Custom Clothing Manufacturing for DTC & E-commerce Brands
Adiwe is a custom clothing manufacturer for DTC and e-commerce brands that are ready to scale. Work directly with one factory for tees, hoodies, outerwear and bottoms — approving a physical sample first, then producing to your spec with consistent sizing, decoration and private-label branding on every drop.
- One factory, full category
- Sample-approved production
- Consistent quality across drops
- Private label + packaging
What DTC brands tell us
You are not just buying garments — you are protecting a brand that has to stay consistent as it grows.
- “Quality drifted between our first and third drop.”
- “We outgrew our first supplier and had to switch factories mid-season.”
- “Sourcing tees, hoodies and bottoms from three suppliers wasted weeks.”
- “Trading companies kept quoting us without ever touching the fabric.”
- “Restocks arrived too slowly, so we sold out for weeks.”
- “We needed one partner whose quality and capacity could grow with us.”
How we solve each one
| What you told us | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Drifting quality between drops | Your pattern card, fabric lot and print settings are archived, so every reorder matches the last. |
| Outgrowing a supplier | Two production facilities in Hubei and Guangdong give you the capacity to scale without changing partners. |
| Slow, mismatched restocks | Archived specs and reserved production slots make reorders fast and identical to the original run. |
| Too many suppliers | Tees, hoodies, jackets, pants, shorts and shirts produced in one place, with one contact and one QC standard. |
| Middlemen and markups | You deal directly with the factory floor — the people who cut, sew and print your order. |
| Slipping delivery dates | A written timeline at order confirmation and progress photos at each stage — no silent delays. |
How we de-risk every production run
A transparent route to market, with the stage you approve at each step:
| Stage | What happens | What you pay for | What you approve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design review | We read your tech pack or reference garment and flag production risks | Free | Fabric and construction direction |
| Sampling | One physical sample with your decoration and branding | Sample fee (credited on bulk) | Fit, hand-feel, print quality |
| Bulk production | To your confirmed quantities per style and colour | Deposit, balance before shipping | Inspection report and photos |
| Delivery | Packing to your spec, then DDP, air or sea freight | — | Shipping method and date |
| Restock | Reorder from your archived spec, no new sample needed | Per-piece price only | Quantity and delivery date |
Because your specs are archived, a restock is faster and identical to the first run — no re-sampling, no quality drift between drops.

Quality control at three checkpoints
| Stage | What we check | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Sample stage | Fit, fabric hand-feel, decoration quality and branding placement | Physical sample for your approval |
| In-line QC | Measurements, stitching, print placement and size ratios | Progress photos and issue log |
| Pre-shipment AQL | Full audit vs your spec plus packing, labels and carton marks | AQL report with photos |
Pricing, MOQ and how quantity affects your cost
Per-piece price falls as quantities rise — here is what moves your cost:
| Cost factor | How it moves your price |
|---|---|
| Quantity per style | Per-piece price drops as volume rises; we will show you the curve so you can plan your buy. |
| Fabric weight | Choosing 240 gsm instead of 400 gsm can cut cost without hurting the design. |
| Decoration | Screen print becomes very economical at volume; DTG and embroidery suit smaller or multi-colour runs. |
| Shared production across styles | Running tee, hoodie and pants in one production block reduces total cost. |
| Labels and packaging | Woven labels, hangtags and retail-ready packing can be added and upgraded as you scale. |

Manufacturing for DTC & E-commerce Brands — frequently asked questions
What quantities do you produce?
Our minimum is 100 pieces per style and fabric colour, and we regularly produce runs in the hundreds and thousands of pieces per style — with volume pricing that improves as quantities grow.
How much does it cost to sample?
Sample fees depend on the garment and decoration. The fee is normally credited against your bulk order once you proceed.
How do you keep quality consistent on reorders?
We keep your pattern card, fabric lot and print settings on file, so a restock is faster and identical to the previous run — no new sampling and no quality drift.
Can I order several products in one go?
Yes. Many brands launch a tee, a hoodie and a pair of pants together; producing them in one block keeps cost and freight down.
Do you work with brands that have no tech pack?
Yes. Many clients start with a reference garment or a sketch. We turn it into a spec sheet you approve before production.
Who owns the patterns?
Patterns we develop for your styles are used exclusively for your orders. We do not resell your designs.
How do I pay?
Typically a deposit to start production and the balance before shipping. Exact terms are confirmed on your invoice.
Can you help me hit a target cost and margin?
Yes — send your target retail price and quantities and we will propose fabrics, weights and decoration that protect your margin.
