Long Men Board Short Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands with Shirring
Long Men Board Short Solution for Surf and Swim Brands
This programme covers the full path from a long men board short concept to a repeatable bulk supply for surf and swim brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure we see in surf and swim brands sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
Recommended fabrics
- Brushed Fleece — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
- Mulberry Silk — used when durability and abrasion resistance come first
- Seersucker — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
- French Terry — used when durability and abrasion resistance come first
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Shirring, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.
- Care Label
- Tie-Dye Wash
- Chain Stitch Embroidery
- Yarn Dyeing

FAQ
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for BSCI, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 500 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
