Custom cut-and-sew clothing

Sports jerseys, all-over-print apparel, custom-pattern clothing, jackets, knit sweaters. What they cost by quantity, the ways to get them made, what manufacturers need from you, and who makes them.

Commish turns your idea, or a photo of something close, into a spec with request images and a price ladder, then collects quotes from the manufacturers you pick. Free; you pay the manufacturer directly. In ChatGPT, install Commish once, then describe what you want.

What it costs

Planning ranges in US dollars, including one-time setup (screens, molds, samples), before shipping and import duties. Real quotes depend on size, colors and materials.

Ways to get it made

Design rules

• Factories quote from a tech pack (flat sketches with measurements and materials). A freelance designer can turn concept art into one.
• Always pay for a pre-production sample in your sample size before bulk.
• Sublimation (all-over print) needs white or light polyester; knit patterns are limited to a few yarn colors.

What manufacturers need from you

• Garment
• Fabric (composition, weight) (optional): e.g. 100% cotton 240 gsm, polyester for sublimation
• Size range and grading
• Colorways (optional)
• Trims (optional): zips, labels, drawcords, buttons
• Decoration (optional): print, embroidery, woven label

Files

• Tech pack or front/back sketches with measurements
• Fabric and color references

Safety and legal checks

• Fiber content and care labels are legally required in most markets (US FTC, EU textile regulation).
• Children's sleepwear has flammability rules in the US.
