Erten production approach

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

Style and colour options

Choose your collection direction.

Fibre content is only the starting point for a cotton-shirt collection. Weave, yarn, weight and finish together determine the feel. The same cotton content can produce a smooth business shirt, textured casual style or oversized garment. Match fabric selection to use and care expectations.
Cotton Shirts — Smooth business style

Smooth business style

A simple fabric and balanced fit can suit everyday business wear. Choose collar and cuff support for the intended shape.

Cotton Shirts — Textured Oxford style

Textured Oxford style

A more visible weave can suit relaxed office and casual collections. Compare weight and softness on physical samples.

Cotton Shirts — Relaxed white style

Relaxed white style

Cotton takes on a different silhouette with a wider body and dropped shoulders. Assess drape and structure alongside fit volume.

Fabric and color samples from the Erten shirt collection

Fabric and collection direction

Cotton percentage, yarn structure, weight and finishes are assessed together. For organic or certified-material requests, the scope and available records are reviewed at quotation stage.

Style-specific manufacturing details

Fit, collar and cuff choices are matched to the fabric's handle. Dimensional changes and appearance after washing are assessed alongside care instructions and sample approval.

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

Comfort depends on more than garment measurements: the same pattern can sit differently in different cotton fabrics. Assess movement allowance, stretch and dimensions after care together. Specify the measurement method in the approval chart.

What to check on the sample

Include fabric handle, seam puckering and dimensional change after care in the sample review. Match fibre claims and marketing wording to supplier information. Specify the scope of any requested certification at the start of the project.

Care, finishing and packing

Consider care and ironing expectations alongside weave, colour and finish. Do not assume that all fabrics with the same cotton percentage will shrink or crease in the same way. Assess the sample using the intended care method.

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.
  • Required fibre content and a texture sample
  • Softness, structure and opacity targets
  • Care expectations and any documentation requirements

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.

frequently asked
questions.

What information helps when choosing a cotton fabric?

Share the intended use, handle, season, approximate price level and required fibre percentage. An existing fabric or shirt sample helps clarify the material direction.

Does choosing 100% cotton guarantee the same quality?

Fibre percentage alone does not define quality. Yarn, weave, finish, fit and workmanship all contribute. Compare fabric samples and garments developed for the same use to make a meaningful choice.

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.
