Custom Sportswear Manufacturers

Compression is graded by how much the fabric hugs — pick it by use, not by feel. Light compression (nylon-spandex, ~8–12% stretch) suits everyday training tops and tees where you want a clean fit without support. Medium compression (20–22% spandex blends, ~250–280 GSM) is the default for leggings, bike shorts, and lifting wear — it holds muscles without restricting the squat. Heavy compression (28–32% spandex, 260–320 GSM) is for recovery pieces and high-impact team wear. If your range spans all three, we grade each style against its own fabric so the "compression" claim on the label is actually true.

Training pieces are built to survive hundreds of wears; racing pieces are built to shave seconds. A training tee runs 180–220 GSM with a relaxed fit and reinforced stress points, so it launders hard and lasts. A racing singlet drops to 120–150 GSM, uses a tighter aerodynamic cut, and often adds laser-cut ventilation panels where you sweat most. Most brands do both off the same base block — we keep the pattern family consistent so your line reads as one, while the specs diverge for purpose.

GSM is the first lever — weight follows the sport, not the trend. Running tops and singlets: 120–180 GSM featherweight knits. Training and crossfit: 180–220 GSM with moisture wicking. Team jerseys: 140–180 GSM sublimation polyester; team tracksuits step up to 240–280 GSM. Yoga and pilates: 240+ GSM squat-proof knits. Lightweight outerwear: 280–350 GSM fleece or a water-resistant woven around 200–260 GSM. Tell us the sport and season, and we spec the base fabric before you ever see a swatch.

Yes — reflective transfer and heat-sealed logos are standard on our running and team lines. Reflective film is heat-pressed onto chest, back, sleeve cuffs, or hem, and holds through 30+ industrial washes when placed away from high-flex seams. If you want reflectivity woven into the fabric itself rather than applied, reflective yarn works but raises the fabric minimum — we tell you which applies at quoting. Heat-transfer logos follow the same calibration as our bonded-seam work, so they will not peel or crack after washing.

Pattern blocks are cut for the motion of the sport, not just the silhouette. Running gets a rear scoop hem and a forward-set sleeve for a long stride; cycling tops get a dropped tail and pre-curved sleeves for the leaned-over position; yoga gets a taller rise and extended side seams for deep stretch; team kits get extra ease through the shoulder for overhead motion. Share the sport and the movement range, and we start from the block that matches — not from a generic T-shirt pattern stretched to fit.

We grade team kits on a fixed XS–3XL table matched to a height/weight guide, so every athlete lands in a size. Send us your roster with heights and weights, and we return a size-distribution recommendation — plus how many of each number to print for jersey numbering. Because athletes are measured on real bodies, not guessed, fit issues drop sharply versus ordering from a generic size chart. If your team spans very different builds, we can add a second grade set within the same style.
