FAQ
Manufacturing in China, Answered.
The questions international brands ask us most often before starting a garment development and manufacturing project with DISTRICT 88.
DISTRICT 88 LTD is a premium garment development and manufacturing partner headquartered in Hong Kong, with China operations in Shanghai and Hangzhou. The company works with international fashion, sportswear, cycling, technical apparel, and swimwear brands.
DISTRICT 88 manufactures five main categories: Fashion & Lifestyle (including heavyweight cotton jerseys, hoodies, and loungewear), Sportswear, Cycling apparel, Technical Apparel, and Swimwear — from delicate fashion garments to complex performance constructions.
Yes. DISTRICT 88 covers the full development cycle: pattern making, grading, construction solutions, material sourcing, and iterative sampling. Brands can arrive with a tech pack, a sketch, a physical sample, or just a concept.
The sourcing network covers premium jersey and heavyweight cotton, French Terry, fleece, polyester, nylon, elastane blends, specialized mesh, quick-dry and moisture-wicking fabrics, breathable membranes, and 4-way stretch textiles. Certified organic cotton is available on request.
Sampling is iterative: a prototype is produced from the tech pack or reference, then fitted and adjusted until measurements, fabric drape, and construction meet the brand's standards. Only approved samples move to pre-production and bulk manufacturing.
Quality control is integrated at every stage of manufacturing — not only at the end. Inspections cover measurements, construction, finishing, and packaging, so issues are caught before goods are packed and dispatched.
Yes. The service scope includes custom finishing, private label packaging, and coordination for seamless international dispatch, so brands can focus on design and marketing while DISTRICT 88 handles technical execution and logistics.
