Key production numbers
Custom jeans programs can start from 50 units per style, subject to denim, wash and hardware review. Denim weights from 12-16 oz cover most streetwear and fashion programs. Sample development is typically targeted within 15 days after the specification is approved, with wash and finish options confirmed during sampling.
Fit options include straight, slim, wide, relaxed and bootcut silhouettes; waist sizes from 28-40 or custom grading. Hardware — buttons, rivets and zippers — can be customised against the approved sample.
Denim weight: 12 oz vs 14 oz vs 16 oz
Lighter weights (12-13 oz) drape easily and suit summer styles and skirts; mid weights (14 oz) are the most common range for everyday jeans with good structure; heavier weights (15-16 oz) hold sharp silhouettes and are favoured by raw-denim and premium streetwear programs.
Weight is only one variable. Fabric composition (100% cotton vs stretch blends), weave, surface and wash behaviour matter as much. A stretch denim can feel closer-fitting at a lower nominal weight than a rigid cotton at the same weight.
Wash and finish options
Common finishes include stone wash, enzyme wash, acid wash, garment dye and aged washes. Each changes the surface, hand and colour in different ways: stone wash softens and fades, enzyme wash gives a smooth aged surface, acid wash creates irregular lightened patches, and garment dye produces deeper colour penetration on seams and pocket linings.
Washes are evaluated during sampling once the denim direction is agreed. Wash effects can be controlled with recipe, time and load; expect colour and effect to vary slightly between batches — agree on acceptable ranges before bulk.
Fit development
Develop the silhouette through a measurement chart: rise, thigh, knee, hem, waistband, pocket placement and back rise. Straight, slim, wide, relaxed and bootcut directions can all be developed; sample measurement review confirms the fit before production.
A fit sample is the milestone. Measure the sample against the chart, wear-test where possible, and confirm tolerance for key points. Version-control the chart so production references the approved release.
Hardware and branding
Custom buttons, rivets, zippers, waistband labels, patches and pocket linings can be specified. Hardware finish options include copper, silver, antique and custom-colour directions.
Branding also includes woven or printed labels, hangtags, tissue, stickers and packaging. Keep the hardware and branding consistent with the rest of the collection for a coordinated private-label finish.
MOQ and sampling
Starting quantities can be discussed from 50 units per style, with the final minimum confirmed after the denim, wash and hardware review. Wash development and hardware sourcing may affect both MOQ and lead time.
Sample development is targeted within 15 days after specification approval. Provide reference measurements, wash references and hardware preferences to shorten the sampling loop.
