What is your minimum order per colour?

It depends on the base fabric and whether the shade is from our stock range or a custom lab dip. Stock shades start considerably lower than custom ones. Send the fabric and shade you have in mind and we will quote the exact minimum rather than a marketing number.

Can you match a colour I already sell?

Yes. Send a physical swatch, a hex value, or a colour reference from your existing supplier. We produce three lab dips against it and you approve the closest one on real fabric before bulk dyeing starts.

What does GSM actually change?

GSM is grams per square metre — the fabric's weight. Lower weights are lighter and more sheer with a fluid fall; higher weights are more opaque, warmer and hold their shape. Every base fabric in our range runs across a band rather than a single fixed weight, so you choose where in that band your product sits.

How long does production take?

Around 15 days from approved sample to finished goods for a standard order. Full sampling takes around 10 days and lab dips happen before that clock starts. If your deadline is tighter, tell us the date up front — we would rather say no than miss it.

What volume can you handle?

Our capacity is about 500,000 pieces per month, so repeat programmes and seasonal peaks do not push your next order down the queue. Small first orders are welcome too — capacity is there for when you scale.

Which countries do you ship to?

We currently export to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. If your market is not on that list, ask — it usually just means we have not shipped there yet, not that we cannot.

Do you supply roll goods or finished hijabs?

Both. We can ship fabric by the roll for your own cutting and sewing, or deliver finished pieces cut, hemmed, labelled and retail-packed under your brand.

Can you produce our labels and packaging?

Yes — woven labels, care labels, hang tags, thank-you cards, retail sleeves and rigid gift boxes are all finished in-house. Upload your logo in the customization studio to see it placed on each one.

Which certifications can you provide?

The mill holds OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and BSCI. Certification availability for a specific order still depends on the fabric and dye route, so tell us which standard your market requires and we will confirm in writing what we can supply for that order.

Sports Hijab Size Grading: Keep Coverage Consistent

A sports hijab size range should be graded from a coverage and movement brief, not by enlarging every measurement by the same percentage. The face opening, chin comfort, ear and nape coverage, rear panel length and front drape each affect fit differently. Start with one approved base size, define the coverage zones and movement checks, then grade only the measurements that need to change. Every size should be sampled as a finished product because stretch, seams, binding and recovery can change the result.

Why Sports Hijab Grading Is Different

A rectangular scarf can be sold by finished length and width. A sports hijab combines a head opening, shaped panels, seams and sometimes elastic, binding or a second layer. The wearer notices whether the opening sits comfortably, whether the chin stays covered, whether the nape remains covered when the head turns and whether the rear panel rides up during activity.

Recent wholesale sources describe pull-on sports hijabs, matching teamwear, breathable knits, stretch recovery and size flexibility as part of the modest-activewear brief. These features indicate a direction, not universal acceptance criteria. The brand still needs to define the activity, wearer range and coverage standard.

The first mistake is to treat a larger size as a proportionally larger small size. Head opening comfort may require a measured change in circumference, while the face opening height may need a smaller change to protect the intended facial frame. The second mistake is to increase panel length without checking bulk, heat and snag risk. Grading is a set of decisions, not a single multiplier.

Define the Coverage Map Before the Size Chart

Write down what must remain covered and during which actions. “Full coverage” can mean different things to different brands and customers. A school team may prioritise secure hairline and nape coverage during running. A modest activewear brand may also require a defined side-neck and upper-chest drape. The factory should not guess those requirements from the product name.

Use a coverage map with a front, side and rear view. Mark the following zones:

hairline and forehead edge;
ears and side face frame;
chin and jawline;
nape and rear neck;
side neck and shoulder line;
front panel or chest extension, if included;
rear panel length and its safe position during movement.

Then record the actions that must be passed: looking down, turning left and right, raising both arms, bending forward, walking or jogging, and the sport-specific movement that creates the highest shift risk. The exact movement protocol belongs in the tech pack and sample comments.

The Measurements That Need Individual Grading

A useful sports hijab chart separates body references from finished-product measurements. Nike’s published Pro Hijab chart presents face-opening height as a body measurement and explains how to measure from below the hairline to the bottom of the jaw. A private-label brief should also document the finished opening, pattern dimensions and measurement state.

Specification area	What to record	Why it should not be blindly scaled
Face opening	Finished height, width or circumference, edge finish and measurement state	A larger opening can expose hair or reduce stability if the face frame is not reviewed
Chin and jaw	Coverage line, curve shape and comfort at the jaw	A deeper curve may improve coverage but create pressure or bulk
Crown to nape	Finished length and centre-back seam or panel reference	Head length and fabric recovery do not increase in the same ratio as opening size
Ear and side neck	Side-panel depth and position relative to the ear	Small changes can leave a gap when the head turns
Front or chest panel	Length, width, attachment and drape target	Extra length can shift, catch or overheat rather than improve practical coverage
Rear panel	Width, length and movement limit	A wide panel may ride up when the wearer raises both arms
Binding or elastic	Finished width, extension and recovery behaviour	Comfort depends on pressure and construction, not circumference alone

Keep the measurement convention beside every value: flat relaxed, flat stretched, worn on a fitting form or measured after laundering. A number without a state is not a reproducible specification.

