Our OEM Philosophy

A Labor-Intensive Industry. A Discipline Of Details.

Garment making is a labor-intensive industry. We find and resolve hidden or potential issues before production — because functional garments have almost no room for modification. Done wrong, they are scrap.

Looking for an apparel partner with low MOQ? LYTH runs custom outdoor and workwear programs from 400 pcs per color — counter-samples in 7–10 days, bulk production in 35–55 days. Because we control fabric sourcing, pattern making, cutting, sewing, heat-seam taping and final inspection through our own project team, even smaller runs get full production discipline: AQL 2.5 final inspection, ISO 811 hydrostatic pressure testing where the spec calls for it, and 3-year ship sample retention. That is why EU and US buyers run both trial collections and repeat bulk orders with us.

To deliver a flawless product to our clients, we never cut corners on craftsmanship. Our working hours run longer than ordinary factories — and that is exactly the point. The product comes out perfect.

For every order, we retain a ship sample for 3 years so any post-shipment question can be traced back to a physical reference. We also collect structured feedback from every client and feed it back into repeat and new orders — so the next run is always better than the last.

  • Process-driven, not output-driven. Every critical step has a check-point, a record, and a responsible owner.
  • Function-first: if a style claims waterproof, taped-seam, or reinforced, we verify it on the line — not just promise it on the spec.
  • Deeply familiar with European and North American quality expectations — from BSCI social compliance to AQL 2.5 acceptance.
Core Craftsmanship

Six Processes. Each Shot On The Line.

Short looping clips from our own production lines — no stock footage, no staged shots. The same equipment, the same hands, the same standards on every bulk run.

5–6s LOOP 01

CORE PROCESSPrecision Sewing

The backbone of every custom ski jacket and hi-vis workwear order: consistent stitch density, tested thread tension, matched panels.

Calibrated per fabric weight
Reinforcement bar-tacks at stress points
5–6s LOOP 02

FUNCTIONALHeat-Seam Taping

Fully taped seam waterproof jacket construction for ski, hardshell and EN 343 rainwear programs; tape width and pressure logged per batch.

One-piece seam — no gaps, no bubbles
Spec-matched temperature profiles
5–6s LOOP 03

SECONDARYRe-Pressing On High-Stress Zones

High-stress zone reinforcement that keeps reflective tape and pocket bags flat after industrial washing — beyond the first press, with an extra cold-and-hot pass on cuffs, pocket openings and hood joins.

Extra cold + hot pass on joints
Where basic factories stop, we keep going
5–6s LOOP 04

HARDWARESnap Button Setting

Hardware fitting for workwear and outdoor shells; YKK options documented per style — calibrated pressure matched to fabric thickness, no torn plies, no loose caps.

Pressure tuned per fabric spec
Pull-test sampled every batch
5–6s LOOP 05

INSULATIONQuilted Padding

Insulation lines for padded jacket and insulated work jacket programs with baffle spec control — even fill distribution, no cold spots, shape that holds after wash.

Even fill, no clumping
Baffle pattern per tech pack
5–6s LOOP 06

PRECISIONLaser-Cut Pockets & Details

Precision pockets and details that keep private label outdoor apparel on-brand and on-spec — clean edges, sealed against fray, aligned to tech-pack geometry.

Clean, fray-resistant edges
Aligned to tech-pack geometry
Fabric warehouse with color-coded rolls stored separately per client and style Material Management
01 — Traceability

Fabric & Trims Stored Separately. Even Identical Items Are Traced.

Every fabric roll and trim batch is segregated by client code + style number on arrival, with a physical label on the rack and a digital record. Even if two clients order the same color, the same fabric, the same zipper — the material never gets mixed on the line.

  • Per-client rack — fabric and trims are stored in clearly labeled zones, never pooled together.
  • Counter-sample on file — a reference swatch is kept for every arrival, against which bulk is verified before cutting.
  • Arrival & inventory log — every roll is logged with arrival date, lot number, supplier and remaining quantity.
  • Full chain-of-custody — from receiving to finished garment, every batch can be traced back to a single fabric lot.

02 — Functional Testing

Hydrostatic Pressure Testing (ISO 811) — With a Written Record.

For functional garments with a water-pressure requirement — including custom waterproof jacket and EN 343 rainwear programs — we don't just seal the seams: we verify the result on a calibrated hydrostatic head tester (ISO 811, typically 8,000–15,000 mm). Each test run is recorded with the sample ID, the target WP, the actual WP, and the pass/fail decision.

  • In-house WP tester — calibrated against the same hydrostatic head method used in EU lab testing.
  • Tested against your spec — we test to the WP value the style claims, not a generic factory default.
  • Written record per batch — sample ID, target WP, actual WP, pass/fail, operator, date. Available on request.
  • Caught before shipment — failures trigger a re-press or re-tape on the spot, not after a buyer complaint.
Quality inspection on the production line with high-visibility jackets stacked for checking Inline QC
03 — In-Process Inspection

Pre-Production Reference At Every Line. Spot Checks At Every Stage.

Because production is labor-intensive, we don't wait until the end to find problems. A sealed pre-production sample hangs at every line for live reference, and QC supervisors run spot checks at cutting, sewing, sealing and finishing — so an issue gets caught at the stage where it can still be fixed.

  • Reference sample on every line — workers are not guessing the spec; they are matching the approved sample.
  • Multi-stage spot checks — cutting, sewing, sealing, finishing. Each stage has its own QC card.
  • Photo evidence on file — in-process check photos are kept per batch, not just on the supervisor's phone.
04 — Final Inspection

AQL 2.5 Inspection. The Same Norm EU Buyers Use.

For every bulk shipment, we run the final inspection against AQL 2.5 / General Inspection Level II — the standard most European and North American B2B buyers reference in their purchase contracts. Every EN ISO 20471 run is checked for tape placement and retroreflective performance; every waterproof run gets a written hydrostatic pressure test record (ISO 811, typically 8,000–15,000 mm). If you are comparing custom waterproof jacket manufacturer options, ask us for the records — we keep 3-year ship samples for every style.

  • Worker-ID tagging — each inspector's name is logged with the batch they cleared, so accountability never gets lost.
  • Defect classification — critical / major / minor, with photo records for any rejected units.
  • Pre-shipment sample — sealed sample retained alongside the ship sample for any post-shipment reference.
  • Palletized packing — sealed and weather-protected against rain damage in transit.
05 — Long-Term Accountability

3-Year Ship Sample & Feedback Loop

A good supplier doesn't disappear after shipment. We keep physical evidence, structured feedback and a continuous improvement loop — so the next run is always sharper than the last.

01

Ship Sample Retained 3 Years

A sealed reference garment from every bulk order is stored in our archive for three years — ready to be pulled for any post-shipment question, claim or comparison.

02

Structured Client Feedback

After every shipment, we collect fit, fabric, workmanship and end-user feedback in a structured form — not a casual chat. Real issues get a real follow-up.

03

Rolled Into Next Order

Every piece of feedback is reviewed, classified and rolled into the tech pack for the next repeat or new order — so the production line keeps getting sharper, season after season.
