What is a realistic MOQ for a custom jacket from a Chinese factory?

Realistic MOQ for a fully custom jacket from a Chinese factory: 300–500 pieces per style for basic constructions; 500–1,000 pieces for functional styles such as waterproof, insulated or flame-retardant garments, where special trims and processes add set-up cost. Custom-woven or custom-dyed fabric raises the floor further, because the mill has its own minimum.

UniOuter's published policy matches these bands: 300–500 pieces for basic styles and 500–1,000 for functional styles, negotiable for long-term partners and multi-style programmes. Beware of quotes far below these ranges — they usually mean stock-fabric 'customisation' (logo on an existing blank), not a true custom build.
