In the fashion world, jackets are not only warm gear, but also the assumption of the whole style or look. With the increasing demand for personalization, more and more people choose to customize jackets that suit their needs. We, Aung Crown, a well-known Chinese custom manufacturer of hats and clothing, will combine features of custom suppliers to introduce types of jackets and their key custom points.

1. Common Types of Jackets

There are many ways to assort types of jackets. The common ways are sorted jackets by fabrics, function, seasons, and contours to cater to different scenes and custom demands.

Sorted by Fabric from Essential to High-End

• Wool/Cashmere Jackets – Great at keeping warmth, which is suitable for autumn and winter formal occasions, such as tweed coats. When customizing, please note the weight of wool and cashmere. In general, 260g to 280g is suitable for all seasons. The weight is over 290g, which belongs to the thick style that is suitable for fall and winter. For the yarn count(commonly called spun in English), 100S to 130S can take comfort and durability into account because if the spun is too high, high yarn-count jackets are very prone to wear and tear.
• Cotton/Denim Jackets – Lightweight and breathable, which makes these jackets a great choice for spring/fall daily wear. Therefore, while customizing, it’s a great idea to choose washed treatments to boost the softness or add embroidery crafts to enhance personality.
• Nylon/Polyester Jackets – Water-repellent and wind-resistant, jackets made from nylon and polyester are great for rainy days or outdoor activities like windbreakers. For customization, it’s great to strengthen the waterproof coating or adjust the pocket placement for the flexible demand of on-the-go items.
• Fur/Faux Fur Jackets – Luxurious and warm, fur/faux fur jackets are suitable for ceremonious winter occasions. When choosing fur or faux fur for customization, please pay attention to the patchwork/sewing craft to avoid splitting at the seam, and the breathability of the inner lining.

Sorted by Function from Business to Outdoors

• Business Jackets – Most business jackets are suits that attach importance to stiff contours like single-breasted buttons or double-breasted buttons. For customization, it needs to strengthen shoulder three-dimensional tailoring and open surgeon’s cuffs to elevate the fancy level.
• Casual Jackets – Usually, casual jackets/coats include denim jackets, hooded bomber jackets, etc. Most are free in style. Customizing jackets can design the contour and fit, and can also add personalized designs like patchwork, embroidered labels, or other young elements.
• Sports Jackets – Sporty jackets like baseball jackets and rush jackets mainly focus on functions, such as ventilation and wear resistance. Compared to sports jackets on the market, customizing sports jackets is more humanized, which can add reflective stripes for night safety, and multiple pockets for storing demands.
• Anorak Jackets – The core of anorak jackets is to keep warm, like puffer jackets and warm cotton jackets. When customization, the down fill rate of the plumage of white ducks is best to be 90%, and the windproof details can be added, such as Velcro cuffs and high-neck collars.

Sorted by Seasons – Balance between Thickness and Scenes

• Spring/Summer Jackets: In general, spring and summer jackets are thin, short, convenient, breathable, with sun protection in summer. Customization of spring/summer jackets can visibly lower the temperature, or hollow designs can enhance ventilation.
• Autumn/Winter Jackets: Commonly, fall and winter jackets, like weed coats, puffer jackets, and bomber jackets, emphasize warmth and layering. Customization can add detachable inner layers for temperature difference or fur collars and decorations to elevate the texture.

2. Power of Custom Makers – Full Customization from Measuring to Details

Choosing a professional custom maker is the key to making sure that custom jackets are fitted and quality. Take some leading custom makers in China as examples, like Yipin Workshop, Shanpeng Clothing, and Aung Crown. Their custom services include the core steps below.

1. Accurate Body Measure: 23 Parts Data and Dynamic Observation

For personal customization, the core is one stereotype for one person. Designers will measure 23 parts of the person, like shoulder width, arm length, waist circumference, hip circumference, etc. Observing clients’ behaviors and walking habits to adjust the waistline or shoulder design in personal stereotyping. For sale customization, this is much easier than personal customization. In general, you just need to provide the accurate size charts for custom makers.

2. Fabrics & Styles of Custom Jackets

• Fabric Warehouse: Cooperating with international brands, like Italian Cerruti 1881 and British Scabal, or domestic excellent suppliers in China, to provide over 400 choices to choose from, such as wool, blended fabrics, technical fabrics, etc.
• Styles & Designs: From collar types (peak/notch lapel), pockets (slanted/patch pocket) to details (cuffs or embroidery), all these can be adjusted and personalized. For example, business suits can add inner pockets for file storage, and casual jackets can be customized with embroidered brand logos.

3. Crafts & Turnaround Time

High-end custom needs 300+ processes( handmade sewing lining, multiple ironing and shaping), and the turnaround time is generally about 15 to 20 days(rush order shortened with scarifying partial details). Some custom manufacturers offer 3 times trying services (first stereotyping – modifying – final sample), and please note that this varies from different custom manufacturers.

3. 5 Points to Avoid When Customizing Jackets

Customizing jackets seems possible, but there are 5 points to avoid, which can help gain a cozy and high-level dressing experience.

1. Fabric: Refusing to See Parameters

• Weight & Seasons – Wool over 290g is suitable for autumn and winter jackets; wool from 200 to 260g is great for summer seasons, which can avoid being not warm enough for summer and too heavy in summer.
• Ideal Yarn Count – Yarn count from 100S to 130S is fine and cozy to wear, which is suitable for daily wear. Yarn count over 150S needs sophisticated care and maintenance, which is suitable for special occasions.

2. Supplier: Qualification is Important than Price

• Check Qualification: Please choose suppliers that are qualified with ISO9001 and have 10 years of custom experience, like Aung Crown, Aobaishi, and Cynosure, to avoid “code/tag modification” pretending to be customization.
• Custom Cases: Checking custom cases for customers in the same industry or size to check the level of craftsmanship, such as business suits for financial practitioners and windproof jackets for outdoor lovers.

3. Detail – Key for High-Fashion Flair

• Cuff Holes: Functional cuff holes are fancier, which is suitable for formal occasions. Decorative cuff holes are great for casual jackets.
• Lining: Adding underarm lining for sweat resistance and stains. Mesh cloth lining can boost comfort for sports jackets.
• Accessories: Customizing exclusive cuff buttons, inner embroidered tags, such as names, can enhance the uniqueness.  

4. Budget – Clarify Core Demands

• Basic Customization (domestic fabrics + basic crafts) – Affordable prices and suitable for daily commutes.
• High-end Customization (imported fabrics + wool lining craft) – High or expensive prices and suitable for weddings, important business occasions.

5. After-Sale Сервис

Please pay attention to the after-sales service, custom suppliers who offer 3 3-year warranty for free maintenance and small quantity replenishment same price as Shanpeng Garments( Shanpeng Clothing Co., Ltd.), which can avoid setting out after wearing for a long time.
