Zip-Through Hoodie Customization Program for Airlines and Cruise Lines with Smocking
Zip-Through Hoodie Customization Program for Airlines and Cruise Lines
This programme covers the full path from a zip-through hoodie concept to repeatable bulk supply for airlines and cruise lines. The build starts from everyday-casual references — zip-through hoodie in linen blend — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most zip-through hoodie buyers arrive with one of these problems: the fabric felt thinner than the approved sample, or the fit drifted between sizes. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

Quality control
Every bulk lot is compared against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and wash behaviour. Zip-Through Hoodie reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.
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.
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 200 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.
