Custom French Terry Sweatsuit Manufacturer

Sunbelt brands sell sweatsuits twelve months a year, and fleece is too warm for eight of them. French terry sets have the same look with a cooler, cleaner inside and a drape that photographs sharper.

We manufacture French terry sweatsuits in 300 to 420 GSM loopback cotton terry: hoodie or crewneck plus jogger or short, cut from one lot, with 2×2 rib and matching hardware. The loop side can face in for comfort or out as a texture detail. For brands searching for a custom french terry sweatsuit manufacturer that treats a 50-piece order like a real order, Mike Apparel samples first, produces in 2–3 weeks and delivers duties-paid.

Choosing the cloth for a custom sweatsuit

Every sweatsuit programme starts with a swatch card. These are the constructions we recommend for sweatsuits; any of them can be dyed to Pantone and most can be washed or garment-dyed after sewing. For the french terry sweatsuit most brands start with 340 GSM French terry and step up to 400 GSM heavy French terry when they want heavyweight terry set.

Silhouettes and sizing

The silhouette options we run for sweatsuits are listed below. Any of them can be adjusted to a reference garment you send us, and we grade to US sizing as standard. For a french terry sweatsuit, we usually sample the hoodie + jogger first and adjust from there.

• Hoodie + jogger
• Crewneck + short
• Oversized hoodie + wide pant
• Cropped hoodie + high-waist jogger

What is inside the seams

The stitch, rib, thread and hardware choices below are what separate a factory sweatsuit from a promotional blank. All are standard on our runs. Start your french terry sweatsuit tech pack with this line: loopback inside, smooth jersey face.

• Loopback inside, smooth jersey face
• Optional reverse (loop-out) panels for texture
• Matching rib and drawcords
• Joggers with side pockets and rib or open hem
• Set cut and dyed together

Branding the sweatsuit

We handle all decoration internally, which keeps lead times at 2–3 weeks and removes the hand-off between a blank supplier and a printer. Options that suit a sweatsuit: On a french terry sweatsuit the most common request is screen print on the smooth face.

• Screen print on the smooth face
• Embroidery
• Garment dye for tonal sets
• Enzyme wash for a peached face
• Contrast loop-out pockets

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 french terry sweatsuit run carries a woven main label, printed care label and hang tag; loopback sweatsuit programmes often add a woven hem loop.

French Terry Sweatsuit minimum order quantity

Every custom sweatsuit run starts at 50 pieces per design and colourway, sizes mixed however you like. Order more and the per-set cost comes down, because cutting, sampling and setup are spread over a bigger run — that’s true whether you’re ordering sweatsuits on their own or alongside other products. A simpler french terry sweatsuit in 340 GSM French terry with one placement costs less than the same style in 400 GSM heavy French terry with multiple placements and full packaging.

For an exact number, send us the fabric, decoration and quantity you have in mind and we’ll send back a full written quote, itemised by fabric, trims, decoration and labels, with DDP shipping quoted separately so you see the landed cost.

French Terry Sweatsuit reorders skip the sample fee entirely, since the block and fabric lot are already on file.

Delivery to the USA and beyond

Four to seven days by air to Miami, Dallas or anywhere else in the country; worldwide shipping is available on the same terms. More on streetwear manufacturing for USA brands and DDP shipping. For french terry sweatsuit reorders over 300 pieces we quote sea freight alongside air so you can trade a few weeks for a lower landed cost.
