Your bestsellers sold out faster than expected. Now you're facing stockouts and losing sales daily, while impatient retailers are sending emails. This is a good problem, but it's still a problem.
A good OEM partner1 makes reordering your fastest, most profitable process. By reserving production capacity and fabric in advance, we can cut a typical 45-day lead time down to just 15–30 days, getting your jeans back in stock quickly.
I remember a client a few years ago who had a surprise hit with a raw-edge, wide-leg jean. It flew off the shelves. They came to us in a panic, needing to restock in the middle of the season.
Because we had all their specs, patterns, and wash recipes2 saved, we were able to get their reorder on the production line in days, not weeks.
They restocked their stores in under a month and rode that trend all the way to their best quarter ever. Speed isn't just a convenience; it's a competitive advantage.
A reorder shouldn't feel like starting from scratch. It should be the easiest and most rewarding part of our partnership.
How quickly can they ramp up production for a reorder?
You need to restock a hot item, and you need it now. But you're worried your factory will treat it like a totally new project, with the same long setup time and delays.
A reorder is never treated like a new order. Production can be ramped up quickly, often in 15–30 days. We keep a portion of our production capacity reserved specifically for repeat orders from our partners.
The initial order involves a lot of setup: pattern making, sample approvals, and sourcing new materials.
For a reorder, all that work is already done. We have your approved patterns, your exact wash formulas, and all the hardware specifications saved in our system.
This allows us to skip the entire development phase. We reserve about 5-10% of our monthly production capacity just for reorders like yours.
This means we don't have to find a spot for you in the schedule; there's already one waiting. Smaller reorders can be even faster if the fabric is on hand.
| Reorder Size | Typical Lead Time | Expedited Option |
|---|---|---|
| Small Batch (≤500 units) | 10–15 days | 7 days (with premium) |
| Large Scale (≥5,000 units) | 20–30 days | 15–20 days (with premium) |
Can they reserve fabric for my next season?
You found the perfect custom denim3 for your brand. But you're afraid that by the time you reorder, the mill will have sold out or changed it, ruining your product's consistency.
Yes, we can absolutely reserve your exact fabric. With a small deposit, we will purchase and hold your custom denim and trims for 3–6 months, guaranteeing both availability and a locked-in price.
In the denim world, fabric is everything. The color, the weight, and the feel are your brand's signature.
A good partner protects that for you. Our fabric reservation service is designed to give you peace of mind.
With a 10-20% deposit, we will buy your chosen fabric from the mill and store it safely in our warehouse. This fabric is exclusively yours.
It protects you from two big risks: price increases from a volatile cotton market and the fabric becoming unavailable.
It ensures every reorder has the exact same look and feel as your original production run.
This is especially critical for unique, custom-dyed, or specialty fabrics that can't be easily replaced.
We typically require a minimum reservation of 500 meters, but this simple step is one of the most effective strategies for building a reliable supply chain.
What reorder discounts or price holds are available?
You are a loyal customer bringing consistent repeat business to a factory. Yet, they charge you the same full price every single time, offering no tangible reward for your partnership.
We believe loyalty should be rewarded. That’s why we offer structured incentives for reorders, including tiered volume discounts, frequency bonuses, and price holds that lock in your cost for 3-6 months.
Your success is our success. When you reorder, you are helping us plan our production more efficiently.
We pass those savings back to you. We don't have a confusing, case-by-case discount system. We have a clear and transparent structure so you know exactly what to expect.
Loyalty is a two-way street, and we want to be your long-term production partner, not just a one-time supplier. Our pricing structure is designed to reflect that commitment.
For our most committed partners, we can even extend price holds for up to a year with an annual volume agreement.
| Incentive Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Volume Discount | 3-5% for same-size reorders. 6-10% for 2x volume. |
| Frequency Bonus | An extra 2-3% discount for 3+ reorders within one year. |
| Price Hold | Your original order price is locked for all reorders in the next 3-6 months. |
How do they track my reorder history and preferences?
Every time you place a reorder, it feels like you're starting from scratch.
You have to re-explain every little detail—the stitch thread, the wash level, the specific packaging—and you just hope they get it right.
We use a dedicated client management system4 that acts as your brand’s memory. It stores every technical detail, wash recipe, fabric code, and custom preference to ensure perfect consistency with zero effort from you.
For a designer like you, the details are not just details; they are the product. A mistake in the stitch color5 or wash finish is not acceptable.
Our system is built to prevent that. When we complete your first order, we create a master file for your brand.
It's more than just an order form; it's a complete technical blueprint. We tag preferences for everything from the thread thickness to the placement of the back patch.
Your dedicated account manager uses this file to create every reorder. They can even proactively remind you when it's time to reorder or reserve more fabric.
This file is shared directly with our production managers on the factory floor, so the team making your jeans sees the exact same information.
It removes the risk of human error and ensures your 10th reorder is identical to your first.
