Before you sample

Build a Clear Sweat Shorts Specification

For heavyweight or baggy sweat shorts, start with length, rise and leg opening. Add fabric, waistband and pocket details to turn a visual reference into a useful production brief.

Fabric & GSM

Cotton, French terry, fleece and heavyweight fabric directions.

What to specify: Send your target composition, weight and hand feel, or explain whether you want a softer drape or a more structured shape.

Length & leg shape

Baggy and relaxed fits with custom length.

What to specify: Provide inseam, rise, leg opening and waist measurements, plus the size range. Show where you want the hem to sit.

Waistband & pockets

Elastic waist, drawcords, side and back pockets.

What to specify: Specify waistband height, drawcord details, pocket positions and whether the hem is finished or raw.

Finish & private label

Print, embroidery, washing, labels and packaging.

What to specify: Mark artwork placement relative to pockets and hems. Include the wash reference and brand-label requirements.

Before approving your sample

Check waistband comfort, rise, length, leg opening and pocket position. Review the hem, artwork placement and final washed appearance against your brief before approving production.

Keep the approved version and open changes clear with our sampling-to-bulk approval checklist.

Practical answers

Shorts Manufacturing FAQ

What is the MOQ for custom shorts?

Our standard MOQ for custom shorts starts at 200 pieces. Final MOQ may vary depending on fabric, colors, construction and customization requirements.

How long does sampling take for custom shorts?

Sample development typically takes around 5–7 days after the main product specifications are confirmed. Fabric availability, construction, washing and special finishes can affect the schedule; confirm timing for your design before planning a launch.

How long does bulk production take?

Bulk production typically takes around 25–30 days after sample approval and final production details are confirmed. Order quantity, fabric availability and process complexity can affect timing. Ask for a project-specific production and shipping schedule.

Can I split the starting MOQ across colors or styles?

Send the quantity breakdown for each style, color and size. Fabric, colors, construction and customization affect the final MOQ, so do not assume the starting quantity can be split across different designs. We review the breakdown before confirming a quote.

Can I start with reference images instead of a complete tech pack?

Yes. Send reference images or a product concept with your target quantity, fabric preferences and key measurements. The references start the discussion; fabric, fit, artwork, construction and branding specifications still need to be confirmed before sampling.

Can you make heavyweight sweat shorts?

Yes. Fabric weight, structure, fit and finishing can be customized around your project.

Can I customize the shorts length and fit?

Yes. Length, leg width, waistband, pockets and overall proportions can be adjusted.
