Cycling Apparel Manufacturer · Since 1998 · Sublimation Printing
Custom Cycling Apparel Manufacturer for Bike Brands
Cycling apparel requires performance fabrics that wick sweat, provide aerodynamics, and withstand long hours in the saddle. Sublimation printing enables custom team kits with vibrant all-over designs. SDF Clothing manufactures cycling apparel in Bangladesh with performance fabrics and sublimation printing. From 300 pieces per style.
Cycling Apparel Manufacturing Capabilities
Our cycling apparel manufacturing covers the full production cycle from fabric sourcing to finished garment. We source performance fabrics with moisture-wicking properties, cut, sew with specialized construction techniques, apply sublimation printing, and package for shipment.
Production capacity: 40,000-60,000 cycling apparel pieces per month across multiple production lines. We handle basic cycling jerseys for wholesale, premium team kits for cycling clubs, and custom sublimation designs for professional teams.
Performance Fabric Options
Moisture-Wicking Polyester-Spandex
Standard performance fabric for cycling jerseys. Lightweight polyester-spandex blend with excellent moisture-wicking properties. Pulls sweat away from skin for faster evaporation during intense rides.
Mesh Panels for Ventilation
Strategic mesh panels in high-heat areas (underarms, back panel) for improved airflow. Reduces overheating during long rides and hot weather cycling.
Thermal Fabrics for Cold Weather
Insulated thermal fabrics for winter cycling jackets and gilets. Brushed interior for warmth while maintaining moisture-wicking properties. Wind-resistant outer layer for protection.
Lycra and Elastane Blends
High-stretch fabrics for cycling shorts and bib shorts. 15-20% elastane for compression and muscle support. Excellent recovery maintains shape through repeated use.

Getting Started with SDF Clothing — What to Expect
Starting a new manufacturing relationship requires trust, clear communication, and a structured process. SDF Clothing has worked with hundreds of brands across the USA, UK, Australia, and Europe, and we've refined our onboarding process to make it as simple and transparent as possible for new clients.
The first step is always a design brief or tech pack submission. You don't need a finished tech pack to get started — even a rough sketch, a reference garment, or a detailed description is enough for us to provide a ballpark quote and confirm whether your project is a good fit for our factory. From there, we move to formal costing, which includes fabric sourcing, trim selection, and lead time confirmation.
Sampling is the most important phase of any manufacturing project. We produce a pre-production sample for your approval before any bulk fabric is cut. This sample lets you verify fit, construction, fabric quality, and color accuracy before committing to full production. Most clients approve samples within two rounds of revisions. We never proceed to bulk without your written approval.
Bulk production follows a structured quality control process. Our QC team conducts in-line checks during production and a final AQL inspection before packing. You receive a pre-shipment inspection report with photographs and measurements before we release your order for shipping. If anything falls outside the agreed specifications, we address it before the goods leave our factory.
Shipping from Bangladesh to the USA, UK, or Australia takes between 22 and 35 days by sea freight. We prepare all export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading. For EU shipments, we include the necessary documentation to support duty-free entry under the GSP scheme. Air freight is available for urgent orders and samples.
What Brands Say About Working with SDF Clothing
Our clients value three things above everything else: reliability, communication, and quality consistency. We respond to all enquiries within one business day. We provide weekly production updates during bulk manufacturing. And we back every shipment with our quality guarantee — if a garment doesn't meet the agreed specifications, we make it right.
Whether you're launching your first clothing brand with 300 pieces or scaling an established label with thousands of units per season, SDF Clothing provides the same level of attention and professionalism. Our minimum order quantity of 300 pieces reflects our commitment to supporting brands at every stage of growth, not just large buyers with the leverage to demand low prices.
Ready to start? Submit your design brief through our contact page or request a sample directly. We'll respond with a quote within 48 hours and guide you through every step of the manufacturing process from there.
Why Partner with SDF Clothing?
SDF Clothing is a direct-access garment factory in Bangladesh — not a trading company or buying house. When you work with us, you communicate directly with our production team, receive transparent pricing without agent markup, and maintain full control over your supply chain. Our factory holds GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, BSCI, WRAP, and ISO 9001 certifications.
Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter, shipping over $47 billion in apparel annually to USA, UK, EU and Australian markets. Our minimum order of 300 pieces reflects our commitment to supporting brands at every stage of growth — from first collections to established seasonal production runs. We offer full package production covering tech pack development, fabric sourcing, sampling, bulk manufacturing, quality inspection, and export documentation under one roof.
For US brands, sourcing from Bangladesh avoids the Section 301 tariffs that add 25% or more to Chinese imports. For EU brands, Bangladesh's GSP duty-free access delivers lower landed costs compared to most other sourcing destinations. These trade advantages combine with competitive FOB pricing to deliver strong margins for our clients.
