Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Polyester with Water-Repellent Finish
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Polyester with water-repellent finish for outerwear and jacket programmes. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is gripper band that holds without cutting circulation — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered after the shipment lands. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them. Test reports for GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same gripper band that holds without cutting circulation.
FAQ
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 10 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
