Boardshort Customization Program for Running and Marathon Events with Custom Drawcord
Boardshort Customization Program for Running and Marathon Events
This programme covers the full path from a boardshort concept to repeatable bulk supply for running and marathon events. The build starts from everyday-casual references — boardshort in washed denim — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most boardshort buyers arrive with one of these problems: wholesale costs squeezed the retail margin, or delivery missed the season drop. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

How we produce it
- Tech pack review, fabric confirmation and lab dip approval
- Pattern, grading and a Washed Denim-spec prototype
- Fit sample and wearer test, then pre-production sign-off
- Bulk cutting with custom drawcord applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 check and packing
Quality control
Every bulk lot is compared against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and wash behaviour. Boardshort reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 12 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 3 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.
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.
