When sourcing custom workout leggings, most brands should expect:
From my experience, misunderstandings around MOQ, lead time, and pricing are the main reason new brands struggle with manufacturers. This guide breaks everything down clearly so you know what to expect before contacting factories.
These three factors determine whether your launch succeeds or stalls:
If you ignore one of them, the others will eventually cause problems.
I’ve worked with fitness brands at different stages:
The biggest mistake I see:
Brands focus on unit price without understanding why that price exists.
Once brands understand the cost structure, negotiations become realistic — and partnerships last longer.
Typical MOQs for custom workout leggings:
| Order Type | Typical MOQ | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New custom style | 200–300 pcs | Includes pattern & setup cost |
| Repeat style (same fabric) | 100–200 pcs | Lower risk for factory |
| Multiple colors | 100 pcs per color | Depends on dye lot |
| Seamless leggings | 300+ pcs | Machine setup required |
Tip:
Factories reduce MOQ when styles, fabrics, and trims are standardized.
Here’s a realistic lead time breakdown:
| Stage | Time Required |
|---|---|
| Tech pack review | 1–3 days |
| Fabric sourcing | 5–7 days |
| Sample making | 7–10 days |
| Sample revisions | 5–7 days |
| Bulk production | 30–45 days |
| Packing & shipment | 5–10 days |
Rushing sampling usually creates delays later in bulk.
Average FOB unit pricing (reference range):
| Cost Factor | Impact on Price |
|---|---|
| Fabric | 45–55% |
| Sewing & labor | 20–25% |
| Trims & waistband | 5–8% |
| Sampling & development | 5–10% |
| QC & packing | 3–6% |
Typical price ranges:
Lower prices often mean weaker fabric recovery or inconsistent fit.
