Washed T-Shirt OEM Quote Checklist for Buyers

What should a buyer include in a washed t-shirt OEM quote request?

A useful RFQ removes guesswork. State the product, target quantity, 220–300 GSM preference, cotton or blend, wash effect, color count, size ratio, artwork, labels, packaging, destination (NA/EU) and required ship date. For samples, send reference photos or a tech pack first.

• Order: bulk quantity, color/size ratio, target price and incoterm.

Can I request a sample before the bulk order?

Which wash and construction should I compare in an RFQ?

Compare enzyme versus acid wash: enzyme gives controlled softness with lower shade variance, while acid wash creates high-contrast vintage effects with more shade risk. Side-seam improves fit consistency while tubular construction can lower sewing cost. Ask for both options when undecided; a sample lets the buyer approve hand feel, shade and measurements before bulk.

Buyer specification notes

For each color, list Pantone or a physical reference and expected wash character. For each size, provide finished measurements and tolerance. Note whether the sample is blank, printed or fully private label. Include artwork file format, print location, label dimensions, pack ratio and carton quantity. These details help a factory build a comparable quote instead of using a generic tee assumption.

What a quote should clarify

A buyer-ready quote should state sample cost, bulk unit price, development lead time, production window, payment terms, carton details and shipping basis. Clarify whether wash testing, inspection, labels and freight are included. This makes supplier quotes comparable and helps a brand approve the first order without hidden assumptions.

2. Confirm sample and 220–300 GSM target.

3. Review quote and lead-time assumptions.

4. Approve sample, labels and packaging.

5. Release the 1000-piece bulk order.

Yes. Sample requests are allowed even though bulk MOQ is 1000 pieces. Email postmaster@weavnora.com with your reference, size, color and destination. Weavnora aims to reply within 1 business day and supports NA/EU buyer programs.
