The cost of a custom ski jacket depends on design complexity, fabric, insulation, waterproof construction, trims, order quantity and testing requirements. A simple shell and a heavily insulated technical jacket should never be compared as the same product.
Main cost drivers
Fabric and membrane selection often represent a major part of the cost. Insulation weight, seam tape, waterproof zippers, molded trims, detachable hoods and multiple pockets also affect material and labor requirements.
Why quantity changes the quote
Pattern development, sampling and testing are spread across more units in a larger order. Custom colors and special trims may also require minimum purchase quantities from upstream suppliers.
How to receive a useful estimate
Provide the target quantity, size range, fabric preference, insulation, artwork, packaging, destination market and required delivery date. A tech pack or reference sample makes the estimate more accurate.
Avoid publishing a headline unit price without specifications. Send Honch Apparel your tech pack or reference jacket for a project-specific quotation.
