r/ClothingStartups

So now that I started my clothing startup and have logos made and ready to get samples where is everyone getting samples my buddy told me use Alibaba but currently tariffs make the shipping crazy for samples currently in Arizona United States let me know what y'all are using for this? I'd appreciate any help

Hi everyone, I’ve just finished finalising everything for my brand, the website, offers and products. I just created the facebook and Instagram accounts.

Now, I have a way to sell and products to sell, how do I get people to visit my website and purchase t-shirts?

I’m currently developing a clothing drop for my streetwear brand, and I’m looking for a reliable manufacturer/vendor that can produce a high-quality custom zip-up hoodie.

I already have a detailed tech pack and artwork prepared, so I’m mainly looking for recommendations from people who have actually worked with manufacturers and can speak on their quality.

The hoodie is:

• Heavyweight oversized/streetwear fit
• Custom cut-and-sew construction
• Full zip
• Drawstrings + metal eyelets
• Premium heavyweight cotton/fleece
• Custom front/back graphics
• Custom labels/tags/branding
• Multiple sizes from XS–XXL

For anyone who has produced similar streetwear pieces, I’d really appreciate recommendations for manufacturers you’ve personally used.

Edit: For anyone wondering, I’m looking to produce around 50 units for this project since it is my first drop and I want to test the waters

Edit: I’m willing to bump my MOQ to 100 depending on the price point

Hiii,

I’m in the process of starting my own womenswear brand, I have the designs ready and I am looking for a manufacturer.
There are too many manufacturers I don’t even know where to start.

I have my designs/ sketches ready and I need someone who can work from reference photos and recreate the fit, fabric, construction and quality very closely.
Ideally a manufacturer that is willing to do small MOQ , source fabrics such as silk, cotton, linen and tencel modal.

i’m looking for a reliable clothing manufacturer in china for high-quality production at good prices.

i need someone who can work from reference products/photos and recreate the fit, fabric, construction and quality very closely.

shipping to europe is required.

manufacturers or anyone with a good contact, please dm me.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone based in the UK who can help me with sampling before I move on to bulk production.

For context, there are 4 designs and the fabric will be silk viscose with a silk lining. I already have the designs and tech packs ready, but need help with pattern cutting and producing the samples to test the fit, shape and sizing.

I also have the measurements, but would love some help finalising them across the three sizes I’ll be making.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Please only message if you’re based in the UK :)
