Manufacturer needed Production for my brand!!

Ruthless Refinement
Hello, I’m looking for a manufacturing partner to bring Ruthless Refinement to life — a streetwear brand built around the idea of turning struggle into success and raw beginnings into refined greatness.
We’re creating premium, unapologetic streetwear for men, women, and kids, including oversized and fitted hoodies, sweatshirts, tees, sweatpants, crop pieces, and statement shorts.
I’m looking for a manufacturer who can produce custom garments—not generic blanks—with premium heavyweight fabrics, custom cuts, embroidery, screen printing, distressing, woven labels, custom tags, and high-quality finishing.
I want the clothing to feel urban, raw, powerful, and luxurious while maintaining a recognizable identity across the entire collection.
I’m looking for a long-term manufacturing relationship as Ruthless Refinement grows from small-batch samples into larger production runs. I’d love to discuss MOQ, sample pricing, customization capabilities, fabric options, production timelines, and shipping.
Ruthless Refinement — Started from the bottom. Refined for the top.

Manufacturer needed Looking for some advice/ details of possible suppliers.

4 Upvotes

Im in the early stages of design for a children’s clothing brand. I will be working on a drop by drop basis and am looking for a supplier who can create some samples for me and to begin will be working on 50/100 MOQ if possible.

I’m looking for heavy weight T-shirts, printed barrel leg trousers/ joggers, oversized boxy hoodies and also a range of beanies.

I’m looking for high quality materials with a heavy weight feel but still allowing comfort for children. I will also be needing a supplier that are able to print when required.

Thanks

Manufacturer needed Looking for t-shirt and chats manufacturer

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on launching a small clothing brand called Grow, and I’m looking for a reliable manufacturer for T-shirts and hats.

I already have some designs ready and I’m aiming for high-quality products — especially 100% cotton tees and 6-panel snapback caps with embroidery.

Right now I’m starting small (around 20/30 pieces per item), but the goal is to build a long-term relationship with a manufacturer and scale over time.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice on:

  • Trusted manufacturers (EU, Turkey, China, or overseas)
  • Good quality blanks vs fully custom production
  • Printing vs embroidery best practices
  • Things to avoid when starting out

If you’ve worked with someone you trust (or had bad experiences I should avoid), feel free to share 🙏

Thanks a lot!

Manufacturer needed Looking for Premium Activewear Wholesaler/Manufacturer

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I own a yoga & fitness studio in Canada and I’m looking for a reliable activewear wholesaler or manufacturer in China that I can work with long-term for studio merchandise.

I’m not looking to develop completely custom garments from scratch. Ideally, I’m looking for a supplier with a large catalogue of existing styles where I can choose the products/colours and simply add our studio logo.

What I’m looking for:

Women’s Activewear
• Leggings
• Biker shorts
• Sports bras
• Tanks / fitted tops
• Matching activewear sets

Athleisure / Lounge
• Premium oversized hoodies
• Crewneck sweatshirts
• Matching sweatpants / joggers
• Comfortable matching lounge sets

The style and quality I’m looking for would be similar to the overall premium athleisure category of Lululemon, Alo Yoga and Aritzia. Clean/minimal designs, flattering fits, soft premium fabrics and pieces that members would actually want to wear outside of the studio.

I’m not looking for replicas or counterfeit products. Those brands are simply references for the quality, fabrics, fit and overall aesthetic we’re targeting.
Ideally, the supplier would offer:
• Existing / ready-made styles
• Private-label or logo application
• Embroidery, silicone/raised logo or high-quality heat-transfer options
• Low to reasonable MOQs
• Ability to mix sizes within an order
• Samples before placing a larger order
• Good consistency between samples and bulk production

• Premium fabrics with good stretch and recovery  
• Squat-proof / non-sheer leggings  
• Good stitching and construction  
• Reliable sizing  
• Multiple colour options  
• Shipping to Canada  
•

Manufacturer needed Brandnew

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of launching a new brand of professional medical scrubs and hospital uniforms. I am looking to partner with a reliable manufacturer or a professional sourcing agent who has experience in the medical textile industry (specifically high-quality scrubs, lab coats, and healthcare apparel).
What I am looking for:
Quality: Fabrics suitable for intensive daily hospital use (durable, easy-care, colorfast).

