This document should answer many initial questions and provide information on what to expect during the production process. This document is meant to be a general guideline and will be valid in most cases. However, since everything we produce is unique, there may be certain exceptions.
Our minimums generally start at 100 to 200 items per style, and color-way. This applies to most items with basic fabrics, colors, and prints. Items with unique or specialty fabrics may have higher minimums based on availability and/or difficulty to manufacturer or source?
We highly recommend making at least one prototype, or pre-production sample before going into production. In some cases (such as technical outerwear) it may be necessary to do multiple prototypes. Prototypes are for fit and build purposes only unless specified by the client. This means they will not have branding and may not be the exact fabrics or colors of provided samples or production pieces. In most cases, prototypes are either partially or fully refundable on completion of a production order. Estimated timeframe for initial prototype production is 8 weeks. Salesman Samples are also available, these will be built to the exact specifications of your production run including all fabrics and embellishments. Salesman sample production takes an estimated 8-12 weeks. Please contact us for inquiries and pricing.
We don’t offer free samples. Because moslty there are many complicated and expensive thing are held during the sampling process. For Example Metal Moulds, Size Grading Pattrens, Printing Screens, Printing on big Digital Machines etc and many other things.
The length of time it takes for you to receive your samples and prototypes depend entirely on your requirements. With that being said however, we aim to produce a pre production prototype within 2-4 weeks of order placement. We will discuss this with you throughout the design process.
Typically our team is able to source and match most requested fabrics and materials for our clients. However, we cannot guarantee that we will find what you are looking for in the open markets. If we are not having the fabrics or manufacturing your materials to specific requirements we are limited to what is available on the open market. During fabric sourcing, type and weight will be prioritized, followed by pattern and colors. Based on circumstances and availability, production fabric may slightly differ from prototypes and salesman samples.
We help our clients bring just about any design aspect and embellishment desired to life. Most common embellishment applications are screen prints, sublimation, embroidery. If you have questions about other possible embellishment applications please contact us, The experts will help every step of the way. Metal work (such as custom zipper pulls, Embossing and buttons) requires a 1 time setup charge of around $150 per dye that can be reused for any pieces. Certain embellishments (such as full fabric, Rexine, leather, Latex print patterns) may increase the minimum quantities needed to produce your garment and other accessories.
We always encourage placing orders one season in advance. Estimated timeframe for delivery on production is 16-18 weeks unless otherwise arranged. Any garment / item may be under or over produced by approximately 5%. In this case we request that the client accept the surplus within these margins. If the client does not wish to take additional product, please contact us to make prior agreements before beginning the process to place an order.

We have several house fits that many of our clients use. Otherwise, clients may send samples, which we can recreate and add some minor adjustments (such as added length). A client may also send full tech specs. However, we generally discourage our clients from doing this unless they are highly experienced pattern makers.
Worbel Sports will send tech packs to the client for final review and approval before they are finalized for production. At this time it is the client’s responsibility to review and ask for any changes to be made, or details to be added. Finalized and approved tech packs will be used for production orders and Worbel Sports is not responsible for any details overlooked during the review process.
