Sweatshirts
Crew and specialty sweatshirts for branded apparel programs that need clean silhouettes, reliable fleece quality, and decoration readiness. Asian manufacturing is managed with Canadian buyers in mind—sampling that locks construction details, and delivery into Canada planned around campaign calendars and wholesale receiving windows.
Sweatshirt buyers in Canada often need a quiet premium presentation: even fleece, neat shoulder seams, and labelling suited to retail or promotional channels. We coordinate care and brand labels, packing presentation, and carton identification for inbound Canada shipments. Reorder planning uses retained approved references so subsequent colourways and drops keep the same body measurements, rib match, and decoration placements that defined the first successful delivery.

MOQ notes
Minimums vary with fabric dyeing, colour count, and whether you are booking mill stock or developing exclusive shades. We discuss MOQs in context of your assortment—not as a published fixed threshold for every sweatshirt program.
Sampling
Fit samples establish body and sleeve proportions; pre-production samples confirm fabric, rib match, decoration, and finishing. Size sets are recommended when graded Canadian retail or wholesale curves matter.
Lead times
Schedules depend on fabric availability, colour development, decoration, order volume, and shipping into Canada. Indicative lead times are shared during quotation and refined after approvals—they remain estimates, not contractual calendar locks.
FAQ
Common questions
Sweatshirts typically focus on crew or specialty necks without hood construction, which can simplify some trim paths while still requiring the same fleece quality discipline. We treat them as distinct styles for pattern, sampling, and costing.
Yes. Many programs approve a blank body first, then layer decoration methods for different campaigns. Decoration approvals still need to be locked before each bulk run.
Oversized and relaxed fits can be developed when patterns and grading support them. Clear measurement charts and sample approvals are essential so Canadian retail expectations stay consistent.
Rib and body shade relationships are checked at sampling. If a mismatch appears, we resolve it through dyeing or component changes before bulk—not after goods ship to Canada.
Retail-ready packing can be specified, including hangtags and folded presentation. Standards should be defined early so factory packing lines and Canada receiving expectations align.
