Planning a first denim order at 100 pieces
A low MOQ lets a new denim brand test a fit and wash without committing to a large inventory, but it changes how you should plan. With 100 pcs as the starting quantity, every additional color, wash or size splits the order into smaller runs. Keeping the first drop focused usually gives a better result than spreading the quantity thinly.
A practical approach is one fit, one or two washes and a size range that reflects your real customer data. Once the first drop sells through, reorders can add colors or fits using the approved sample as the reference.
Where small denim orders need extra care
Wash is the main risk in a small order. Shade naturally varies between wash batches, so agree a shade band at the sample stage and keep the approved sample as the reference. Fabric availability is the second consideration: some fabrics are easier to source in small quantities than others, so stay flexible on the exact fabric if the budget is tight.
Custom hardware and patches can also have their own minimums. If they do not match your order size, standard hardware with a custom patch or label is a common way to keep branding without overbuying trims.
- Confirm the fabric option before finalizing fit, because shrinkage affects measurements.
- Agree a shade band and keep the approved wash sample.
- Check trim minimums for buttons, rivets and patches early.
- Plan the size split based on expected demand, not a full run.
Timeline expectations
Samples typically take 7 days once the brief and materials are confirmed. Bulk timing depends on order quantity and is confirmed after sample approval. Allow time for at least one round of sample comments; a well-prepared tech pack is the most reliable way to reduce revisions. See the product programs to choose a fit, or send your brief from the contact page.
How MOQ applies across sizes and washes
The 100 pcs MOQ is the starting quantity for a style. When you split it across washes and sizes, each wash becomes a smaller run, which increases the chance of small shade differences between batches. Keeping to one or two washes in the first order gives the most consistent result. Ask how any split you plan will affect the quote before finalizing quantities.
Low MOQ tip
Ask about fabric minimums too; they may affect small orders.
Quick note
Keep the size split realistic for your audience.
