What Makes a High Quality Sportswear Manufacturer Worth Working With

High quality sportswear manufacturer is really not proven by how a sample looks when it first comes out of the package. It is the more interesting test when someone wears it.

Under goes a sweat. Fabric One in the trousers often do for stretch Forceand the wearer moves, then is washed then repeats.

That‘s when you‘ll know if the merchandise was thoroughly tested and built true to form or just packaged to pass for sportswear.

The First 20 Minutes Tell You a Lot

Put the garment on and [do what it was created for].

Say something to yourself don‘t just stand there staring at a mirror.

Run in it. Train in it. Stretch in it. Fly your arms all around.

Before too long, smaller issues begin to appear.

A shirt may ride up gradually. The waistband can slip. Seams can begin to cause chafing. What was initially an acceptable T could suddenly become a heavy, damp mass after accepting sweat.

All of these present serious issues that cannot be seen from a photograph of the product.

This is why movement should be incorporated to some extent in product testing.

Wet Fabric Is a Different Story

One thing that is sometimes overlooked during development is what occurs once the garment gets wet.

A fabric can be comfortable to wear and appear lightweight when dry but appear heavy once saturated.

Also, some fabrics stay more tightly attached to the body while some stay more comfortably.

This however does not imply that one fabric exists that is suitable for any sportswear product.

The needs of a running shirt, it perhaps being a training top or compression garment and a casual athletic wear article, could be extremely varied.

The fabric needs to be appropriate (logical) for the activity and how the garment is intended to be worn.

Stretch Is Only Half the Question

Most often we hear the question, does the sports wear fabric stretch sufficiently?

That‘s important, but there‘s another question:

Does it recover?

Cextend and then bend the fabric back.

Repeated wear and washing can alter the shape of the garment if it does not return properly.

Girsova that it is most noticeable around waistbands, leggings, tight tops or hence other tight fitting items.

A piece that is really snug on the first day may not be the same after several months of ware.

Look at Where the Seams Sit

A seam doesn‘t have to be badly sewn in order to become a problem.

Sometimes the cause is just the position.

Any seam that is placed through an area of movement may cause friction. A poorly placed seam around the shoulder or underarm may restrict movement.

If it is a product meant for high activity, then in conjunction with the pattern the construction must be considered.

Here is one of the reasons why a manufacturer should be made aware of the-purpose-a piece of clothing is to be used for before manufacturing and not just to produce using a ‘shopping list’ of basic clothing.

Then Wash It

This is where some of the hits which looked to be promising at first glance disillusion from.

Wash the Clothe as per its aiming care guidelines and look at it once more.

Miss sized change?

Wheres the feel of the fabric?

Has the stretch eased?

Blood: Did the color change?

Is the print still viable?

Sorry, a too general question. The previous one was asking for any deformations after the pieces’ use when unloading. Now do the seams or panels move?

The washing of sportswear is not a occasional task (i.e. in 1-2 weeks). The customers are likely to wash their training clothes several times during 1 week.

It has to keep going in the face of that.

Performance Doesn’t Mean the Garment Has to Look Technical

There is demand for a less technical looking sportswear brand.

It all depends on what your brand is about. Some want a minimal, sleek style; but some are more street; and some needwear that they can go from thestreet tothe gym.

Performance requirements can be constructed into the product, that it won‘t appear as the conventional athletic product.

Maybe the solution is to “select a different fabric, modify the fit, alter the construction, or add a small functional detail rather than covering the whole garment in technology”.

The ultimate answer varies by product.

A Manufacturer Should Understand the Reason Behind the Design

This is where the importance of the manufacturing relation kicks in.

If you tell a factory that you want a lighter fabric there must be a reason for it.

This may be an article of clothing meant for running.

However, if you wish for larger stretch, maybe the user requires more range of motion.

If you desire a narrower waist line a certain ‘fit’ may be requested in order to stabilize the garment while exercising.

The more a manufacturer knows as to why the specification has been set, the more easily fit-for-purpose modifications may be made.

Don’t Make the Whole Collection at Once

There is no need to develop every product for a newly launching sports range.

Choose one style to be the second of the collection.

Develop it.

Wear it.

Wash it.

Edit the paragraph.

Then identify if the manufacturer can carry the next product forward.

This gives you a much better understanding of how the factory genuinely operates before you have all of the collection produced.

Where JiuvelWear Comes In

For brands developing custom sportswear, JiuvelWear, operated by Dongguan Jiuzuo Clothing Co., Ltd., can work with brand requirements covering fabrics, fit, construction, customization, sampling, and bulk production.

The real benefit isn‘t so much a backup factory, it gives you the ability to go from an idea to a concrete prototype, identify the issues, and then make those changes before going into mass manufacturing.

That is what you are ideally after in a quality sportswear manufacturer.

Not a single factory that just claims it‘s making excellent products. But a factory which can actually help you to find out whether the garment works when a person runs, trains, sweats, washes it and wears it again.
