Jeans are one of the most technical products a small brand can make. Fabric weight, stretch, fit, wash, and hardware all affect the result, and a small mistake on one of them can ruin an entire run. The good news is that small-batch denim is workable. We produce jeans from 200 pieces per color and style, with the preparation described below.
What MOQ means for jeans
The minimum applies per color and per style. Two washes of the same fit count as two colors, so a first order of 200 pieces means one fit in one wash. If you want multiple washes, plan quantity accordingly.
Decisions to make before you request a quote
1. Fabric. Specify the weight (in ounces), fiber content, and stretch level. Rigid denim, comfort stretch, and heavier fabrics behave differently in cutting, sewing, and washing.
2. Fit and size range. Include the rise, inseam, thigh, knee, and leg opening for the base size, plus how you want sizes graded.
3. Wash and finish. Provide a physical reference or clear photos. Wash results vary, so this detail is one of the most common causes of sample revisions.
4. Hardware and trims. Buttons, rivets, zippers, labels, and patches should be listed in the bill of materials with placement.
5. Construction details. Stitch type, topstitching color, pocket shape, and reinforcement points belong in the tech pack.
Why shrinkage and wash planning matter
Denim moves during washing. A tech pack should state the finished measurements after wash, and the sample process should confirm them. Skipping this step is how brands receive jeans that look right on paper and fit wrong on the body.
The sampling process
Expect a fit sample first, then a wash approval, because both need to be correct before bulk begins. A complete tech pack with measurements and wash references reduces the number of rounds, which saves time and sample cost.