How to Build a Practical Grading Rule

Start with the base size that represents the main first sample population or the brand’s priority sell-through size. Approve its coverage map, opening comfort and movement behaviour before creating the full range. Then divide the pattern into functional zones rather than grading every line equally.

Grade the opening for fit, not appearance. Use head and face reference measurements supplied by the brand or collected through an agreed fitting process. Decide whether the opening is intended to sit close, allow an undercap, or accommodate a specific layer. Record the target comfort and the maximum acceptable pressure. Do not use a generic head-size assumption when the buyer serves a defined school, team or market.

Grade coverage panels for position. The crown-to-nape and side-neck measurements should keep the same coverage relationship to the wearer, but the increments may differ from the opening increments. Check the ear, nape and chin on every size. A panel that is technically longer can still uncover the nape if it shifts under tension.

Control the fabric response. A size range made from a high-stretch jersey may need a different opening rule from a denser interlock or a lower-stretch knit. The same pattern grade cannot be assumed to behave identically after a fabric substitution. Approve the fabric construction, GSM, stretch direction and recovery target before final grading.

Grade the finish with the pattern. Binding width, elastic insertion, seam allowance and thread tension affect the opening and comfort. If the binding is widened on one size but the pattern edge is not adjusted, the finished opening may move away from the approved target. Treat finishing as part of the size specification, not as a late sewing detail.

Size-by-Size Movement Validation

A sample review should include every proposed size, not only the base and largest size. A practical first set can use one smaller and one larger size; add intermediate sizes after the end sizes prove the grading direction. The buyer and factory should agree whether the review uses a fitting form, volunteer wear trial, or another controlled method.

Use the same observation sheet for each sample:

1. Measure the finished opening, crown-to-nape, side coverage and rear panel in the defined state. 2. Check the sample at rest for forehead, ear, chin and nape coverage. 3. Repeat the movement sequence: look down, rotate, raise arms, bend and perform the target activity. 4. Note any ride-up, exposed hair, loose fabric, pressure point, seam rubbing or obstructed vision. 5. Launder according to the planned care route, then repeat the opening and movement checks. 6. Record the sample size, fabric lot, shade, pattern revision, finish details and decision.

A fit comment such as “too loose” is not enough for production. State where it is loose, in which movement, after which care condition and whether the correction belongs to the opening, panel, elastic, binding or fabric recovery.

Factory Perspective: Where Size Ranges Go Wrong

On the factory side, grading problems usually begin with an incomplete base brief. A buyer sends a reference sports hijab and asks for three sizes, but does not identify whether it is measured relaxed, stretched or worn. The team can copy the shape, yet cannot tell which parts should change for a smaller or larger wearer.

Another failure appears when the range is approved on a dry sample only. A knit opening can relax, shrink or change recovery after washing. If only the base size is checked after laundering, another size may become too tight or too loose. The care route and post-wash measurement state belong in the approval plan.

We also separate coverage failure from comfort failure. Pulling a front panel lower may solve a coverage gap but create heat or interfere with movement. Tightening an elastic may reduce slip but create pressure at the forehead. The correct revision is usually a balanced change to pattern, edge finish and fabric behaviour, not one aggressive adjustment.

For repeat programmes, preserve the approved size chart with the pattern version, fabric specification, shade standard, trim details and sample images. If composition, GSM, knit structure or finishing changes, reopen grading review instead of assuming the old measurements will perform the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should every sports hijab size use the same fabric GSM? Not automatically. A single fabric specification can simplify production, but the fabric must still provide acceptable coverage, stretch, recovery and comfort across the range. If the size range uses different constructions or weights, validate each one as its own product condition.

How many sports hijab sizes should a new brand launch? Start with the range the brand can explain and validate properly. A smaller, clearly defined range with a reliable coverage map is safer than several nominal sizes that have not been movement-tested. The final choice depends on the target wearer data and channel.

Can a factory grade from a supplier’s size chart? A supplier chart can be a reference, not a substitute for the brand’s approved fit brief. Confirm measurement state, intended layer, coverage expectations and finished sample behaviour before adopting any existing chart.

Why can the larger size feel less secure? The larger opening or added panel length may reduce contact pressure, change the balance of the pattern or create more movement. Check the opening recovery, edge finish, side coverage and rear-panel position rather than tightening the entire product.

Do I need to test every size after washing? If the product is sold with a care route, every size should have a defined dimensional and fit check after the planned laundering condition. At minimum, the approval plan should make clear which sizes are tested, why, and how any size-specific risk is controlled.
