Basic Tee Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands with Custom Drawcord
Basic Tee Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands
This programme covers the full path from a basic tee concept to repeatable bulk supply for surf and swim brands. The build starts from everyday-casual references — basic tee in fleece-back cotton — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most basic tee buyers arrive with one of these problems: the previous supplier could not hold consistency on reorders, 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 Fleece-Back Cotton-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. Basic Tee reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 300 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.
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 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.
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.
