OEM / ODM
Bring a tech pack. Or just the brief.
OEM when you have the design. ODM when you need a partner to develop it (pattern, fabric, trims and construction) and then make it.

What we can show you
Don’t judge a factory by its machines. Ask to see the paperwork.
Anyone can photograph a sewing floor. Whether a factory can really develop a product shows in what it makes along the way, and in whether it keeps those things under control so the reorder matches the first order. These are what we make and keep for every development style. Ask for any of them on a video call.
01
Paper & CAD patterns
Base pattern with the shrinkage allowance written on it, one version per sample round.
ProvesFit is engineered, not copied.
02
Tech pack
Our working copy of your spec: measurements, construction, trims, decoration, packing.

03
Sample rounds & change log
Proto, fit, PP and TOP samples, each with what changed and who approved it.

04
Fit session record
Photos on a form or a model, fit comments and the pattern corrections that followed.
ProvesFit problems are fixed before bulk.
05
Graded size set
Grade rules plus measured samples in key sizes across the range.

- Sealed sample
- The approved sample is tagged, signed and kept as the bulk reference.
- Reorder-ready
- Colour standard, pattern and BOM stay on file, so a reorder starts from the same documents.
- Kept private
- Your patterns and tech pack are filed under your order and never shown to other customers.
OEM vs ODM
Two ways to work with us.
| Aspect | OEM | ODM |
|---|---|---|
| Who designs | You supply the tech pack or reference garment | We develop it with you from a brief |
| Pattern & grading | Made to your measurements | Drafted in CAD by our pattern room, graded across your range |
| Fabric & trims | Your specification | We recommend fabric, GSM, rib and trims for the use |
| Best for | Brands with an established product | New programs, uniforms, ranges that need development |
How development works
Six steps from brief to carton.
01
Brief
A tech pack, a reference garment, or just the use case: who wears it, how often, in what climate, and with what logo.
Build a tech pack →02
Specify
We propose fabric, GSM, rib, trims and decoration, drawing on our standard bills of materials for each category.
Choose trims point by point →03
Pattern
Base patterns are drafted in CAD with shrinkage allowance and stretch/recovery calculated, then graded across your sizes.
04
Sample
A physical sample with your fabric, print or embroidery and labels. You approve fit, colour and finish before bulk.
05
Produce
Bulk production through eight inspected stages, from fabric relaxation to 100% needle detection.
Production process →06
Ship
Packed by size ratio into export cartons, with your labels, hangtags and polybags.

Development strength
A compact factory with a seasoned design room.
We are not a large factory, and we do not need to be to develop well. Development is led by a garment designer with 30 years in the knitwear trade, working alongside our pattern room and only a few steps from the sewing line. Your style stays with the same people from first sketch to bulk, so design, fit and construction decisions are made quickly and by people who have solved the same problem many times before. Knit patterns allow for shrinkage after washing and stretch in both directions; we build both in before grading.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between OEM and ODM clothing manufacturing?
In OEM manufacturing the buyer provides the design and specification and the factory produces it. In ODM manufacturing the factory also develops the design (pattern, fabric, trims and construction) from the buyer’s brief. Jehotex does both.
Do I need a tech pack to start?
No. A reference garment or a clear brief is enough for ODM development. If you want to write a tech pack yourself, our free tech pack builder walks you through it.
How can I check a factory’s ODM capability?
Ask to see development outputs rather than machines: versioned patterns, sample-round change logs, fit records, graded size sets, measurement records, lab dips, strike-offs and consumption sheets. A factory that really develops products keeps these for every style.
Who owns the patterns developed for my order?
Discuss ownership at quotation; we record the agreed terms with your order.
