What we make
Pick the fabric, the weight and the trims; the factory built for it quotes. Matching sets in one brief are fine.
Zips and metal trims are often imported into India. Confirm them before the sample so they don’t hold up bulk.
Where it’s made
Fleece is a knit, so it follows the knit clusters. Heavier winter pieces can sit with the winter cluster.

Typical cut, make and trim
$10–20 per piece

Where the factory price goes
Share of FOB, market ranges from published industry sources. They won’t total exactly 100% on any one style. Fabric moves your price more than any haggling on the making charge.

Typical cut, make and trim is $10–20 per hoodie before fabric. Our calculator estimates $14.00–$24.00 per piece ex-factory at 300–500 pieces with a mid fabric. These are estimates; the factory quotes after reading your brief.
Plan 3–5 weeks for sampling, then 12–16 weeks from approved sample to goods shipped on a first order, and 8–10 weeks on a repeat.
Diwali (October or November, date moves every year) closes most factories for 1–2 weeks; the monsoon (June to September) slows dyeing.
Yes. Zips and other metal hardware are often imported into India, which adds cost and a lead-time dependency. Name the zip in the brief and confirm it before the sample, so bulk isn’t waiting on it.
