The hardest part of launching an apparel brand is the first order. Most factories want volume before they will take you seriously, which pushes new brands into buying stock they cannot sell. Our floor is 50 pieces per colour and design, with the same fabric, the same sampling process and the same private label packaging as a 5,000-piece order.

| Placket | 3-button placket, reinforced |
| Collar | Ribbed knit collar, fused, optional tipping |

The sensible way to launch is 50 pieces in the colour you believe in, sell it, then scale the winner. Because we hold your pattern, dye recipe and label artwork on file, the reorder does not repeat the setup work — it goes straight to production.
FAQ
Q: What is your minimum order quantity?
A: 50 pieces per colour and design. Different colours can be combined in one purchase order.
Q: Is the price much higher at low MOQ?
A: Unit cost is higher at 50 pieces than at 1,000 because setup is spread over fewer garments. We quote both volumes so you can see the step.
Q: Can I increase the quantity after seeing the sample?
A: Yes. Many buyers approve the 7-day sample and then increase the bulk quantity before production starts.
Q: Can I split the MOQ across colours?
A: Yes. 50 pcs is the minimum per colour, and several colours can be combined on one purchase order — a common way to launch a range without over-committing.
Q: Can I order from your stock colour card to save time?
A: Yes. Stock colours skip the lab dip stage and shorten the timeline; custom dye from 50 pcs per colour is also available.
Q: How does the price change if I reorder at 500 pcs?
A: Unit cost drops as setup is spread over more garments. We quote both volumes at the start so you can see the step before you commit.
Q: What does the first order involve in cost terms?
A: Sample cost, which is credited against bulk, plus the bulk payment terms confirmed on your quotation. There is no separate tooling charge for standard pique styles.
