Build a clear sourcing path for custom apparel programs, whether you are launching a first drop or moving an existing clothing brand into repeat production.
Most of the brands we produce for started with a focused first collection. MOQ starts at 50 pieces, while the final quantity matrix is confirmed after project review.
Typical buyer problems
This path connects the buyer scenario to product intent, customization details and manufacturing checkpoints before sending an inquiry.
How it works
You need a factory, not a partner or an investor: one that reviews the brief before quoting and puts the approved specification on a physical sample before bulk. Vague minimums and quote-after-you-commit are how first collections die.
MOQ starts at 50 pieces, while the final minimum and design-and-colorway breakdown depend on the product, fabric, wash, and customization. Confirm the quantity matrix and sample plan in writing before treating the starting MOQ as the total order size.
Reference photos, a garment you like, target sizing and your artwork are enough to start design review. We build the missing specifications with you and lock everything on the sample. A tech pack speeds up quoting; the physical sample is what actually protects you.
Over-ordering an unproven design, skipping the sample to save development time and cost, choosing a factory on unit price alone, and launching too many colorways before demand is proven are avoidable first-collection mistakes.
The second order is where a factory relationship pays: approved samples become standing quality standards, patterns and fabric development are reused, and reorders can skip much of the development timeline.
The numbers
The numbers a startup brand actually plans around.
| Item | The numbers | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| One style, one colorway | MOQ starts at 50 pieces | Final minimum and size breakdown confirmed after review |
| Three-style capsule | Project-specific quantity matrix | Confirm each design and colorway before planning inventory |
| Sample per style | 10-15 working days; pricing and delivery confirmed after review | Approved sample locks fabric, fit and decoration before bulk |
| Bulk production | 20-30 working days after approval | Project-specific production updates agreed before work begins |
| First contact to stock | Nine to twelve weeks realistically | Plan the launch date backwards from this |
Recommended sourcing path
Use product categories to compare base garments, fits and decoration opportunities before sending a brief.
Turn your style direction, quantity, artwork, labels and packing needs into a quote-ready request.
Align sample approval, in-line review, final packing and export handover before bulk starts.
Share target styles, quantities, timeline and files so Jiashun can review feasibility.

Yes. New brands can start with reference photos, a tech pack, a sample garment or a clear product brief. Jiashun reviews feasibility before sampling.
Send style references, target quantity, fabric direction, fit notes, artwork files, label needs, packing requirements and your launch timeline.
Yes. A collection brief can include hoodies, tees, pants or sets, with each style reviewed for fabric, trim, artwork and production details.
Samples take 10-15 working days, with pricing and delivery confirmed after project review. Bulk unit prices depend on fabric, construction and decoration, and the final minimum and colorway breakdown are itemized in the quotation.
We are a factory, not a design studio — but design review is real work: we translate references into buildable specs, flag what will not survive production, and propose fabric and construction options. Your creative direction, our production engineering.
Yes — Humen, Dongguan, Guangdong. Project-specific production updates and useful checkpoints are agreed before work begins.
