Erten production approach

Plan production around your brand, from fabric and fit to sampling and packaging.

Style and colour options

Choose your collection direction.

Functional pockets and freedom of movement define a cargo shirt. For urban collections, travel ranges and utility brands, establish the intended use before choosing pocket count. A lightweight shirt and a layering piece require different volume and materials.
Cargo Shirts — Khaki flap-pocket style

Khaki flap-pocket style

An earthy shade and pronounced chest pockets support the utility look. Choose flap details and button colour as part of the whole garment.

Bellows add pocket volume. Sleeve roll-up tabs and epaulettes can be considered alongside the intended use.

Cargo Shirts — Understated navy utility style

Tonal buttons and cleaner pockets suit urban collections. Flat flap pockets are an option when extra volume is unnecessary.

Fabric and collection direction

Cotton twill, poplin and suitable durable weaves are assessed against the intended garment weight. Samples show how the fabric supports pockets and trims.

Style-specific manufacturing details

Flap pockets, bellows pockets, epaulettes and sleeve tabs are dimensioned in the technical drawing. Pocket placement, reinforcement and closure comfort are checked against intended use.

Erten shirt production area

From sample to order

Start with a reference garment, size chart or design file. We review styles, colours and size quantities alongside labels, packaging and the destination country. Sample approval, material availability and a written quotation establish the production scope.

Product development guide

The right sample. Clear decisions.

Fit and wearing comfort

Loaded pockets can change how the shirt front hangs. Test pocket placement, chest ease and arm movement together; assess back and upper-arm allowance separately for layering. Keep hem length in proportion to the pockets.

What to check on the sample

Include pocket corners, flap symmetry and reinforcement points in the inspection plan. Test button or snap compatibility with the fabric, and assess the garment with pockets both empty and in use.

Care, finishing and packing

For a washed finish, check pocket and flap shape after treatment. Drying and pressing behaviour at layered areas depends on the fabric. Include the post-care colour and surface of trims in the approval scope.

Preparing for samples and a quote

A starting point for your project.

Share your preferences for this style, approximate quantity, colour and size breakdown, target date and delivery country.
  • Pocket number, dimensions and intended use
  • Bellows, flaps, epaulettes and sleeve-tab preferences
  • Standalone or outer-layer use

If your tech pack is not ready, we can start with a well-fitting reference garment, measurements and visual references. Agree fabric, fit and trim approvals before production.

Planning from sample to production

  1. Pattern development and first sample

    A shirt fit / buying sample takes approximately 3-7 working days, depending on product complexity, materials and complete technical inputs.

  2. Sales sample

    A shirt sales sample takes approximately 2-4 weeks; revisions and material sourcing may affect timing.

  3. Production and preparation for dispatch

    Shirt production to dispatch readiness takes approximately 3-6 weeks, planned once order scope, approvals and material preparation are complete.

before you decide

frequently asked
questions.

Can pocket numbers and positions be customised?

Yes. Share pocket drawings, approximate dimensions and intended use. Sampling assesses their effects on fabric consumption, sewing time and garment balance.

Does every cargo-shirt pocket need reinforcement?

This depends on pocket construction, fabric and use. A decorative pocket and a load-bearing pocket have different needs. Mark critical areas on the technical drawing and use the sample to select suitable stitching and support.

How is the minimum order determined?

Flexible MOQ. Order quantities are assessed by style, fabric, colour and size distribution. Share your approximate quantity so we can review options that suit the materials and production plan.

How are branding and international delivery planned?

Brand and care labels, packaging, destination country and delivery requirements are defined for each order. Transport, delivery terms, costs and timing are confirmed in the written quotation.
