Is $225 usd expensive for a sweatpants sample? Need advice
Hey everyone, I’m currently developing my first pair of sweatpants for my clothing brand and wanted to get some opinions from people with manufacturing experience.
My manufacturer quoted me $225 USD shipped for 1 sample pair. The sweatpants are 420gsm heavyweight fleece with a custom printed design and a custom embroidered logo. For bulk production, the cost would be $26 USD per pair at an MOQ of 50 pcs.
I’m trying to figure out whether this is normal pricing or if I’m overpaying. For context:
Sample cost: $225 USD shipped for 1 pair
Bulk cost: $26 USD per pair (50 pcs MOQ)
420gsm heavyweight fleece
Custom print + custom embroidery
Premium style sweatpants
Does this seem expensive, reasonable, or cheap?Would really appreciate any insight because I’m still learning the manufacturing side of things. Thanks 🙏🙏
