Acid Wash Zip-Up Hoodie Collection for a US Streetwear Brand
A Growing US Brand Seeking a Distinct Acid Wash Identity
The client, an independent streetwear label based in California, had an existing wholesale supplier but was unable to achieve consistent acid wash results across seasonal reorders. They came to us with a reference garment, mood board, and target wholesale price -- but without a Tech Pack.
Their primary requirement was a washed zip-up hoodie with a graphic patch embroidery on the chest, oversized silhouette, and a fleece-back construction that could stand up to their target GSM and hand-feel standards.
How We Approached Fabric, Construction and Decoration
Outcome Summary
The acid wash consistency was the main thing we'd struggled with before. YECHENG ran the wash tests upfront and showed us the results at each stage -- that kind of transparency made it easy to approve the direction. The embroidery patch came out clean, the measurements were tight across the run, and the pieces shipped on time. We're already planning the next seasonal drop with them.
Oversized Raw Edge Acid Wash T-Shirt for a European Private Label Client
A European Private Label Buyer with a Complete Tech Pack and Tight Deadline
A German private label client building a streetwear-adjacent basics range approached us with a full Tech Pack, size grading table, and artwork files. They needed a heavy-weight oversized tee with a visible raw hem edge, enzyme wash finish, and screen-printed front graphic -- all delivered to a warehouse in the Netherlands within a fixed window before a seasonal launch.
The challenge was not the design complexity but the wash and raw-edge interaction: untreated edges needed to be pre-assessed for fray behaviour post-wash. We managed this through a dedicated wash trial on cut panels before sewing.
Technical Decisions That Drove the Outcome
Outcome Summary
We had worked with other Chinese manufacturers before but always had issues with wash consistency between colorways. YECHENG actually ran the panel tests and sent us photos at each stage -- that gave us confidence before we committed to bulk. The final product matched the approved sample. Labels were correct. Delivery landed exactly when they said it would. We'll be back next season with a tracksuit brief.
Embroidered Acid Wash Hoodie Tracksuit for a UK Streetwear Brand
A UK Streetwear Brand Building a Matched Set with Distinctive Wash and Embroidery
A UK-based streetwear brand launching their second collection came to us with two separate reference garments -- a hoodie from one brand and a jogger from another -- and asked us to develop a coordinated two-piece tracksuit set with a unified acid wash effect and embroidered branding across both pieces.
Their concern was colour matching the wash effect between the top and bottom, which use different fabric constructions. We addressed this by developing a custom wash recipe that was applied to both garments simultaneously in the same wash batch.
Matching Wash and Embroidery Across a Two-Piece Set
Outcome Summary
The hardest part of a two-piece set is getting the wash to look like they belong together. We'd seen other suppliers fail at this by treating the pieces separately. YECHENG was upfront about needing to wash both pieces in the same batch -- that attention to detail is what made the difference. The embroidery was clean, the sets were packed correctly, and the whole project came in without surprises. Already in discussion for our AW drop.
