Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions that reach us most often by phone, email and Instagram. If yours is not on the list, call us — we reply the same or the next business day.
What fabric are the T-shirts made from, and do they breathe well?
The fabric follows your specification, not our catalogue — for example cotton jersey at 160–180 g/m² for a T-shirt or three-end fleece at 320–350 g/m² for a sweatshirt. If you are not sure what suits you, we go through the options together before the sample is made.
Our budget is roughly €2,000. How many T-shirts can we get for that, and does the price differ between children's and adults' T-shirts?
A T-shirt is €6–12 per piece, depending on the fabric, weight, fit and print. That range and your budget give you an indicative number of pieces; we state the exact figure in the quote once we know the fabric and the print. A children's T-shirt uses less fabric, so the price does differ — we calculate the exact amount with the quote.
How many washes can a T-shirt take before the print starts to crack or fade?
It depends on the print technique, the fabric and how it's washed. We screen print in-house, and we test the fabric for shrinkage before the run. Tell us how the garment will be cared for and we'll take that into account when choosing the technique — and the sample shows you how it behaves before the run starts.
What is the minimum order quantity for a single style?
The minimum run is 100 t-shirts or 50 hoodies per style.
Does the minimum quantity apply to a single colour, or can it be split across several colours and sizes?
You can split the quantity across sizes however you like; that's standard. With colours it depends on the fabric — whether the shade is a stock colour or has to be dyed to order, and a dyed-to-order colour carries its own fabric minimum. Tell us which colours you're planning and you'll get an exact answer with the quote.
Do you source the fabric, or do we need to supply it?
We source the fabric. We have an established supplier network across Europe, certified for non-hazardous and organic fabrics. You specify the composition and weight, and we find the material and test it before it enters the run. We can also source to a specific requirement — yarn type, finish, weight, colour, origin. We're equally happy to work with suppliers you choose yourself.
Can you develop a fit from a photograph and a technical drawing?
We can. We review the technical drawing and the size chart, make the pattern and the grading across every size, then the sample. After your feedback we adjust the fit, and only then does it go into the run.
What does it cost to make a trial sample?
The price depends on the style and the number of operations — a hoodie with a kangaroo pocket is not the same job as a plain T-shirt. Send us a drawing or a piece and you get the sample price with the quote.
What would the indicative price per piece be for 100, 300 and 500 pieces?
We work from 100 t-shirts or 50 hoodies per style. The range is €6–12 per T-shirt and €15–30 per sweatshirt. The price per piece falls with quantity, because the pattern and the setup are paid for once and spread across the whole run.
Can you sew in our brand labels, as well as a label with the fabric composition, size and care instructions?
Yes, labelling is part of the job. Tell us in your inquiry whether you supply the labels or we source them, because it affects the lead time.
Is it possible to order the listed colours within the same production run?
Yes — running several colours in one order is standard, and we plan for it when sourcing the fabric. Tell us which colours and how many pieces per colour, and we'll tell you what's feasible in a single run.
What is the indicative lead time for the sample and then for the complete run?
Most often it is between 20 and 60 days, depending on how full production is and the size of the order. We fix the lead time in the quote, before the deposit. Tell us the date the goods have to be ready to be shipped — if we can't meet it, you'll hear that in our first reply.
Do you hold the relevant documentation and certificates for the fabrics you use?
We choose fabrics to your requirements, including certified fabrics when you ask for them. We request the documentation for the specific fabric from the supplier and pass it on with the run. If you need a particular certificate, state it at the outset — it affects both the fabric choice and the price.
I am interested in blank hoodies with a kangaroo pocket; so far I have been using 320–350 g/m² three-end fleece in five sizes. I am also interested in tracksuit bottoms in the same fabric; for the bottoms I have no style or pattern made, so I would like to know whether you also provide pattern making.
We do both. We make the hoodies to your existing fit, and for the tracksuit bottoms we cut a pattern from a drawing or a sample and grade it. Blanks are a standard order for us.
The lead time from the moment everything is ready for production matters a lot to me. How long is the wait?
Most often the lead time is between 20 and 60 days, depending on how full production is and the size of the order. So state the date the goods have to reach you right in your inquiry — the lead time goes into the quote and we fix it before the deposit.
How do you handle shipping and delivery?
We ship through established international freight forwarders and local courier companies. We send freight and forwarding costs within 48 to 72 hours of your inquiry.
Can you produce custom packaging?
We pack to your requirements. We can also produce custom packaging — send us the details and it goes into the quote.
