Standard production lead time is approximately 14 days. Actual lead time may vary depending on product type, order quantity, customization, material availability, sampling/approval requirements and the nature of the project. The confirmed production schedule will be agreed with the customer for each order.
Faster production in 7 days is possible on request. Complex products or very large orders (100,000 to 200,000 pieces) can take up to one month.
What comes on top
Time for the mockup, the tech pack and shipping comes on top of production. When your sample is made depends on the type you choose: a pre-paid sample before your order, a pre-production sample after your order and the 30% advance payment. See Which sample do I need?
Production in 7 days
A 7-day production is possible when these conditions are met. We confirm it with your quote.
- The fabric is in stock, or the product is a stock style from our B2B Collection. Fabrics ordered from a mill and custom-dyed colours cannot be rushed.
- You give your approvals within a day.
- Standard branding techniques are used.
- The quantity fits in one production slot, typically up to a few thousand pieces.
- Express shipping is arranged together with production.
Rush production and express shipping are quoted per order. Your quote shows the standard and the rush option side by side.
From brief to delivery
| Stage | Usual time |
|---|---|
| Digital mockup | 1–3 business days |
| Tech pack | 3 to 5 business days |
| Pre-paid sample | 5–7 days, plus courier |
| Production | approximately 14 days |
| Express shipping | 3–6 working days |
A first order typically needs five to seven weeks from brief to delivery. Reorders skip the development stages and take about three weeks.
Plan ahead
- For a first order, start seven weeks before you need the goods in hand. For a reorder, start three weeks before.
- For winter headwear, place first orders by late summer for an autumn launch.
- Booking a production slot with your quote holds the date.
- Large orders can be shipped in stages as batches are completed.
