Custom Clothing We Manufacture
We manufacture four core product categories, each from 100 pieces per style, design and fabric colour. Every style can be produced on our ready-made regular and oversized patterns, developed from hundreds of previous projects, or on a pattern made from your measurement chart or reference garment.
T-Shirts
Regular and oversized T-shirts in 100% organic cotton single jersey, 160–280 GSM, finished with screen printing or embroidery and your own neck and care labels. For GSM options, indicative prices and the full timeline, read more about working with a T-shirt manufacturer in Turkey.
.Sweatshirts, Hoodies and Zip Hoodies
Sweatshirts, hoodies and zip hoodies in 350 GSM brushed fleece (80% organic cotton, 20% recycled polyester) or 350 and 450 GSM French terry (100% organic cotton), with embroidery or screen printing, drawcords, eyelets and zips. See all options for custom hoodie manufacturing.
Joggers and Sweatpants
Joggers and sweatpants in matching fleece or French terry, so a full set can be made in one fabric and colour. Elasticated or ribbed cuffs, drawcord waistbands and pocket styles are made to your specification.
Polo Shirts
Polo shirts in 220 GSM piqué (100% organic cotton) with ribbed collars and cuffs, for brand collections, teams and corporate wear, usually finished with an embroidered logo.
Private-Label Clothing Manufacturing
With private-label clothing manufacturing, the garments are made to your specification and carry only your brand. Too Fabric produces them in Istanbul and packs them ready for your warehouse, your retailers or your customers.
What we add to your garments:
- Woven brand labels, satin care labels and printed (tagless) neck labels
- Size labels, and care and composition labels in the languages of your markets
- Hangtags, individual polybags and branded packaging, with barcode or EAN stickers on request
- Branded trims such as zips, eyelets and drawcords
Logos and artwork are applied by embroidery for a durable, premium finish, by screen printing for sharp, longlasting prints in spot colours, or by transfer printing for multi-colour artwork. We recommend the method after reviewing your artwork, fabric and quantity.
What we need from you: finalised artwork as vector files, and your specifications or a reference garment. Too Fabric does not offer graphic or logo design; we manufacture your design and advise on manufacturing questions such as fabric, fit, print method and placement.
Low-MOQ Clothing Production: Ready-Made or Custom Patterns
Too Fabric’s minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per style, design and fabric colour, and sizes can be mixed freely within those 100 pieces. For example, one design in black and white needs at least 100 black and 100 white garments. You can start on our ready-made patterns or have patterns developed for your brand. The pattern is the only difference: the minimum order, branding and labelling options and lead times are the same. Both routes are new production made to order, not ready-made garment stock.
Sample lead times start once specifications and artwork are confirmed; bulk lead times start after sample approval and apply to stock fabrics. Fabric custom-dyed to your Pantone reference starts from about 300 pieces per colour and takes longer. Figures as of October 2026.
For a new brand, 100 pieces per style keeps the money tied up in stock low and lets you reorder the styles that sell. Not sure which patterns suit your collection? Send us your references and we will recommend one.

How Custom Clothing Production Works
- Quotation: Send your mockups or references, quantities, fabric preferences, measurements, artwork, label requirements and delivery country. We reply within 1 hour on average during working hours, then confirm specifications, prices, sample charges and the production schedule in a written quotation.
- Sample: A physical sample on a ready-made or custom pattern, with your fabric, branding and labels, sent to you by DHL Express.
- Approval: You check fit, measurements, fabric, colour, branding and labels and confirm any changes. The approved sample and written specifications become the reference for bulk production.
- Bulk production: Fabric preparation, cutting, embroidery or printing, sewing and finishing.
- Quality control: In-line checks during sewing and a final inspection against the approved sample before packing.
- Delivery: Packed by style, colour and size in export cartons with the export documents, then delivered by road to most European destinations in 10–14 days.
Each stage is explained in detail in our clothing production process.
