With each custom order, you will receive a sample before we start full production. We will not begin production until you are completely satisfied with, and have approved, your sample.

We measure our turnaround time in days and weeks, not months. You will typically receive your sample 7-10 days business after placing your order, and your complete order 2-4 weeks after approving your sample.

We can sew private labels into any of our products, or any custom product you work with us to produce. We do request that labels have a 3/8" bleed so your logo doesn't get cut off in production. The minimums for a private label order will be based on the style being ordered. Each style/fabric will have different minimums. The average minimum for a custom order will be between 1,500-2,500 pieces per color, 200 per size.

When placing a cut and sew order minimums will be based on the style being ordered. Each style/fabric will have different minimums. The average minimum for a custom order will be between 1,500-2,500 pieces per color, 200 per size. Please note that American Apparel is not a general contractor and will only produce styles that require basic sewing construction.

We can produce any style in virtually any color - all we need is a fabric swatch or Pantone™ swatch. You will typically receive your lab dip sample 1-2 weeks after placing your order, and your final production fabric two weeks after approving your sample. When ordering a custom color we require the customer to order in full lots and the customer is required to consume everything that is produced form the fabric. American Apparel will not store any custom fabric.
