Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom men's knitwear orders?

A: The standard MOQ is 300 units per style, which can be split across up to three colorways (minimum 100 units per color). For custom-spun specialty yarns like pure cashmere, the MOQ is 200 units per style.

Q: How do you ensure consistent sizing across bulk production runs?

A: All panels are knitted to shape (fully fashioned) rather than cut from fabric rolls. Dimensions are checked against client-approved specification sheets at three stages: post-linking, post-washing/blocking, and final ironing. Tolerance limits are strictly maintained at +/- 1.5cm for chest width and body length.

Q: Can you match specific Pantone colors for our seasonal collection?

A: Yes. Lab dips are developed within 5 working days using either cotton or wool yarn blanks. Bulk production commences only after receiving written color approval under D65 artificial daylight source.

Q: What quality verifications do you provide for bulk production?

A: All raw materials and finished lots undergo stringent physical testing, including pilling resistance, burst strength, and color fastness evaluations, accompanied by detailed inspection reports prior to dispatch.

Q: What is the standard production lead time for bulk orders?

A: Standard manufacturing lead time ranges from 30 to 45 days following the sign-off of pre-production samples (PPS) and receipt of the deposit. Exact schedules depend on yarn availability and total order volume.

Q: How are finished garments packed for international shipping?

A: Each sweater is folded with tissue support to prevent crease lines, packed individually into a 0.04mm recyclable polyethylene polybag with a size sticker, and bulk-packed into 5-ply double-wall corrugated master cartons protected by waterproof internal liners.
