TANTYDENIM / Development Guide
Custom Denim Development From 100 pcs
A practical development route for brands working from a reference image, sketch, tech pack or existing garment.
Start With a Brief
What should a brand send before denim sampling?
Bring the product information you already have. A product image, sketch, tech pack or existing garment can start the first review. Include the target quantity, target market and the product details that matter most.
A reference image helps communicate the silhouette and appearance, but measurable requirements should be confirmed during development.
Reference
Product image, sketch, tech pack or existing sample direction.
Product
Category, intended fit, measurements and key construction details.
Finish
Fabric feel, wash direction, trims, labels and branding requirements.
Quantity
Expected pieces per style, wash and colour, size range and target market.
MOQ Clarity
MOQ starts from 100 pcs per style.
TANTYDENIM starts from 100 pieces per style, wash and colour, with mixed sizes accepted.
The final workable requirement is reviewed after the fabric, wash, trims, construction details and size ratio are confirmed.
- Fabric Stock-supported denim and specially sourced fabric can require different development arrangements.
- Wash Clean rinses, vintage fading, abrasion, laser artwork and detailed effects require different approval points.
- Trims Custom buttons, rivets, labels, patches, hangtags and packaging may have separate supplier requirements.
- Size ratio Mixed sizes are accepted, but the intended size breakdown should be confirmed before production.
Private-Label Sampling Guide
How does private-label jeans sampling work?
A clear sampling brief helps the brand and manufacturer review the same product requirements. Before sampling begins, the intended fit, fabric, wash, construction, trims, size range and quantity should be defined as clearly as possible.
How long does a private-label jeans sample take?
Sampling timing depends on product complexity, material availability, wash requirements and sample revisions. A sampling plan is reviewed after product details, fabrics, trims and development requirements are confirmed.
Specially sourced denim, custom hardware, complex construction or detailed wash development may require additional preparation before sampling can begin.
What information should be included in the sampling brief?
- A tech pack, sketch, reference image or existing garment
- The intended fit, rise and leg shape
- Target measurements and size range
- Preferred denim composition, weight and stretch direction
- Wash reference, colour direction and intended hand feel
- Pocket, waistband, seam and closure details
- Buttons, rivets, labels, patches and packaging requirements
- Quantity per style, wash and colour
- Delivery country and intended timing
What can affect the sampling route?
Fabric availability, fit requirements, wash complexity, special construction and custom trims can all affect how the first sample is prepared.
Clearly identify which product details must remain unchanged and which details can be adjusted during development.
Development Decisions
What should be confirmed during development?
Fabric and fit
Confirm denim composition, weight, stretch direction, hand feel, intended rise, waist shape, hip fit, inseam and leg opening.
Wash and finish
Confirm the base shade, fading placement, contrast, abrasion, visible effects and intended finished appearance.
Construction and identity
Confirm pockets, seams, closures, hardware, labels, patches, branding details and packaging requirements.
Before Bulk Production
What should a brand approve before bulk denim production?
Approve the physical sample together with the agreed product brief. The approval should confirm the finished measurements, fit, fabric, wash appearance, hand feel, construction, pocket placement, seams, hardware, labels and packaging.
The approved physical sample provides a practical comparison standard for bulk production. Record the approved sample version and retain the physical standard for production review.
If laboratory or destination-market testing is required, include the required test methods and acceptance criteria in the brief before production.
