Request a fishing apparel sample — hold the quality in your hand before you commit.
Before you buy hundreds, order one. We sew your sample in-house on the exact fabric your bulk will run — blank, with your logo, or off an existing style — so you can check hand feel, fit, sizing, decoration and color yourself in 7–10 days. The sample fee credits back against your bulk order.
The three samples you can order — blank, your-logo, or reference.
Not every buyer needs the same first sample. Some want to feel a plain garment before spending on artwork; some need their exact logo pre-production piece; some want an existing style as a fit reference. We sew all three — pick the one that answers the question you actually have.
Blank
1 · Blank sample — feel the base, fast.
A plain, undecorated garment in the fabric and cut you're considering, with no logo work. It's the quickest, lowest-commitment way to judge hand feel, weight and fit before you invest in artwork — ideal if the first question is "is this the right blank to build on?" rather than "is my print right?"
Your logo
2 · Your-logo pre-production sample.
Your garment made to your spec with your decoration in place — the real pre-production sample. This is the one you sign off as the standard, because it's the piece the bulk will be matched to, logo and all. Sends under any of our four ordering programs — OEM to your tech pack or ODM off our block.
Reference
3 · Reference sample — an existing style, in hand.
An existing garment from our range, sewn as-is, so you can hold a finished, proven build as a starting point before you customize fabric, fit or decoration. Useful when you'd rather adjust from a real object than describe one from scratch.
How sampling works, and how long it takes — 7–10 days once the spec is set.
The sampling room sits inside the factory, not at an outside workshop — so your first piece doesn't queue behind another shop's schedule. Here's the short path from a confirmed spec to a sample on its way to you, and why the fabric under your hands is the real one.
Confirm the spec & artwork.
Once your style, fabric direction, size and (for a custom sample) your artwork are locked, the clock starts. Sampling runs 7–10 days from that point — a confirmed brief, not a vague one, is what keeps it to that window.
Cut from the exact bulk fabric.
Your sample is cut from the same performance fabric the bulk will run — not a stand-in — so the hand feel and fit you judge are the real ones, not a preview that drifts later.
Sewn in-house on the sample line.
A dedicated sample team stitches it with the same seam types your production line will use, under our own roof — so what you hold is a true preview of the make, not a showroom mock-up.
Sample ships to you, worldwide.
The finished sample goes out DDP or DDU to your door for hands-on review. Bulk lead time after approval is a separate stage — see the brief-to-delivery timeline.
What a sample lets you verify that a spec sheet can't.
A number tells you a fabric is 180 gsm; only a sample tells you how it feels wet, how it sits on the shoulder and whether your print color reads right in daylight. These are the five things a physical sample settles before you scale — each one a check a photo or a spec line can't make for you.
-
1 · Hand feel & weight.
How the knit or weave actually feels — softness, stretch, coolness, drape — is something you settle by touch, not by a fabric spec. The sample is where "quick-dry, 4-way stretch" stops being words.
-
2 · Fit & pattern.
How the block sits on a real body — shoulder, sleeve length, body room, hem — so you can approve the pattern or ask for a tweak before it's cut a thousand times.
-
3 · Sizing across the grade.
Sample a size (or two across your grade) to confirm the size run maps to your customers, not just to a generic chart — the difference between a return-free launch and a re-grade.
-
4 · Decoration execution.
How your logo, print or label actually lands on the garment — placement, sharpness, feel of the print — so the decoration you approve on the sample is the one the bulk repeats.
-
5 · Color & consistency.
How fabric color and print color read in real light, and whether they hold together — the check that keeps your bulk from arriving a shade off what your screen promised.
What to send to start your sample.
A sample is only as accurate as the brief behind it. Send these — even roughly — and the sample that lands is the one you meant, not a guess. Want the price side too? That's a separate step — get a quote for a written, line-item number.
The garment you want sampled — a product name, a sketch, a tech pack, or a reference piece to match. The clearer the shape, the closer the first sample.
Which of the three: blank, your-logo pre-production, or a reference style (see above) — so we sew the sample that answers your actual question.
Your logo or print files and where each goes, if you want decoration on the sample. Decoration method and placements are set here so the sample shows real execution, not a placeholder.
UPF / quick-dry / cooling / stretch — or "you advise." The fabric family sets what the sample is cut from; a use-case is enough, you don't need a gsm number.
Which size — or two across your grade — you want made, so the fit and sizing you check map to your customers.
Send what you have; the project manager fills the gaps with you and confirms before cutting. Bulk after approval starts at 100 pcs per style (mixed sizes).
From sample to bulk — and how the sample fee credits back.
A sample you like should move you forward, not cost you twice. Here's how the fee works and how an approved sample turns into a shipped run — so the money you spend to verify isn't money you lose.
The sample fee credits back.
The sample is charged up front and credited against your bulk order once it runs — so verifying quality isn't a sunk cost, it's an advance on the order.
The first revision round is free, so one adjustment to fit, color or a seam doesn't add a charge.
We don't post sample or unit prices — every program is quoted to your run; for the number, get a quote.
Approve the sample as the standard.
Sign off the piece you're happy with; that approved sample becomes the production standard the bulk is matched to — a fit tweak or color change re-samples on the same in-house line, no restart at an outside shop. Deeper artwork revision loops are covered under custom gear.
Place the order.
With the standard locked, place the bulk order against a deposit; the sample fee comes off the total.
Bulk runs to the approved sample.
Cutting, decoration, sewing and QC all check every piece against your signed-off sample — see the full brief-to-delivery timeline for day-by-day bulk stages.
Ships worldwide, DDP or DDU.
The run ships to your door on the Incoterm you chose, matched to the sample you approved.
