Made for Fince Up
Varsity jackets in five colorways, plus matching tees and shorts, for a US streetwear label.
Real talk, finding a manufacturer you can actually trust ain't easy. Sharknits came through for me heavy. I had a vision for my brand, and they didn't just get it, they executed it clean. The quality was solid, turnaround was quick, and they kept me in the loop the whole way. I ain't switching up, they're locked in as my go-to for every drop now.

What does MOQ mean?
MOQ stands for minimum order quantity. It is the smallest number of pieces a factory will make in one order. Ours is usually 25 pieces per style and color.
Can I split 25 pieces across colors?
Usually not. The minimum counts per style and color, so two colors means 25 of each. Tell us what you have in mind and we will confirm.
Can I mix sizes in one order?
Yes. Sizes count together inside the minimum, so 25 black hoodies can run from S to XL.
Can you make just one piece?
We make one physical sample first, so you can check your design. Production starts at the minimum, usually 25 pieces per style and color.
How much money do I need to start?
The first cost is the sample: $150 to $500, depending on the design, plus its shipping. You get a quote for the full order, and full payment is due when the order is ready to ship.
Can I order more later?
Yes. Start small, then order bigger runs as you grow. Fince Up, one of our clients, now comes back to us for every drop.
