Men's apparel manufacturing for brands that cannot afford a bad batch
Underwear, undershirts, T-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts — developed, sampled and produced in one factory. 5,652㎡ of floor space, 500+ staff and 600,000 pieces of monthly capacity, with fabric knitting and dyeing under our own control.
A 20-year apparel factory built around men's basics
Established in 2004, Finetex Textile Co., Ltd. specializes in manufacturing men's knitwear for international markets. We provide comprehensive manufacturing services, from fabric sourcing and development to sampling, cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery, packing, and export documentation.
That vertical structure matters more than the factory's size. When the knit, the dye bath, the cutting room and the sewing line all answer to the same production plan, a shade difference or a half-size deviation gets caught before it becomes 6,000 rejected pieces. It is also why we can hold a quotation for 90 days when a trading company cannot.
- 5,652㎡ factory across production, sampling and warehouse
- 500+ trained operators across 12 production lines
- 40+ patents in fabric structure and garment design
- 40+ export markets, from North America to the EU and South America
What we actually take off your desk
Four workstreams that cover most of what a brand, importer or distributor outsources to a factory.
Product development
Tech pack review, pattern making, fit correction and fabric matching — from your sketch or from a reference sample you post to us.
OEM & ODM production
Bulk manufacturing to your specification, or adaptation of an existing block from our style library when speed matters more than originality.
Quality assurance
Incoming fabric inspection, in-line checks and an AQL 2.5 final audit, with photo reports before the container is loaded.
Trim, packing & delivery
Labels, hangtags, polybags, retail cartons and shipping documents, consolidated with your forwarder or one we arrange.
Six programmes we run every week
Each line has its own fabric library, block patterns and quality checkpoints.

From a sketch, a sample or a competitor product

- Pattern making and grading from your measurement sheet
- Fabric and trim sourcing with three price/quality options per component
- Fit samples in 5–7 days, graded size sets in 10–12 days
- Wash, print and embroidery trials on the actual bulk fabric
- Costing broken out by fabric, labour, trim and packing
Our Manufacturing Process
Requirement Confirmation
We review your product specifications, reference samples, fabric requirements, size charts, and branding details to establish a clear production brief before development begins.
Fabric & Material Sourcing
We source suitable fabrics and trims based on your requirements for composition, weight, color, hand feel, and performance, coordinating custom development when needed.
Sample Development
We develop samples based on your specifications to evaluate fit, construction, materials, and branding details. Sample feedback is reviewed before moving forward.
Sample Approval & Production Planning
Once the sample and key specifications are confirmed, we finalize the materials, size requirements, workmanship details, and production schedule for bulk manufacturing.
Fabric Inspection & Cutting
Materials are checked before cutting, with attention to fabric quality, color consistency, and relevant specifications. Cutting follows the confirmed size and pattern requirements.
Garment Manufacturing
Garments are produced according to the approved sample and specifications, with attention to stitching, construction, measurements, and workmanship throughout production.
Quality Inspection
Quality checks are carried out during production and before shipment to identify defects and verify that finished garments meet the agreed requirements.
Packing & Delivery
Finished products are packed according to your labeling, packaging, and carton requirements, then prepared for shipment according to the agreed delivery terms.
Certifications and testing that your importer will ask for
Certification is checked before the order is placed, not after. We hold the current reports and can arrange buyer-specific testing at the same time as the pre-production sample.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100
Fabric and trims tested for harmful substances against the current limit values, with the certificate renewed every year.
BSCI / Sedex audited factory
Social compliance audit reports available for your supplier onboarding file, covering wages, hours and safety.
Bamboo, modal and recycled fibre papers
Fibre composition and chain-of-custody documents for bamboo, Lenzing modal, TENCEL™ and recycled polyester claims.
Colour fastness and shrinkage reports
Wash, rub, perspiration and dimensional-stability tests run on the bulk fabric before cutting starts.
Country-of-origin and customs paperwork
Commercial invoice, packing list, HS codes and origin declaration prepared so your broker clears the shipment without a delay.
Buyer-specific testing programmes
We work directly with SGS, Intertek and Bureau Veritas for buyer protocols such as Walmart, Target or ISO 9001 programmes.
What long-term customers say
We moved three underwear programmes to Finetex after a bad season elsewhere. Two years later size consistency is still the reason we stay — we have not had a single chargeback on fit.
They flagged a shrinkage problem on our fleece before bulk cutting and re-tested the fabric. That saved an entire shipment, and nobody had asked them to check.
The team paid close attention to the product details and kept us informed throughout development. We appreciated their clear communication and consistent approach to quality.
Questions buyers ask before the first order
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Men's underwear starts at 500 pieces per style; T-shirts can start at 300 pieces per style, with mixed sizes. Custom fabric orders require 1,500–3,000 pieces per colour. Tell us your target quantity and we will confirm what is achievable.
How long does sampling take?
A development sample takes 5–7 working days after artwork and fabric are confirmed. A full size set takes 10–12 working days. Sample cost is credited against the bulk order.
What is the lead time for bulk production?
Bulk production runs 15–45 days from deposit and approved pre-production sample, depending on quantity, fabric availability and trim lead times. We confirm the schedule in writing before you pay the deposit.
Which payment terms do you accept?
T/T (30% deposit and 70% balance before shipment). PayPal is available for sample payments. Payment terms are confirmed in the proforma invoice.
Can you handle fabric, labels and packaging as well?
Yes. Fabric knitting, dyeing, cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery, labels, hangtags and retail packaging all sit inside our own supply chain, so a single purchase order covers the finished, retail-ready product.
How do you control quality?
We follow a three-stage quality inspection process, supported by daily production checks. Quality is monitored throughout manufacturing to ensure that finished garments meet the approved samples and specifications.
Do you work with small brands or only large volumes?
Both. Around a third of our programmes start below 1,000 pieces per style. What we ask for is a realistic forecast: a small first order is fine when there is a plan for a repeat, because development cost is amortised over the programme rather than the first shipment.
Are you a factory or a trading company?
We are the factory. Cutting, sewing, finishing and packing happen in our own 5,652㎡ facility, and fabric is knitted and dyed through mills we have worked with for over a decade. You can visit, audit or appoint a third-party inspector at any stage.
Manufacturing guides
Twelve hand-written guides, one head term each, covering every article on this site. Each guide walks the decision order for its topic and links the whole cluster.
Why brand owners choose a Chinese knitwear factory
For men’s basics, the case for manufacturing in China is not simply price. It is depth of supply: circular knitting machines, dye houses, elastic braid mills, printing houses and trim suppliers sit within a two-hour radius of our factory. A shade that has to be matched, an elastic that has to be re-woven, a label that has to be reprinted — each of those is a day, not a month, because the capability exists next door rather than across an ocean.
The trade-off is that capability has to be managed. A factory of 500 people can produce 600,000 pieces a month and still lose an order through a single unapproved lab dip. That is why our process is written down: every programme has a named merchandiser, a version-controlled specification and a documented approval at each of the eight stages above.
