Why MOQ Matters
When buyers start planning a custom jacket order, one of the first questions is usually about minimum order quantity, or MOQ. MOQ is simply the smallest quantity a manufacturer can practically produce for one design and specification. It exists because custom jackets are made specifically for an order: fabrics and trims need to be prepared, artwork may need embroidery or printing setup, and the production line has to be arranged around the design.
Typical MOQ at Eraine Clothing
At Eraine Clothing, the usual minimum depends on the jacket type. Varsity jackets, bomber jackets, hoodies, basic windbreakers and coach jackets generally start from 12 pieces per design. Other jacket types commonly start from 24 pieces, while specialised products such as high-visibility workwear may require a higher minimum. The applicable quantity can also depend on materials, colours and construction details.
Why One Jacket Can Have a Different MOQ from Another
A simple fleece jacket may use materials and components that are easier to prepare in smaller quantities. A more technical jacket can require special fabric, lining, reflective materials, custom ribbing or other components that are only practical to source or prepare at a larger quantity. This is why MOQ should be viewed as part of production planning rather than only as a sales rule.
Can Sizes Be Mixed?
In most bulk orders, different sizes can be mixed within the same design. The important point is that the overall design and specification remain consistent. Buyers can normally confirm the final size breakdown before production, using the size chart supplied for the chosen jacket style.
What About a Sample?
For bulk custom orders, a first jacket can be arranged after the full order is confirmed. It can then be reviewed before the remaining quantity proceeds. Eraine Clothing does not normally produce a separate one-piece sample order before the customer confirms the bulk order, because the sample itself uses the same custom development and production setup.
Planning Your Order
The simplest way to check MOQ is to send the jacket design or reference, estimated quantity and intended use. This allows the production team to confirm whether the quantity is suitable for the materials and construction requested.
