Cut and sew means your garment starts as fabric and a pattern, not as someone else's blank. Jiashun is a cut and sew manufacturer in Humen, Dongguan, operating from a 3,000 m² facility. Orders start from 50 pieces; the final minimum varies by product, fabric and customization. Simple samples typically take 10-18 working days after project details are confirmed; complex styles or processes take longer.
Every garment we ship is cut and sewn in-house from fabric we sourced against your spec — we do not print on bought-in blanks and we are not a trading company. If you are comparing cut and sew manufacturers, ask each one which steps happen inside their own building; the answer sorts the field quickly.
Typical buyer problems
This path connects the buyer scenario to product intent, customization details and manufacturing checkpoints before sending an inquiry.
How it works
Fabric is sourced to your spec, a pattern is cut to your fit, panels are sewn into your garment, and decoration, washing, labels and packing are applied to a product that exists only because you designed it. The alternative — decorating pre-made blanks — is faster and cheaper, but every blank-based product is someone else's garment with your print on it.
True boxy and oversized patterns instead of sized-up standard fits. Fabric weights the blank market does not stock — 300-500 gsm fleece, 250-300 gsm tees. Garment washes that need to be applied to a finished piece. Construction details: contrast panels, custom ribs, zip placements, lined hoods. And your own labels in a garment nobody else can order.
Cut and sew carries development that blanks skip: a paid sample, an MOQ starting at 50 pieces, and 20-30 working days of bulk production after sample approval. Sample pricing and the final minimum are confirmed after project review. If your expected volume or margin cannot carry a real garment cost, stay on blanks a little longer — the switch works best from proven demand.
A tech pack speeds things up, but most programs start from less: a reference garment, a size chart and artwork files are enough for design review. We build the missing specifications with you and lock everything on a physical sample before bulk — the sample is the contract, not the paperwork.
Design review and a formal quote after sufficient project details are confirmed. Fabric sourcing and pattern. Simple samples typically take 10-18 working days; complex styles or processes take longer. Your revisions move at your pace. Bulk takes 20-30 working days against the approved sample, with project-specific updates agreed before work begins. Shipping and trade terms are confirmed for the project and destination.
The numbers
Cut and sew is not better at everything — it is better at the things that make a brand defensible.
| Decision factor | Printed blanks | Cut and sew with us |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Fixed by the blank brand | Your pattern — boxy, cropped, stacked, anything you approve on a sample |
| Fabric | What the blank line stocks | Sourced to spec, 180-500 gsm, wash-compatible when the design needs it |
| Branding | Relabeling at best | Woven labels, prints, tags and packing built into the garment |
| Minimum | From 1 piece | MOQ starts at 50 pieces; the final minimum and colorway breakdown are confirmed after review |
| Time to product | Days | Simple sample 10-18 working days; complex work longer |
| Unit cost at 50-300 pcs | Lower | Higher — you are paying for a garment that did not exist before |
Recommended sourcing path
Print-on-demand, blanks and cut-and-sew compared — including when NOT to switch yet.
Most brands start cut-and-sew with a hero piece: a heavyweight hoodie, boxy tee or washed denim.

The garment is made from scratch: fabric is sourced to your spec, panels are cut from your pattern and sewn into your design. It is the opposite of decorating pre-made blanks — the fit, fabric, construction and labels are all yours.
MOQ starts at 50 pieces. The final minimum and colorway breakdown depend on the product, fabric, wash, and customization, and are confirmed at design review.
Simple samples typically take 10-18 working days after project details are confirmed; complex styles or processes take longer. Pricing, delivery and bulk unit prices are confirmed in the project quotation.
No. A reference garment, measurements and artwork are enough to begin design review; we build the missing specs with you. A finished tech pack speeds up quoting but is not a requirement.
When demand is proven at 50+ pieces per design, when the design needs fits, weights or washes the blank market cannot supply, or when relabeled blanks start hurting the brand's credibility. Before that point, blanks are the rational choice — and we say so.
Simple samples typically take 10-18 working days after project details are confirmed; complex styles or processes take longer. Bulk takes 20-30 working days after sample approval. Quotation, revision and delivery timing depend on the project and destination, so plan from the formal quotation.
Yes — printing, embroidery, patches, appliqué and garment washes are coordinated inside the same program, sequenced correctly and approved on the same sample.
