View programmes →Why we created Source Workwear
Larger programmes don't need another factory contact — they need a managed partner who can design, develop and produce across categories. We assess each style by design intent, construction, fabric, compliance, price and volume before recommending a factory route. Multi-SKU hi-vis programmes get the same documentation discipline from development through bulk. That's the difference between an introduction and a production partnership.
Commercial
Minimum order quantities (MOQ)
MOQs depend on the product — category, construction, fabric and factory route all influence what is commercially viable.
Product-dependent — hi-vis, knits, woven bottoms and outerwear carry different factory thresholds
Typically from around 2,000 pieces per style and colourway for bulk production
Smaller runs possible within wider programmes when total volume supports the route
Quoted per style and per colour, not blended across unrelated styles
Every brief receives a product-specific view on MOQ, costing and factory fit — not a one-size-fits-all threshold.
Values
Our principles
Product first
Every recommendation starts with the product and its technical requirements — not a pre-selected factory.
Right factory for the right product
Category-led factory selection across hi-vis, knits, cargos and outerwear — not forcing styles into unsuitable routes.
Transparent supplier management
Clear communication and documentation throughout development and bulk production.
Commercial realism
Honest costing and MOQ guidance from the first brief — typically from around 2,000 pieces per style, with smaller runs possible within broader multi-style programmes where it makes commercial sense.
Sustainability with evidence
GRS-certified materials and transaction certificate control — not vague sustainability claims.
Long-term partnerships
Built for brands running repeatable programmes across multiple workwear categories.
