Frequently asked questions

What are your MOQs (minimum order quantities) for outerwear?

Our minimum order quantities (MOQs) start at 100 units per style/color. We work with trusted outerwear manufacturers in regions such as China, South Korea, Vietnam, Peru, Honduras, and the USA to ensure competitive pricing and manageable MOQs. By representing a diverse range of clients, we are able to negotiate lower MOQs and give your orders higher priority. While automated sourcing platforms may advertise low costs and MOQs, they often compromise on quality, ignore smaller brands, and make direct communication with manufacturers more difficult.

Where are your cut-and-sew manufacturers located?

Our outerwear cut-and-sew manufacturers are located in China, Honduras, Peru, South Korea, and Vietnam.

What are your lead times for outerwear manufacturing?

Lead times for outerwear manufacturing typically range from 14-20 days for sample production and 40-70 days for full production runs. These timelines can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the design, the specific capabilities of the manufacturers, and whether materials are sourced locally or internationally.

Do I communicate directly with the manufacturers, or do you handle the process?

We manage all communication with the manufacturers so you can focus on expanding your outerwear brand. While you’ll know the name of your cut-and-sew factory and our main point of contact, we take care of all interactions, ensuring the process is streamlined. This centralized communication approach increases efficiency by providing one single point of contact (MakeMine) for all your needs.

How do you vet the outerwear manufacturers you work with?

Our team of industry professionals personally meets with all of our outerwear manufacturers, conducting rigorous inspections and audits in partnership with QIMA (quality inspections). We ensure each factory upholds our high standards for craftsmanship and ethical practices before they are approved to work with us.

Do you charge for samples from your outerwear manufacturers?

We charge factory cost for samples when working with new customers, usually around $50 per sample. After a client has established a consistent order history, we may offer credit toward future orders when a purchase order is placed with the cut-and-sew factory.
