As an OEM equestrian clothing manufacturer - pattern making

Step 1 —
Style Briefing & Initial Consultation

  • Your direction, goals and target riders
  • Review sketches, inspiration or samples
  • Clarify functional priorities (fit, grip etc.)

We begin by discussing your ideas, brand positioning and technical goals. Whether you provide a tech pack or just a reference piece, we help identify key functional elements such as fabric needs, grip expectations and riding comfort requirements. This ensures the development starts with clarity and purpose.

Step 2 —
Fabric & Trim Selection (Equestrian)

  • Suggest suitable fabrics for riding conditions

  • Evaluate stretch, durability, breathability

  • Select trims compatible with equestrian use

Equestrian apparel requires fabrics that behave well under movement and saddle friction. We guide you through material options and help recommend the best choices for durability, comfort and performance. Trims and accessories are also reviewed to ensure they function properly in riding scenarios.

Step 3 —
Pattern Development & First Sample

  • Adjust pattern based on riding posture

  • Place seams strategically to reduce pressure

  • Create first physical sample for fit evaluation

Our pattern development incorporates hips, knees and posture movement unique to riding. Seams and shaping are refined to ensure comfort and mobility. The first sample is produced to evaluate silhouette, fit stability and functional placement such as grip or waistband height.

Step 4 —
Rider Testing & Feedback

  • Real-use testing under riding conditions
  • Evaluate stability, comfort, movement
  • Identify adjustments before finalizing fit

We encourage brands to test the sample with actual riders to understand mobility, grip behavior and long-wear comfort. Feedback from riding scenarios helps refine fit and ensure the garment performs well during trot, canter, transitions and training sessions.

Step 5 —
Sample Revision & Approval

  • Update pattern & construction
  • Finalize grip, details, stitching
  • Confirm pre-production sample (PPS)

Based on testing feedback, we revise patterns and adjust functional elements to achieve the ideal fit and performance. A final pre-production sample is prepared for your approval before bulk production begins.

Step 6 —
Bulk Production & Quality Checks

  • Stable production schedule
  • Consistent sizing & fit
  • Performance-focused inspections

Once the pre-production sample is approved, we begin bulk manufacturing following the confirmed specifications. Quality checks focus on grip durability, stitching consistency and fabric behavior to ensure each garment performs reliably in riding conditions.

What You Can Customize

Every equestrian brand has different styling goals, performance needs and rider preferences.
