FAQ

Which companies make sportswear for brands in the USA? On this page: dasFlow (sublimated cut-and-sew, Florida), Expert Brand (private-label performance basics, Los Angeles) and TEG (activewear, Los Angeles). Each says on its own site that it makes apparel for other companies. dasFlow also uses a manufacturer in Colombia and TEG offers international production, so ask where your order is sewn.

What is the minimum order for private-label sportswear? Stated minimums here run from 10 pieces per style at TEG’s studio level to 500 per style recommended at Petratex. Expert Brand states 144 per style and color; A Supply 150 per color for ODM styles; YOUMEGA 100 sets for stock styles with your logo, or 300–500 pieces per style per color for full custom.

Are there sportswear factories in Europe that work with brands? Yes. This page lists A Supply in Lithuania, with factories in Lithuania and Moldova, and P&R Têxteis and Petratex in northern Portugal. P&R focuses on technical and competition wear, Petratex on fashion, sports and high-tech garments, and A Supply on sportswear, outdoor wear and ODM styles.

How long does sportswear production take? Stated times here: dasFlow at least 2–3 weeks after the final mockup in the US, or 6–8 weeks in Colombia; TEG 4–8 weeks at studio level; YOUMEGA 20–25 days for stock styles with your logo or 30–35 days for full custom, from order confirmation to leaving the factory. The others do not state a time on the pages we read.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM sportswear? OEM means the factory builds your own design from your tech pack or sample. ODM means you start from a style the factory has already developed and add your branding. A Supply offers ODM styles from 150 pieces per color; YOUMEGA offers both, at 300–500 pieces per style per color.

Should a new brand use a large or a small factory? It depends on your quantities. The large groups here, Gokaldas Exports, Interloop and Youngone, give no MOQ figure on the pages we read; Youngone calls its modular knit production “MOQ-Free”. Smaller makers state low minimums, such as TEG’s 10 per style at studio level. Ask whether a factory takes first orders at your size before paying for samples.
