How to order custom workwear and denim sets for my brand?

Starting a workwear set 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 duck canvas for the most rugged set and heavy cotton twill as a lighter alternative; weight guidance is 12 oz canvas is the reference for a workwear-led set, with lighter twills for a fashion-utility version; indicative FOB pricing sits in the $15–60+ per piece, with the set costed as two 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.
