One hoodie, four very different products
The core of streetwear is not a single item, but the result of the combination of pattern, weight, and surface craftsmanship: loose contours, solid fabrics, and recognizable surface treatments.
The same hoodie, if changed to acid washed, puff printed or rhinestone hot stamping, faces a completely different customer base and retail price. So what really determines the success or failure of a street item is often not the style itself, but the right choice of craftsmanship.
Below, we will break down our capabilities into two lines: process and category.
Acid Wash
Make uneven fading on finished clothing, with each piece having a different texture. The method is to repeatedly process the finished product with pumice and specialized detergent, and the darker the base color, the more obvious the contrast.
Mainly used for thick cotton hoodies, sports pants, and denim items, with an overall American retro and 90s streetwear style.
Please note that slight color differences between batches are a process characteristic and not a quality defect. It is recommended to confirm the color sample before placing an order.
Puff Print
Adding foaming agent to the printing paste, the pattern will be three-dimensional raised after high-temperature curing, and fingers can feel a significant height and soft touch.
Commonly used for large characters or local embellishments on the chest, the visual impact is significantly stronger than flat printing.
Process boundary: The three-dimensional degree depends on the thickness of the slurry and the foaming temperature; The finer the pattern, the harder it is to achieve a three-dimensional effect, so extremely thin lines and extremely small text are not suitable for puff printing.
Screen Print
The most classic and washable printing method: one color version, color by color scraping onto the fabric.
Single color or small color matching has the lowest cost and best color fastness, suitable for stable and repetitive production of large quantities.
Process boundary: Each color requires a separate version, and the more colors, the higher the cost; Gradient colors and photo grade images are not suitable for screen printing.
Digital Print
Directly spray print the pattern onto the fabric without the need for pattern making, so the number of colors hardly affects the cost.
Suitable for full frame printing, gradient colors, and photo level details, as well as small batches and multiple small quantities.
Process boundary: flexible and fast prototyping, but cost is calculated by area, usually higher than screen printing for large quantities; Dark fabrics require a base layer before they can show color.
Rhinestone
Use hot pressing to fix glass or resin drills onto the fabric, forming dense highlights under light.
Mostly used for local patterns, letters or edge decorations on the chest, commonly seen in women's clothing and street styles with strong stage feel.
Process boundary: The firmness depends on the temperature, pressure, and time of hot pressing; The specifications and arrangement density of the drill directly determine the cost, and it is recommended to use less in areas with frequent washing and friction.
Distressed Applique Embroidery
First, sew the fabric or frayed edges onto the body of the garment, then add dense chain or flat embroidery, deliberately preserving the frayed edges and broken threads at the corners.
The layering and texture are significantly stronger than ordinary flat embroidery, making it the most commonly used technique for expressing handmade feel in street styles.
Process boundary: The more layers stacked, the thicker it becomes, and the higher the requirement for plate position accuracy; The burrs require an independent process, which is more expensive than ordinary cloth embroidery.
Tracksuit
The use of the same fabric and color chart for both upper and lower clothing is the most complete way to express street lines. Optional fleece, loop or air layer.
Suitable as the main promotion for the brand's seasonal styling, as well as for selling as a set or as a gift box.
Women’s Tracksuit
Narrowing the shoulder line and adjusting the length to pants ratio on the universal version creates a more fitting silhouette for women, while retaining a loose fit without appearing sluggish.
Can share fabric and craftsmanship with men's clothing, making it convenient to create couple or family collections.
Windbreaker Tracksuit
A windproof jacket made mainly of technical nylon or Taslon and paired with matching pants, with a slight gloss and splash proof treatment on the surface.
Suitable for changing season outerwear lines, it can also be used as a thin windproof and windbreaker replacement.
Process boundary: Nylon fabric has higher requirements for lamination and stitching; When waterproof pressure strips or anti drilling velvet are needed, they can be discussed separately.
Sweatpants
Leg ties or straight tubes, drawstring waistband, and side seam pockets are the basic styles of streetwear. The weight range is from 320g to 480g, and the higher the weight, the better the sagging feeling and the firmer the shape.
The key to the shape lies in the hip circumference and thigh measurement. It is recommended to confirm the shape sample before determining the weight.
Shorts
Shorten the length of the pants in the same style as the pants, retain the drawstring waistband and side pockets, suitable for spring and summer collections, or can be sold separately from the set.
Process boundary: Shorts are more sensitive to the closure of the hem and side seams, and there is a significant difference in the effect of the loop and fleece edges. It is recommended to confirm them separately according to the fabric.
Short Set
The combination of short sleeved tops and shorts made of the same fabric has become the main trend of summer streetwear in recent years. The tops are mostly box shaped shorts, forming a unified loose proportion with the shorts.
Suitable for whole set sales, it is also the easiest way to verify the combination of fabric feel and weight during the sampling stage.
Shirt
A loose outerwear shirt primarily made of cotton twill or youth fabric, with a box cut, patch pockets, and front placket buttons. It can be worn alone or as a thin jacket over a hoodie or T-shirt.
Process boundary: Shirts have high requirements for grid and stripe alignment, placket flatness, and collar stiffness, which belong to a category with high detail costs.
Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Extend the sleeve length and add ribbed cuffs on the basic T-shirt, making it looser overall after adjusting the shoulder area.
Suitable for use as a base or as a standalone outerwear, it is also the most commonly used layer for layering.
It is recommended to weigh 240g or more, as being too thin may result in a loss of the drape required for street style designs.
Varsity Jacket
The contrasting sleeve body with ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem is the most tightly combined piece of college style and street style. The main body is often made of wool or fleece, and the sleeves are mostly made of leather or imitation leather.
Process boundary: Color collision and fabric embroidery often occur simultaneously, and it is necessary to confirm the color difference and embroidery thread color matching separately.
Puffer Jacket
Horizontal stitching with plush, the fluffiness depends on the amount and proportion of plush filling. Can be used as a stand up collar or hood, with loose fit as the main design.
Process boundary: It is necessary to first clarify the weight and type of filling, and the larger the grid, the fluffiness; Suggest confirming the plush sample first before calculating the cost.
Children’s Clothing
Tailored according to age groups, rather than proportionally reducing adult styles - shoulder width, armholes, and crotch depth all need to be readjusted. The fabric prioritizes skin friendly cotton and safety accessories.
Process boundary: Small scale printing and embroidery details are more prone to distortion. It is recommended to first produce a pattern sample to confirm the effect.
