cost sheets are quoted against your volume.

Questions we get asked

The six that matter before you commit.

If your question is not here, ask it directly — you will get a straight answer, including “no”.

What is the real minimum order?
300 pieces per colourway, per style. Fabric dyed to your colour is what sets that number, not sewing capacity. A first program of three styles in two colourways — 1,800 pieces — is the smallest full capsule we quote. Restock runs on an approved spec can go to 150 pieces.
Do you charge for samples, and is it credited back?
Yes, sampling is charged at cost: roughly USD 120–200 per style depending on fabric and construction, including pattern making and one fit revision. The full sampling charge is credited against the bulk order once it is placed. We do not do free samples — it is the fastest way to end up with a sample nobody intends to produce.
What are your payment terms?
30% deposit on order confirmation, 70% against the bill of lading copy. L/C at sight for orders above USD 50,000. We do not offer open credit terms to first-time customers; after three clean shipments we can discuss net 30.
Do you sell your own brand, or work with my competitors?
No house brand, and no reuse of your patterns. Tech packs, patterns, markers and duplicates remain your property, returned or destroyed at your instruction. We sign NDAs. If you need category exclusivity for a defined period, ask — it is negotiable on volume.
Can you handle US labelling and testing?
Yes. Fibre content and care labelling to 16 CFR 303 and 16 CFR 423, US size sets, ISO 3758 care symbols, Prop 65 statements where required. Testing runs through SGS, BV or Intertek at your nominated lab; we pre-test shrinkage, colourfastness and pH before bulk so a failure does not surface at the port.
What do you need from me to quote?
Ideal: a tech pack with a POM sheet and a fabric reference. Workable: a reference sample plus your target FOB and quantity — we will build the spec and quote against it. Either way, tell us the destination country and whether you need FOB, FCA or DDP.

Start here

Send one style. We will quote it line by line.

No brochure, no catalogue dump. Send the style you actually want made, and you will get a cost sheet broken down by fabric, trim, labour, packing and margin — the same sheet we would use internally.
