How to order custom pullover hoodies for my clothing brand?

Starting a pullover hoodie line with a private label manufacturer runs in six steps: positioning, fabric and weight, tech pack, first sample, fit revision, then bulk production.

Positioning comes first because a piece sold at a value price point should not follow the same development logic as a premium piece at three times the retail. That single decision sets fabric, construction, decoration budget and packaging.

The practical reference points: fabric options are 100% cotton fleece for premium streetwear positioning and cotton-poly fleece for repeatable shape and color; weight guidance is 280–400 GSM, with 380 GSM and above producing a structured, heavy hand; indicative FOB pricing sits in the $8–28+ range. Minimum order is 100 pieces per color per style, sampling takes 7–10 days and bulk production 30–45 days.

The most common mistake is starting with a broad first collection. A focused range of a few styles, produced properly, is what allows a reorder to be built on a proven specification.