Fabrics and Certified Materials
We make our clothing from organic cotton fabrics: single jersey, French terry and piqué in 100% organic cotton, and brushed fleece in 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester.
Stock colours give the shortest lead times: black, white and cream are standard in our French terry and heavier jerseys, and our 160 GSM jersey and brushed fleece come in a wider colour chart. For an exact match, fabric can be dyed to your Pantone reference from about 300 pieces per colour.
Our organic cotton fabrics come from GOTS-certified mills, and we share the GOTS and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificates on request. If the GOTS label should appear on the garment itself, tell us before sampling: onproduct GOTS labelling is only allowed when every processing stage is certified.
Certificates also let you make specific, provable claims such as “100% organic cotton”. This matters in the EU, where rules restricting generic environmental claims such as “eco-friendly” have applied since 27 September 2026.
| Fabric | Weight | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Single jersey 100% organic cotton | 160–280 GSM | T-shirts |
| French terry 100% organic cotton | 350–450 GSM | Hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers |
| Brushed fleece 80% organic cotton / 20% recycled polyester | 350 GSM | Hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers |
| Piqué 100% organic cotton | 220 GSM | Polo shirts |
Nearshore Clothing Manufacturing in Turkey for Europe and the UK
Working with a clothing manufacturer in Turkey keeps production close to your market: 1–3 hours ahead of Central Europe and the UK, 10–14 days from most European destinations by road, and inside the EU–Türkiye Customs Union for industrial goods.
We deliver to Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, the UK and the rest of Europe.
-
Same-day communication: Türkiye stays on UTC+3 all year, so samples, approvals and questions are handled within your working day.
-
Fast replenishment: bulk orders travel by road in 10–14 days and samples by DHL Express in 3–4 business days, instead of several weeks at sea.
-
European Union: qualifying goods in free circulation move without customs duty under the EU–Türkiye Customs Union, supported by the A.TR movement certificate we issue. Import VAT applies at destination.
-
United Kingdom: the UK–Türkiye trade agreement allows 0% duty on goods that meet its rules of origin, claimed with an origin declaration on our invoice. UK import VAT is 20%.

Questions Before You Start Production
What is your minimum order quantity?
The standard minimum is 100 pieces per style, design and fabric colour, with sizes mixed within that quantity. Fabric custom-dyed to your Pantone reference starts from about 300 pieces per colour, and special materials can require higher quantities, confirmed in your quotation.
Can I order T-shirts, hoodies and joggers in one order?
Yes. The minimum applies to each style, design and fabric colour, so different products can be combined in one order. Cantourage, for example, ordered 600 T-shirts and 200 hoodies together.
Can you use my own measurements and labels?
Yes. We can work from your measurement chart or reference garment and add your labels, printing, embroidery and agreed trims. Your physical sample is used to approve the fit and details before bulk production.
Do you sell ready-made clothing or blank stock?
No. Every order is new production made for your brand. Choosing our ready-made patterns means using an existing pattern and size chart; the garments are still produced for your project in the agreed fabric and with your branding.
How long does it take from sample to delivery?
Sampling takes about 2 weeks after specifications and artwork are confirmed, and bulk production about 5 weeks after sample approval on stock fabrics. With sample shipping, your approval and 10–14 days of road freight, plan about 9–10 weeks from confirmed specifications to delivery in Europe. Custom-dyed fabrics take longer.
Is the sample fee deducted from the bulk order?
The sample fee for a style that proceeds to bulk production can be credited against its related order. The applicable amount and conditions are confirmed in your quotation before sampling.
Can you deliver to Switzerland and the UK?
Yes. Besides EU countries, we deliver to Switzerland and the UK. The shipping method, export documents and import requirements depend on the destination and are confirmed for each order.
What do you need to prepare an accurate quote?
Send final garment mockups, quantities per design and colour, fabric preferences, measurements or your chosen ready-made pattern, logo artwork with sizes and placements, label and packaging requirements, and the delivery country. Graphic and logo design services are not included.
