Mike Apparel manufactures custom streetwear for Houston brands with a 50-piece MOQ per design, a 2–3 weeks lead time and DDP delivery to Houston in 4–6 days. Cut and sew, private label, in-house print, embroidery and wash, factory-direct from Sialkot.
Houston's streetwear scene is big, spread out and closely tied to its music culture, with brands selling through pop-ups, car shows and online drops rather than a single retail strip. Quantities are large per drop and product ranges are wide.
Why Houston brands manufacture with us
Houston brands tend to order broad ranges, tees, hoodies, shorts, hats, in one go. Cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery and headwear are all under one roof in Sialkot, so a full range ships as one DDP consignment to IAH with one invoice.
Our USA streetwear manufacturing page explains the model: 50-piece MOQ, 2–3 weeks lead time, in-house decoration and DDP delivery. For Houston brands the practical difference is a landed cost per piece that is known before the order is placed.

A typical first order from Houston
A first run from a Houston label is usually two products: graphic tees and long sleeves and 350 GSM hoodies, 50 pieces each, one or two colours, with a woven neck label and hang tag. Sampling both together takes the same 7–10 days as sampling one. Once the fit is approved, most brands extend into French terry shorts and sets and snapbacks and trucker hats using the same block, fabric lot and label set.
Shipping to Houston: DDP, duties paid
Air freight from Sialkot reaches Houston in 4–6 days via IAH once the run ships, delivered DDP: duties, taxes and customs clearance are paid by us and included in the quote. Sea freight via the Port of Houston costs less for large runs and takes four to six weeks. Every shipment is packed to your carton spec with size stickers and a packing list, and can go straight to a 3PL or fulfilment centre. Full details on our DDP shipping page.
Sizing for the Houston market
All blocks are graded to US sizing from XS to 3XL, with oversized and boxy silhouettes graded so a customer buys their normal size. We keep Houston clients’ patterns and grade rules on file so reorders match. See our US streetwear sizing guide for the measurements we start from.