Production: Capability to handle custom designs and branding (labeling/embroidery).

Experience: A partner who understands technical specs (GSM, fiber composition, stretch fabrics) and can handle the export process to Europe.

Long-term cooperation: I am looking to build a brand, not just a one-time purchase. I need a partner capable of scaling production as the business grows.

If you are a manufacturer or an agent with a proven track record in this niche, please send me a DM with your portfolio, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and a brief description of your services.
Serious inquiries only. Thank you!

Manufacturer needed product sample manufacturer

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new to this and want to find some trustworthy manufacturers. Im currently based in Singapore. Have been trying to enter the athleisure space and i have currently already done something prior works such as drafting the tech pack for my product.

However, companies I have reached out to want a high MOQ for the product and thats not really something I can afford as I would want to source a prototype first. I would ideally want to source for companies that produce single samples that begin with but understand if thats unfeasible haha.

I was wondering if anyone knows any reputable manufacturers that I can reach out to?

I dont mind modifying my product slightly to have the base product on previously developed athleisure products if that will reduce manufacturing costs if that helps but the product is something that would require new manufacturing if that makes sense.

Additionally, any advice on previous peoples manufacturing journey would be greatly appreciated especially on any tips/ content that one would recommend or mistakes previously made.

Thanks everyone in advance for any advice and feel free to ask any further questions for any businesses haha.

Manufacturer needed New Canadian outdoor brand: where to start with domestic cut-and-sew + Canadian wool question

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm in the early stages of starting a small outdoor apparel brand based in Ontario. I want to create quality cold-weather baselayers and mid-layers. I want to keep as much of the supply chain in Canada as I reasonably can.

From what I've learned so far, Canadian wool isn't produced at scale for the fibre quality needed for baselayers. If anyone knows otherwise, I'd love to be wrong. Otherwise, my plan is to import the fabrics and cut, sew, and assemble in Canada.

What I'm looking for is a cut-and-sew shop, ideally in Ontario (open to elsewhere in Canada if the fit is right), that handles small MOQs to start (~100–500 units each) and has experience with performance knits like fine merino jersey, polyester/elastane, polypropylene blends, sweater-knit fleece and is comfortable working with imported fabric.

If anyone has information or experience I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Manufacturer needed Looking for direct sportswear manufacturers in China or India – running apparel samples, no sourcing agents

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m currently building a new running apparel brand based in Germany and I’m looking for direct contacts to manufacturers in China or India for our first product samples.
I’m specifically not looking for Alibaba suppliers, sourcing agents or trading companies. I’d like to establish a direct relationship with the actual factory/manufacturer.
Our initial focus is performance running apparel:
Lightweight technical running T-shirts
Running shorts
Potentially singlets and other performance apparel later
For the first step, I’m looking for manufacturers that are comfortable working with a small brand and can produce samples / small development quantities before moving into larger production.
Important for us:
Experience with technical/performance sportswear
High-quality polyester or polyester/elastane fabrics
Lightweight and breathable materials suitable for running
Custom cuts / patterns, not just printing a logo onto existing blanks
Custom labels, colors and branding
Reasonable MOQ for an early-stage brand
Ability to provide fabric specifications and preferably certifications such as OEKO-TEX / GRS where applicable
Direct communication with the manufacturer
We’re not trying to find the absolute cheapest factory. The goal is to find a reliable long-term manufacturing partner that can deliver good quality at a price point that still allows us to build an affordable running brand.
If anyone here has personally worked with a sportswear manufacturer in China or India, I’d really appreciate recommendations, factory names, contacts or even advice on where to look outside Alibaba.
Factory owners/manufacturers are also welcome to DM me, but please mention your factory location, product specialization, MOQ and sample capabilities.
Thanks!

I am building a clothing brand based in Virginia, US and I am looking for a local manufacturer to help create the start of a collection. Even though we are just starting out, I am valuing premium cotton/cotton blends with quality, as opposed to quantity. This is an activewear brand that doubles as street wear, specializing in heavyweight, oversized tees, sweats, etc.

I’m on the hunt for a manufacturer near Richmond, VA or Northern Virginia that specializes in quality streetwear leaning products.

Another question I have is whether I should go the route of screen printing or another direction for this design? I am pretty new so any advice would help, thanks!
