Men’s activewear manufacturer with a Los Angeles office
Developed in Los Angeles. Made in Medellín. Private by design.
Men’s activewear, the way a Los Angeles brand needs it.
Men’s performance wear is a category where fit and fabric are visible in the first thirty seconds a buyer holds the garment. We develop it with you in Los Angeles and make it in Medellín.
Training shorts, joggers, half-zip pullovers, compression tights, technical tees and full kits, produced full package from 150 units per style.
Up to 3 colors inside that minimum, sizes mixed. From 100 to 149 units we run a small batch at +35%; below 100 we develop and sample.
Medellín to Los Angeles door to door, in days rather than the weeks of sea freight from Asia.
With a valid certificate of origin. Colombian apparel is not duty free. Chinese apparel runs 36 to 52%.
Men’s performance, without the Asian minimums
Most activewear factories in Asia start at 500 or 1,000 units per style. Ours starts where a growing label can commit.
Los Angeles-led pattern and fit work is quoted per project at US rates. Medellín-led development is the published price above.
Men’s grading is where an activewear line loses returns. Fit rounds are included, and the pattern work that needs a person in the room happens in Los Angeles.
Technical knits from Colombian mills: four-way stretch, compression knits and performance jerseys, matched to your reference by construction, weight and fiber content.
6 to 8 weeks from approved sample and deposit. Air freight adds 3 to 5 days to the United States.
100 to 149 units is a small batch at +35% on list price, up to 2 colors. Below 100 there is no production run; we do the development and the sample.
Not a Los Angeles factory. That is the point.
If you want men's activewear sewn a mile from your office, a Los Angeles cut-and-sew shop is the right call and we will tell you so. We are built for the brand that wants to develop in Los Angeles and produce at scale in Medellín: 12.5% duty with a certificate of origin, air freight door to door in 3–5 days, and a production minimum you can actually reorder.
The private appointment at our showroom, pattern and fit sessions with an expert patternmaker, and every decision that needs a person in the room.
The sample room, the fabrics, the sewing and the packing: full package under one roof-of-responsibility, with a team that speaks your language on video.
The showroom is by appointment only. We sign an NDA before your first sketch and we never publish our clients. Your line never becomes our marketing.
You pay Los Angeles rates only for the work that happens in Los Angeles. Production is priced from Medellín, and the price list is published.

Questions buyers ask first
What is the minimum order for men's activewear?
150 units per style, split across up to 3 colors, sizes mixed freely. From 100 to 149 units we run a small batch (up to 2 colors, at a +35% short-run surcharge on list price). Below 100 units there is no production run, but we can do the development and the physical sample, which are yours to keep.
Is the Los Angeles showroom open to walk-ins?
No. The showroom at the California Market Center, suite C600, is by appointment only, so that your samples, sketches and name stay private. Request an appointment through the form and we will confirm a time.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, before your first sketch. We also never publish our clients, so you will not find your brand on our website or social accounts unless you ask us to.
How long does it take?
Development and the physical sample take about 4 weeks, with three fit rounds included in the sample fee. Production takes 6 to 8 weeks from an approved sample and a received deposit. Air freight adds 3 to 5 days to Los Angeles.
Is Colombian apparel duty free into the United States?
No. As of August 2026 Colombian apparel enters the United States at 12.5% with a valid certificate of origin, subject to change. Apparel from China runs about 36 to 52%. The certificate is the difference, so we handle it with your order.
Are you a factory in Los Angeles?
No. We develop with you in Los Angeles and produce in Medellín, Colombia, full package. That is why the price makes sense at 150 units: you pay Los Angeles rates only for the work done in Los Angeles.
What men's activewear do you produce?
Training shorts, joggers, half-zip pullovers, compression tights, technical tees and full training kits.
Is there a page for men's activewear in Colombia?
Yes. See our men's activewear manufacturing page for the full range, fabrics and price list.
