Women's streetwear sets sell on proportion: a cropped top with a high-waist bottom, where the gap between hem and waistband is measured and intentional. Cut from unisex patterns, the proportions never line up.
Mike Apparel manufactures cropped sweatsuits on a women's or unisex crop block: cropped hoodie or crewneck with a high-rise jogger, flare pant, biker short or sweat short, graded together so the top hem and waistband sit where the design intends. Mike Apparel is a custom cropped sweatsuit manufacturer with a 50-piece minimum per design, a 2–3 weeks production window after sample approval and full private label on every run.
Fabric options for custom sweatsuits
Fabric decides most of what a customer feels, so we quote every custom sweatsuit against a specific cloth rather than a vague ‘premium cotton’. The options below are stocked or knitted to order in Sialkot; lab dips and hand-feel swatches ship before sampling. If you are unsure, sample the cropped sweatsuit in 320 GSM brushed fleece first; it is the construction we recommend for soft cropped set.
| Fabric | Specification | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 320 GSM brushed fleece | 80/20 cotton-poly | soft cropped set |
| 400 GSM heavyweight fleece | 100% cotton | structured boxy crop set |
| 350 GSM cotton-spandex fleece | 95/5 | fitted crop set with stretch |
| 340 GSM French terry | 100% cotton | summer crop set |
Fit and silhouette options
Fit is graded from our house blocks or from your tech pack, in US sizing from XS to 3XL, with each size measured on the pre-production sample against your spec sheet. The most requested cropped sweatsuit block is the boxy crop hoodie + high-waist jogger.
- Boxy crop hoodie + high-waist jogger
- Crop crewneck + flare sweatpant
- Crop hoodie + biker short
- Crop zip hoodie + wide-leg pant
How we build a custom sweatsuit
Construction is where a sweatsuit either earns its retail price or does not. The details below are standard on our sweatsuits; anything not listed can be specified. Start your cropped sweatsuit tech pack with this line: crop hem at natural waist or spec, rib or raw.
- Crop hem at natural waist or spec, rib or raw
- High-rise waistband 8–10 cm with internal drawcord
- Top and bottom graded together for the gap
- Flare pant with a clean-finished hem
- Set cut from one lot
Decoration options for sweatsuits
Decoration happens under the same roof as cutting and sewing. For sweatsuits we recommend the methods below; artwork is reviewed before sampling so placement and scale are right the first time. On a cropped sweatsuit the most common request is centre-chest and hip embroidery.
- Centre-chest and hip embroidery
- Garment dye in pastel and tonal shades
- Vintage wash
- Contrast drawcords
- Raw-edge distressing

Private label, labels and packaging
Private label is included, not an upsell. A custom sweatsuit from Mike Apparel ships with your woven or printed neck label, size tab, care label and, if you want them, hang tags, custom poly bags and printed boxes. Send vector artwork and we produce label samples alongside the garment sample. See our private label clothing page for label types, minimums and artwork specs. A typical cropped sweatsuit run carries a woven main label, printed care label and hang tag; women's sweatsuit programmes often add a woven hem loop.
Custom sweatsuit price bands
What a custom sweatsuit costs depends on the cloth, how much decoration it carries and how many you order. These are representative per-set ranges for the options above; your quote lists fabric, trims, decoration, labels and packaging separately. At the low end a cropped sweatsuit in 320 GSM brushed fleece with one placement lands near $26; at the top, 400 GSM heavyweight fleece with multiple placements and full packaging reaches $48.
| Quantity | Price per set (USD) |
|---|---|
| 50–100 sets | $26 – $48 |
| 100–300 sets | $23 – $42 |
| 300–1,000 sets | $20 – $37 |
| 1,000+ sets | $18.20 – $34 |
Quoted prices exclude freight; we quote DDP separately so you see the landed cost to your door. Sample fees are credited against the bulk order.

Cropped Sweatsuit reorders skip the sample fee entirely and are priced at the band of the total quantity ordered to date.
