Estimate, not a quote

What a run roughly costs

A planning range before you ask a factory. The price you pay is the one the factory quotes, and you pay the factory directly.

Calculator estimate per piece, full package, ex-factory
Garment100–300pieces per style300–500pieces per style500–1,000pieces per style1,000+pieces per style
Jacketouterwear£42.00–90.00£35.00–75.00£30.80–66.00£27.30–58.50

Typical UK CMT: £28–65 for a jacket, fabric not included.

How we got these: the live calculator’s base price × mid-range fabric (×1.00) × standard construction (×1.00) × the quantity band (×1.20, ×1.00, ×0.88, ×0.78). Estimates, not quotes: fabric, trims and your tech pack move the number, and the factory quotes you directly. Fill, seam taping, linings and hardware move outerwear towards the top of the range.

Before you send

What to put in an outerwear brief

None of this is required to send a brief: send what you have and we ask for the rest. The more you tick, the faster a factory can quote.

Outerwear questions

Straight answers on UK outerwear

What brands ask before they send an outerwear brief.

From 150 pieces per style. We confirm the exact minimum for your fabric and construction before you commit to anything.

Sampling takes 2–4 weeks. Bulk takes 9–11 weeks from the approved sample, longer than jersey because of the panels, trims and heavier fabric. Send the brief at least 14 weeks before your ship date.

Typical UK cut, make and trim prices are £28–65 for a jacket, fabric not included. The calculator estimate for a full-package jacket at 100–300 pieces is £42.00–90.00 per piece. The factory quotes you directly once it has your tech pack.

Try the cost calculator

Yes. If you need GOTS, OEKO-TEX or GRS, say so in the brief and we only place it with factories that can show a current certificate for that product.

Not to send a brief. For outerwear the factory needs one before it can quote, because trims and construction drive the price. Our tech pack service makes one for £79 per style in 3–5 working days.
