Track pants live on the stripe and the ankle. A stripe that wanders off the seam line, an ankle zip that catches, a hem that flares wrong: buyers notice at once. Woven and knit track pants need different blocks and we run both.
Mike Apparel manufactures track pants in polyester tricot, interlock, nylon and cotton-poly with sewn-in side stripes, elastic-and-drawcord waist, zip pockets, and tapered, straight or wide legs with rib, elastic, open or zip ankles. As a custom track pants manufacturer, Mike Apparel runs 50-piece minimums, samples every style before bulk and turns production in 2–3 weeks, with your labels sewn in at the factory.
Fabrics we run for tracksuits
We hold these fabrics for tracksuits and knit or weave others to spec. Each has a different hand, drape and shrink profile, and the sample stage exists so you can feel the difference before committing 50 pieces to it. If you are unsure, sample the track pants in Polyester tricot 260 GSM first; it is the construction we recommend for classic track pant.
| Fabric | Specification | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester tricot 260 GSM | 100% polyester | classic track pant |
| Cotton-poly interlock 300 GSM | 65/35 | cotton-feel track pant |
| Crinkle nylon 210 GSM, lined | 100% nylon | shell track pant |
| Poly-spandex French terry 280 GSM | 95/5 | soft stretch track pant |
Track Pants fits we build
We build the pattern on one of the blocks below or from your own measurements, grade it across XS to 3XL for the US market, and confirm every size on the sample before cutting bulk. For a track pants, we usually sample the tapered with rib ankle first and adjust from there.
- Tapered with rib ankle
- Straight with open hem
- Wide-leg track pant
- Snap-side tearaway pant
What is inside the seams
The stitch, rib, thread and hardware choices below are what separate a factory tracksuit from a promotional blank. All are standard on our runs. The single most important line in a track pants spec is: sewn-in stripes aligned to the side seam.
- Sewn-in stripes aligned to the side seam
- Waistband with encased elastic and drawcord
- Zip side pockets, optional back zip pocket
- Ankle zips, rib cuffs or open hems
- Tearaway version with snap tape down the leg
Decoration options for tracksuits
Decoration happens under the same roof as cutting and sewing. For tracksuits we recommend the methods below; artwork is reviewed before sampling so placement and scale are right the first time. For track pants decoration, thigh embroidery leads, followed by sublimated stripes and panels.
- Thigh embroidery
- Sublimated stripes and panels
- Contrast piping
- Heat transfer logos
- Woven waistband label

Private label, labels and packaging
Your brand, not ours, is on the finished tracksuit. We sew in woven neck labels, size tabs and care labels to your artwork, attach hang tags and pack in branded poly bags or boxes. No Mike Apparel branding appears anywhere on the product. Our private label clothing page covers label options and minimums. A typical track pants run carries a woven main label, printed care label and hang tag; striped track pants programmes often add a woven hem loop.
What a custom tracksuit costs
What a custom tracksuit 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. A track pants specified in Polyester tricot 260 GSM sits at the lower end of these bands; Cotton-poly interlock 300 GSM and heavy decoration push it toward $28.
| Quantity | Price per set (USD) |
|---|---|
| 50–100 sets | $15.00 – $28 |
| 100–300 sets | $13.20 – $25 |
| 300–1,000 sets | $11.70 – $22 |
| 1,000+ sets | $10.50 – $19.60 |
