Planning a 100-piece first hoodie order
With a 100 pcs MOQ, a new brand can test a hoodie without large inventory. The key is to keep the first drop focused: one style, a small color range and a size split based on expected demand. Each extra color divides the quantity further.
Decoration methods can have their own setup costs, such as screens for printing or digitizing for embroidery. These are fixed regardless of quantity, so they weigh more on small orders.
Ways to make a small order work
Consider these points:
- Limit colors in the first drop and add more on reorder.
- Choose decoration that suits small runs, and keep artwork color counts reasonable.
- Use standard trims with custom labels to keep branding without trim minimums.
- Plan sizes from real customer data.
- Keep the approved sample for consistent reorders.
Timeline
Samples typically take 7 days once the brief is confirmed. Bulk timing depends on order quantity. A clear tech pack reduces revision rounds. See the product programs, or contact us with your first-drop plan.
Low MOQ and decoration
Decoration setup costs, such as screens and embroidery files, are similar whether you order 100 or 1,000 pieces, so they matter more in small orders. Using one artwork across colors, or limiting print colors, can keep a first order affordable without changing the garment itself.
Example of a 100-piece hoodie order
A typical first order might be one pullover style in one color, with sizes split S 15, M 30, L 30, XL 20, XXL 5 — adjusted to your own customer data. One color keeps the full quantity in a single run.
Quick note
Plan labels early; they are needed before bulk sewing.

Browse all buying guides How to Find a Hoodie Manufacturer: A Buyer Checklist
A hoodie manufacturer should be assessed against the hoodie you actually want to develop. An oversized fleece pullover, a cropped zip-up and a washed graphic hoodie create different questions. Start with one clear product direction and use it to test whether a supplier can explain a credible development route.
Read the guide Cost planningHow Much Does It Cost to Manufacture a Hoodie?
There is no single useful hoodie manufacturing price without a product specification. Compare the recurring garment price, one-time development charges and delivery costs separately, then calculate the cost for your actual order.
Read the guide Production planningHow to Plan Hoodie Size Runs and Colorways for a First Order
A first hoodie order should test demand without spreading inventory across too many sizes and colors. Start with the intended fit, customer measurements, and any actual preorder or sales evidence, then build a size run that totals your purchase quantity. Our MOQ is 100 pcs, but buyers should confirm how that minimum applies to the style, colorway, fabric, and decoration before assuming that every combination is available. Limit initial colorways, approve body fleece and rib together, and review grading before releasing bulk production. The objective is not a universal size ratio; it is a documented allocation that your market evidence, budget, and factory material options can support.
