What key factors to consider when ordering custom flannel shirts from an overseas manufacturer?
When ordering custom flannel shirts from an overseas manufacturer, focus on fabric weight (typically 140–200 GSM for flannel), cotton composition, plaid pattern alignment during cutting, button quality and durability, fit consistency across sizes, shrinkage testing, and the manufacturer's experience with woven shirt construction. These factors affect both the look and longevity of the finished product.
Key ordering checklist
- Fabric weight and composition — Brushed cotton flannel at 140–200 GSM with clear plaid registration.
- Pattern matching — Plaid lines must align at seams, pockets, and plackets for a premium finish.
- Button and trim quality — Durable buttons, reinforced buttonholes, and clean collar construction.
- Fit consistency — Oversized, regular, or slim fit with clear measurement specs for each size.
- Shrinkage control — Pre-shrunk fabric or washed garment to avoid post-purchase shrinkage.
- MOQ and sampling — Verify MOQ for your plaid pattern and colorway combinations.
