Fabric Selection for Jackets

Jacket fabrics must balance functionality, durability, and aesthetics:

• Nylon and Polyester: Lightweight, durable, and water-resistant. Ideal for windbreakers, bombers, and coaches jackets. Available in various weights (50-150 GSM) and finishes (matte, shiny, peach finish). Can be treated for enhanced water resistance.
• Down-Proof Fabrics: Tightly woven materials preventing down or feather penetration. Essential for puffer jackets with natural fill. Often includes DWR (durable water repellent) treatment for weather protection.
• Denim: Available in weights from 8 oz (lightweight) to 14 oz (heavyweight). Can be subjected to various washing treatments including stone wash, enzyme wash, bleaching, and distressing. Stretch denim options available for improved comfort.
• Softshell Fabrics: Technical materials combining stretch, breathability, and weather resistance. Typically 3-layer constructions with face fabric, membrane, and fleece backing. Ideal for active and outdoor applications.
• Fleece: Knit fabrics with brushed surface for warmth. Weights from 200-400 GSM. Available in micro fleece, polar fleece, and high-pile options. Breathable and quick-drying for active use.

Lining and Insulation Options

Proper lining and insulation enhance jacket comfort and functionality:

Lining Materials: Mesh lining provides breathability for active wear. Polyester taffeta is standard for general use, available in quilted or smooth finish. Fleece lining adds warmth for cold weather jackets. Satin lining offers premium feel for fashion jackets. Printed linings can feature custom designs or branding for added value.

Insulation Types: Down insulation offers excellent warmth-to-weight ratio with various fill powers (550-800+). Synthetic insulation (polyester fill) provides consistent warmth even when wet, more affordable than down, and suitable for various climates. Insulation weight can be adjusted from 60g/m² for light warmth to 150g/m² for cold weather protection.

Hardware, Trims, and Details

Quality hardware and trims are essential for jacket functionality and branding:

Zippers: We use YKK zippers known for reliability and smooth operation. Available in various sizes (5mm for lightweight, 8mm for heavy-duty), metal or plastic teeth, and multiple color options. Custom branded zipper pullers can be engraved with your logo or brand name.

Buttons and Snaps: Metal buttons in various finishes (brass, gunmetal, antique), plastic buttons in custom colors, snap fasteners for quick closure, and branded buttons with engraved logos. Button placement and size customized to jacket style.

Elastic and Drawstrings: Ribbed cuffs and waistbands for bomber jackets in various widths and colors. Elastic drawstrings with toggles for hoods and hems. Custom branded toggles and cord locks available. Jacquard elastic with woven branding for premium applications.

Pockets and Features: Side entry pockets with zipper or snap closures. Interior pockets for valuables. Chest pockets with flaps or zippers. Ventilation features like underarm zips or back vents. Hood options including attached, removable, or packable into collar.

Customization and Branding

Comprehensive customization transforms jackets into branded products:

Embroidery Services: Chest logo embroidery (left, right, or center), full back embroidery for large graphics, sleeve embroidery, collar and hood embroidery, interior lining embroidery, and chenille patches for varsity jackets. Our embroidery facilities handle up to 12-color designs and 3D puff embroidery for raised effects.

Printing Options: Screen printing for large graphics on back panels, heat transfer for detailed designs, discharge printing on dark fabrics for soft feel, reflective printing for visibility and safety, and sublimation printing on performance fabrics. Print placements include back, chest, sleeves, and lining.

Labels and Tags: Woven labels sewn into neck or side seam, printed labels for internal branding, leather or PU patches, custom hang tags, interior care labels, and branded size labels. Complete private label packages available to establish brand identity.

Quality Control for Jackets

Jackets require rigorous quality control due to construction complexity:

Fabric and Material Inspection: Shell fabric checked for color consistency, weight, and hand feel. Lining materials inspected for defects. Insulation tested for fill power (down) or weight and loft (synthetic). Hardware tested for smooth operation and durability.

Construction Quality: Pattern accuracy verified for proper fit. Seam quality inspected with focus on strength and appearance. Zipper installation checked for alignment and smooth operation. Pocket construction and attachment verified for durability. Collar and hood construction assessed for proper shape and attachment.

Final Inspection: Each jacket undergoes comprehensive inspection including measurement verification, embroidery and print quality assessment, hardware functionality testing (zippers, buttons, snaps), water resistance testing if applicable, overall appearance and finish evaluation, and proper labeling and packaging verification.

MOQ and Production Planning

Minimum Order Quantity: Our standard MOQ is 150 pieces per color per model. Jacket production involves complex construction, specialized equipment, and longer production times compared to basic garments, making this MOQ necessary for cost-effective manufacturing. For jackets in black, navy, and olive, you would order 150 pieces per color (450 total).

Size distribution for jacket orders typically includes S (20), M (40), L (45), XL (30), XXL (15) for 150 pieces. We adjust ratios based on your market analysis and historical sales data. For brands building collections, combining jacket orders with complementary products (hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers) helps achieve order values while offering coordinated styling options.

Production Timeline

Jacket manufacturing requires longer timelines than basic garments:

• Tech Pack Review: 2-3 days to review specifications and provide technical feedback
• Initial Sample: 8-12 days from approval (more complex than basic garments)
• Sample Revisions: 7-10 days per revision cycle
• Pre-Production Sample: 7-10 days in final materials
• Bulk Production: 30-40 days from order confirmation
• Quality Control: 5-7 days for inspection and packing
• Total Timeline: 7-9 weeks from sampling to shipment

Why Turkey for Jacket Manufacturing

Turkey offers distinct advantages for technical outerwear production:

Technical Expertise: Turkish manufacturers have developed sophisticated capabilities in outerwear production including working with technical fabrics, sealed seam construction, insulation application, and quality hardware installation. This expertise ensures reliable production of complex jacket styles.

Supply Chain: Turkey's textile infrastructure provides access to performance fabrics, quality linings, YKK zippers, and other essential components. Domestic availability reduces lead times and allows better quality control compared to sourcing from multiple countries.

Quality and Service: Turkish manufacturers maintain European quality standards with attention to construction details and finishing. Geographic proximity to European markets enables better communication, faster sampling cycles, and more efficient logistics for brands serving European customers.
