Planning to create your own denim line? Here are 5 key things every fashion brand should consider before ordering custom jeans or denim apparel from a manufacturer.
👖 1. Know Your Target Customer and Style
Before placing an order, get clear on:
- Who your denim is for — men, women, unisex?
- What style best fits your audience — slim fit, baggy, flare, wide-leg, etc.?
- What lifestyle do they lead — casual, workwear, streetwear, premium?
🎯 Having a clear customer profile helps you design more effectively and communicate your brand vision to the factory.
🧵 2. Choose the Right Fabric for Your Brand Identity
Fabric impacts both the feel and fit of your product. Your options include:
- Rigid 100% cotton denim — traditional and durable
- Stretch denim with elastane — comfortable and fitted
- Organic or recycled denim — sustainable and brand-friendly
- Lightweight denim — for shirts or summer styles
💡 At Guangxi Xinen Garment Co., Ltd., we offer fabric sourcing services tailored to your design needs.
📐 3. Clarify Fit, Specs, and Wash Details
The biggest issues brands face in custom denim production often come from unclear specifications. Be prepared to provide:
- Technical drawings or reference samples
- Measurements and size grading details
- Desired wash styles (stone-washed, acid, vintage, ripped, etc.)
- Stitching colors, rivet types, labels, tags, and trims
✏️ Don’t have tech packs? No problem — we can help you build your product specs with our experienced sample team.
📦 4. Understand MOQ and Production Timelines
Every denim factory has a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). Depending on your style and fabric, this may range from:
- 50-100 pieces per style (small brands)
- 500+ pieces for large-scale orders
Also consider:
- Sample lead time: 7–10 days
- Bulk production: 15-20 days (depending on order size and wash)
⏱️ Ask your supplier early about MOQs and production schedules to avoid delays.
🤝 5. Choose a Manufacturer That Understands Your Brand
Not all factories are the same. Look for a denim supplier who:
- Offers OEM & ODM service
- Can handle custom branding and packaging
- Communicates clearly and quickly
- Is willing to work with small quantities as you scale
