Construction moves the price of a streetwear jacket or cargo pant more than anything else: every pocket, zip, panel and trim is cutting and sewing time. Fabric comes next, then washes, branded trims, branding, quantity and packing, and each of these is a choice you control.
We quote each style separately, by fabric, quantity and branding, and we do not publish figures, because a woven jacket can range from simple to very involved. What we can explain is the streetwear outerwear price factors, so you know which decisions move your quote and where you can simplify without changing the look.
Construction: the biggest factor
Woven streetwear has far more parts than knitwear. A plain twill overshirt might have a collar, a button front, two chest pockets and cuffs. A cargo pant adds a waistband, belt loops, a fly, side pockets, back pockets and cargo pockets with flaps. A jacket adds a zip, a collar or hood, pocket zips and sometimes a lining.
The details that add most to the price:
- Pockets: each pocket is several pieces and steps. Flaps, closures and zips add more.
- Zips: a main zip plus pocket zips, and storm flaps or plackets around them.
- Panels and seams: contrast panels, yokes and articulated seams add cutting and sewing.
- Lining: a lined jacket is close to two garments in one.
- Hood or collar: a hood with a drawcord takes more work than a simple collar.
- Adjusters: drawcords, toggles, hem adjusters and cuff tabs.
If you have a target price, tell us. We can usually suggest where a detail can be simplified, such as an open cargo pocket instead of a zipped one, without changing how the piece reads in a photo.
Fabric
| Fabric | Styles | What raises its cost |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton twill | Cargo pants, jackets, overshirts | Heavier weight, special colours, garment washing |
| Denim | Jackets, overshirts, denim pieces | Heavier weight, washes and finishes |
| Nylon | Cargo pants, jackets | Special colours, finishes |
Heavier fabric costs more and is slower to sew. A colour that needs to be dyed for your order can change both price and lead time. Bottoms and longer jackets use more fabric per piece than overshirts.
Washes and finishes
On denim and twill, a wash is a separate process after sewing. A simple rinse adds less than a heavy fade or a worn-in finish with more steps. Washes also add a little variation between batches, which we plan for. Send a reference photo of the effect you want, and we confirm what is possible and quote it.
Trims and branding
Trims are where streetwear pieces become yours, and each one has a cost.
- Standard trims: plain buttons, zips, pullers and drawcords.
- Branded trims: buttons, rivets, snaps and zip pulls with your logo, made for your order. These need set-up and add to the price per piece, and they affect lead time.
- Woven patches: priced by size and detail.
- Embroidery: priced by stitch count and position.
- Screen print: priced by colours, size and positions; a large back print on a jacket is common.
- Labels and tags: neck or waistband label, wash-care label and hang tag.
A simple way to keep branding cost-conscious: one branded trim (often the zip pull or the main button), one woven patch or embroidery, and a woven neck or waistband label. That gives a clear brand signature without branding every part.
Quantity, colours and sizes
Streetwear outerwear sits in our specialised band, with a minimum of 300 pieces per style and sizes mixed. Quantity affects price because set-up work, such as patterns for each colour lay, embroidery programming, print screens and branded trim tooling, is spread over more pieces.
Colour split matters too. Three hundred pieces in one colour is simpler than 300 across three colours. Each colour has its own fabric lot and, for washed pieces, its own wash. The colour split is confirmed in your quotation.
Larger sizes use more fabric, so a split weighted to 2XL and 3XL is quoted accordingly.
Packing, sample and shipping
Jackets and cargos are bulky. Each piece in a polybag with a size sticker and barcode adds a little per piece and increases carton count, which also affects shipping. Tell us how the stock will be sold and we quote the packing to match. If you sell on a marketplace, send the specification you have confirmed with them.
The sample is quoted separately and its terms are confirmed in your quotation. For pieces with branded trims, the sample may use standard trims if branded ones are not yet made; we tell you which in advance. Shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide.
Comparing quotes
Before comparing quotes, check that each one covers the same fabric and weight, the same construction details, the same wash, the same trims (branded or plain), the same branding, quantity and colour split, and the same packing. Differences in price nearly always trace back to one of these lines. Our minimum order and samples page explains minimums and samples across our white label streetwear range and the rest of our products.
For a quote, send reference photos of each piece, the fabric, colours or wash, pocket layout, trims and which to brand, branding artwork, quantity per size, packing needs and destination. A target price helps us suggest the right level of detail.
