Buyer Questions
Sports Bottoms Manufacturing FAQ
What types of sports bottoms can you manufacture?
We manufacture sports leggings, compression tights, training shorts, biker and compression shorts, joggers, sweatpants, track pants, sports skirts and skorts, and base layer bottoms.
What is the difference between leggings and compression tights?
Leggings cover a broad range of studio, fitness and lifestyle fits. Compression tights require a closer engineered fit with suitable recovery and controlled support. A tight garment is not automatically a compression garment.
Can you work from a tech pack or reference sample?
Yes. We can work from a tech pack, sketch or physical reference. Pattern development, fit adjustment, grading, fabric and branding can be included according to the project route.
Can I customize the waistband, pockets, rise and inseam?
Yes. These are core development variables. Final choices should match the target activity, fit, size range, fabric and intended customer.
What is the MOQ for custom sports bottoms?
The typical starting point is 100 pieces per SKU. Final minimums depend on fabric availability, custom dyeing, color allocation, decoration, trims and construction complexity.
How long does sampling take?
A stock-pattern sample is generally estimated at 5–7 days and a full-custom sample at 10–14 days. Custom Pantone dyeing may add around 3–4 days after details are confirmed.
Can you guarantee that leggings are squat-proof?
Coverage and opacity depend on fabric density, color, stretch, fit, size and construction. They should be evaluated on the approved sample rather than guaranteed from fiber content alone.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the product type, design or reference, fabric preference, target market, size range, colors, logo artwork, estimated quantity, packaging and required delivery date.
