How does the process work? 

1. Discussion & Ideation:We meet & discuss your vision, project needs, budget, designs, and specifications for your custom product. We look at any examples or visual references (photos, brands, etc.) you have for inspiration. 


2. Design & Mock-Up: Our designers incorporate that information into a digital mock-up of your custom product. This vector mockup includes your artwork decoration and outlines the unique features of your custom product.

3. Approval & Sampling:  Once you approve the digital mockup, we will order a sample of your custom product to quality check everything. Doing this allows us to assess the fabric quality, decorations and ensure that all of the custom specifications & features align with your vision.
 

4. Production & Delivery: Your custom items move into production and come to life! Then we package, ship and deliver your products directly to your doorstep!

Leggings are a popular fashion trend that continues to get more & more attention these days. So, our Threadbird team did a deep dive into the various styles, fabrics, and noteworthy characteristics we’ve seen with the different styles. We took notes on which fabrics and features we liked most and which ones we wanted to avoid.  


Our vision was to create three different silhouettes of leggings, each of which would have it's own distinct style features. We designed our custom leggings with Nylon fabric to give them maximum comfort & flexibility. Customers can choose a silhouette to build & personalize, or design a unique pair from the ground up.

Details Matter. 

The smallest of details can make the biggest impact. Products that have cool and noteworthy features make your products far more desirable and memorable compared to others.

Dare to be DIFFERENT
 

Your products, your rules—let's turn ordinary into extraordinary. Through Threadbird's cut & sew program, you can design branded apparel & merch that's both functional, stylish and comfortable all in one! Adding unique features like hidden pockets, versatile straps, or branded zipper pulls to your products are just a few ways that you can make your products distinct from others.
 

When designing your products, it's super important to consider the utility of the products. The more functional your products are, the more likely they will be useful & memorable to your customers.
 

For example, we added this hidden pocket pouch to our Diagonal Rain Jacket
that can store all of the everyday items like wallet, phone, keys so you can be handsfree. We added a microfiber cloth to the inside seam of
our Standard Button Up to clean your glasses on the go!
