Gym tank production is not “cut and sew.”
A reliable factory runs a workflow that controls:
From my experience, gym tanks fail when factories treat them like generic tees.
A 5–10 mm drift at the armhole or length is enough to trigger returns.
Great factories don’t just make tanks—they manage the process.
Most brands imagine:
Design → Sample → Produce → Ship
On a real floor, a gym tank moves through:
If your supplier can’t show these steps, you don’t have a workflow—you have risk.
I’ve seen two types of factories:
Loose workflow
Locked workflow
Country doesn’t decide this.
Process discipline does.
Factories verify:
Soft fabric that shrinks ruins fit.
A gym tank needs:
“Stock patterns” create stock problems.
Strong factories:
This prevents length drift.
Order matters:
Wrong sequence = stretched edges.
Good floors:
That’s how bulk stays honest.
