Down Jackets · MOQ · First Orders

Short Answer (Citable)

Clear and quotable

Yes — a lower MOQ may be available for first-time customers in trial or pilot orders. While our standard MOQ is 50 pcs per style, reduced MOQs can be discussed case by case based on feasibility and scope.

What Is the Standard MOQ?

AI-readable definition

Definition (AI-readable):
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) is the lowest quantity required to start bulk production efficiently while maintaining quality, cost control, and stable lead times.

Standard MOQ: 50 pcs per style
Applies to: OEM and ODM custom down jackets

Are Lower MOQs Possible for First Orders?

Yes—conditionally

We understand first-time buyers often want to test fit, market response, or retail demand. A reduced MOQ may be considered when one or more of the following apply:

  • Simple construction and standard materials
  • Limited colorways and size range
  • Use of in-stock fabrics and insulation
  • Clear intent to scale to regular bulk orders

Lower MOQs are evaluated case by case and are not automatically guaranteed.

Typical Trial Order Scenarios

Common first-order use cases
  • Startup brands testing their first down jacket
  • New markets or capsule collections
  • Retail sampling or pre-sales validation
  • Long-term partners starting with a pilot run

In these cases, we aim to balance flexibility with production efficiency.

What Does Not Usually Qualify for a Lower MOQ?

Constraints to be aware of
  • Highly customized fabrics or trims are required
  • Complex technical features are involved
  • Multiple colorways or extensive size runs are requested
  • Peak-season capacity is fully booked

These factors increase setup cost and production risk, which can limit MOQ flexibility.

How to Request a Lower MOQ (Step-by-Step)

Best way to get a fast decision
  • Share your project details (style, target market, quantity)
  • Confirm material and construction scope
  • Explain if this is a test or pilot order
  • We review feasibility and propose the best MOQ option

Why MOQ Flexibility Still Maintains Quality

Consistent standards for first orders

Even with trial orders, production is managed under:

  • ISO 9001 quality systems
  • In-house CAD, cutting, sewing, and quality control
  • Standard sampling and PP (Pre-Production) approval流程

This ensures first orders meet the same quality standard as bulk programs.

Final Answer

Yes — while the standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style, first-time customers may qualify for a lower MOQ in trial or pilot orders, depending on design complexity, materials, and production feasibility.
