After we have collected all the details regarding your order we can begin sampling. The purpose of sampling is to make a sample that meets all your specific requirements. We will be contacting the mills and ordering a small run of your fabric, producing labels and setting up screens for printing, or digitizing for embroidery. Due to the set-up and material costs all samples will have a small fee. The sampling fee will be applied as a credit towards your order. Turnaround and sampling fees vary with each order depending on the requirements.

The turnaround for samples varies depending on the exact type of garment and its requirements. For example a t-shirt sample with your exact fabric, prints and labels may take around 12 days to produce.
//Sampling costs

T-shirts $100
Hats $100
Hoods $150
Jeans $150
Bikinis $100
