We\u2019re planning to start with pieces like polos, shorts, quarter-zips and other golf\/lifestyle apparel.\n\nThe goal is to make something that feels premium in terms of fabric, fit and construction, but is still reasonably priced for children\u2019s clothing.\n\nI\u2019d love to learn a little more about working with you, specifically your minimums, sampling process, lead times and whether you\u2019re able to source performance fabrics.\n\nIf this sounds like something you could help with, I\u2019d be happy to send over more information on what we\u2019re looking to create.\n\nThanks,\nJake",

I'd be delighted to assist you with your project.\n\nTo provide you with accurate information and guidance, I need to gather a few details:\n\n1. **Brand**: Since you're in the early stages, I understand you might not have a website yet. Could you confirm if you have a brand name in mind?\n2. **Location**: Where are you based?\n3. **Product Category**: You've mentioned polos, shorts, and quarter-zips. Could you specify if you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for these items?\n4. **Quantities**: What is the total quantity you plan to produce, and how many styles are you considering?\n5. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n- **Minimums**: For kidswear, our minimum is 250 units per style and color. If you require more than six sizes, the MOQ is 50 units per size.\n- **Sampling Process**: The cost of a sample depends on the complexity of each specific design. We need to evaluate the Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper sample quotation.\n- **Lead Times**: Our standard production cycle is approximately 5 months, which includes both sampling and production.\n- **Performance Fabrics**: We can source various fabrics, but the specifics depend on your requirements. \n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",

            "content": "Hi Matilde,\nThanks for the quick response. \nWe\u2019re based in Louisville, Kentucky in the US. The brand is still in the early development stage, so we haven\u2019t finalized the name or website yet.\nFor the first collection, we\u2019re currently thinking about 4\u20136 styles, primarily polos, shorts, quarter-zips\/pullovers and potentially a few additional golf\/lifestyle pieces. We may start production with 2\u20133 core styles and expand from there.\nWe don\u2019t have finished tech packs yet. We\u2019re currently developing the designs and would ideally like to work with a manufacturer that can help us take our concepts and reference garments through sampling and into production.\nThe 250-unit minimum could work for us depending on final costs. Before determining quantities, I\u2019d like to develop and sample a few of the core pieces and get a better understanding of pricing.\nFor reference, we\u2019re targeting retail prices of approximately $45\u201355 for polos, $50\u201360 for shorts and $60\u201370 for quarter-zips. We want the quality and feel to be comparable to premium adult golf apparel, just designed specifically for children.\nWould you be able to give me a general idea of the production price range you typically see for garments like these? I understand final pricing would depend on fabric, construction and the finished design.JakeOn Aug 18, 2026, at 12:26\u202fPM, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> wrote:\ufeffHello Jake,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing your exciting plans for a children's golf and sportswear brand.

Since you're still developing your designs and don't have finished tech packs yet, I understand you're looking for guidance on production pricing.\n\nRegarding production prices, I must clarify that we do not provide general price ranges at this stage. Accurate pricing can only be determined after our technical team analyzes your Tech Pack or Physical Sample and confirms the final quantities. However, I can certainly note your target retail prices for reference.\n\nTo move forward, could you let me know if you have any physical samples or reference garments that you can send to us? This would help us better understand your design concepts and provide more precise feedback.\n\nOnce we have all the necessary details, our technical team will be able to assist you further with the development and sampling process.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards.",
