Drawcord casual shorts buyer questions
Can I change the inseam and leg opening?
Provide front and back rise, inseam, hip and leg-opening measurements. Check walking, sitting and movement on the target wearer, including whether the lower trim restricts the opening or encourages ride-up.
How should the waistband and cord be specified?
Approve relaxed and stretched waist measurements, band width, elastic construction, cord length and exit points. Check comfort and adjustment on a sample rather than assuming the cord alone provides secure fit.
Can I change the striped hem colors?
Submit trim color references, stripe widths and attachment requirements. Review shrinkage and color compatibility between the body, waistband and lower trim after the agreed care checks.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
Photos cannot verify usable pocket dimensions. Provide the intended item size, then approve opening width, bag depth and whether a closure is required on a worn sample.
Can I add my own logo or a matching top?
Supply original artwork with size and placement, plus a separate top brief if required. Approve the decoration method and color relationship between garments; specify whether the quote covers shorts only or a set.
What determines MOQ, cost and lead time?
Fabric sourcing, color quantities, contrasting trims, decoration setup, pocket construction and size range affect the quote. Confirm sample scope, packing and project milestones before bulk production.
