How long does it take to receive samples of custom down jackets?
For custom down jackets, sample development usually takes 7–14 days. At Ginwen, this timeline applies to OEM and private label samples after design and material details are confirmed.
Standard Sample Lead Time
Sampling: 7–14 days
This includes pattern making, material preparation, cutting, sewing, filling, and initial quality checks.
This timeline is suitable for:
OEM custom designs
Private label branded samples
Fit samples, size samples, and pre-production (PP) samples
What Happens During the Sampling Stage?
Sample Development Steps
Design & tech pack review (or reference sample confirmation)
CAD pattern development & grading (in-house)
Material confirmation (shell, lining, insulation, trims)
Cutting, sewing & down filling
Quality inspection
Sample shipment
Because key processes are handled in-house, delays from outsourcing are minimized.
What Can Affect Sample Timing?
Sampling may move toward the upper end of the range (closer to 14 days) if:
The design is highly complex
New or special fabrics/trims need sourcing
Performance features are added (e.g., waterproof coatings, bonded seams)
Multiple revisions are requested
Tip: Clear specs and quick feedback help keep sampling closer to 7 days.
Revisions & Additional Samples
Minor revisions: typically 3–7 days
Second or PP samples: scheduled after feedback approval
Reorders of the same style are usually faster once patterns are locked
