  • Custom performance tracksuits are built from four decisions: fabric and weight, construction and trims, decoration, and the private label pack.

  • Custom performance tracksuits commonly fall in the costed as a set, driven by fabric technology, lining and branding per unit FOB range. Within that band, technical fabrics and test requirements sit above a plain fleece set. A unit price quoted without fabric weight, construction details, decoration method and order volume is not comparable across suppliers.What moves the number:Fabric — performan...

  • VANRD's minimum order quantity for custom performance tracksuits is 100 pieces per color per style. It is a per-color minimum rather than a per-order minimum, so a two-color program starts at 200 pieces and a four-color program at 400. Sizes can be mixed inside a colorway as long as the total for that color reaches 100.The minimum exists because performance tracksuits carry setup costs that a basi...

  • Choosing a manufacturer for custom performance tracksuits comes down to four checks: category experience, specification control, evidence, and commercial fit.Category experience.

  • Choosing a manufacturer for custom nylon tracksuits comes down to four checks: category experience, specification control, evidence, and commercial fit.Category experience.

  • Choosing a manufacturer for custom hooded sweaters comes down to four checks: category experience, specification control, evidence, and commercial fit.Category experience.

  • Fleece gives warmth and a heavier hand; nylon at 180–250 GSM gives a lighter, cooler set with a technical surface.What that means in practice: Fleece tracksuits are a season decision as much as a fabric decision. A 400 GSM fleece set is genuinely too warm for a spring drop, and buying one weight for two seasons is how brands end up discounting stock they cannot move.Fabric and weight reference for...

  • On a denim jacket, the wash program is the customization decision that matters most. Two jackets cut from the same 12 oz denim in the same pattern, one rinsed and one heavily distressed, are not the same product — they carry different price points, different hand, and they appeal to different customers. Fit and hardware decide whether the jacket is well made; the wash decides what it is.Denim weig...
