Why Bangladesh
Why Bangladesh for workwear?
Knit & baselayer depth
Established factory routes for polos, sweats, fleeces, softshells and moisture-wicking baselayers — MOQs assessed per product, typically from around 2,000 pieces per style and colourway.
Technical cargo capability
4-way stretch fabrics, multi-pocket construction and reinforced stress points for utility workwear trousers.
Outerwear production
Growing capacity for padded jackets, shell garments and taped-seam production when matched to the right factory.
Competitive alternative to China
Cost-competitive garment production at export scale — a practical route for brands diversifying away from China.
