Custom Pajama Manufacturing

Custom Jalabiya & Kaftan Manufacturer

Jalabiya and kaftans are worn at home, for hosting and through Ramadan, so fabric and drape matter as much as the cut. We develop them from your reference garment or sketch, in the fabric you choose, with your labels and trims.

PajamaWorks makes custom jalabiya & kaftans with an MOQ of 100 pcs per style, per colour, samples in 7–10 days and bulk production 25–30 days after sample approval, in viscose, satin, cotton, modal or custom fabric, at its own factory in Humen, Dongguan, established 2006. Pricing is quoted per project.

MOQ applies per style and per colour, so one style in three colours is 300 pcs. Custom-dyed, printed or woven fabrics are confirmed per quotation. Planning a smaller first run? Tell us your quantity and we'll confirm what's possible.

Developed from your reference, not from our catalogue

Jalabiya and kaftan buyers usually already know the garment they want: a particular neckline, a sleeve shape, an embroidery layout that has sold before. We start from that. Send a reference garment, photos, a sketch or a tech pack and we measure it, build the pattern and return a sample to compare against it.

We do not hold a ready-made jalabiya range to sell you. The garment is made to your specification in your fabric, labelled with your brand.

Fabric: yours first, ours when you need a suggestion

If your design is built around a specific fabric — a printed woven, a crepe, a heavy satin, a particular knit — tell us and we develop the garment in that fabric. Where the fabric is not in our stock range we source it for you, and the minimum for custom-dyed, printed or woven fabric is confirmed per quotation because the mill minimum applies.

If you have not chosen a fabric yet, these are the usual starting points:

Use	Fabrics to look at	What to watch
Light home dress	Viscose, cotton	Drape is good; check shrinkage after wash
Dressier house kaftan	Satin	Shows seam pucker on long straight edges
Soft, warm everyday	Modal	Hem needs weight to hang evenly

What decides whether a long dress sells

Drape and hem. A full-length garment is judged on how it hangs. We sample at full length and check it again after washing.
Neck and yoke. This is where embroidery sits and where most faults show. Facing and stabiliser choice are settled on the first sample.
Sizing. Loose styles still need a size chart. Tell us whether you want a graded range or one or two free sizes.
Labelling for your market. Tell us what your importer needs on the label, including language, and we place labels to your specification.

Minimums

MOQ is 100 pcs per style, per colour in stock fabrics, so one style in three colours is 300 pcs. Custom-dyed, printed, woven or embroidery-heavy styles are confirmed in the quotation. Planning a smaller first run? Tell us your quantity.

FAQ

Jalabiya & Kaftans — common questions

What is your pajama MOQ?

MOQ starts from 100 pcs per style, per colour in stock fabrics (cotton, modal, satin, jersey, flannel, viscose), so one style in three colours is 300 pcs. Custom-dyed, custom-printed or custom-woven fabrics raise the minimum because the mill minimum applies; we confirm the exact figure for your style in the quotation.

How much does a pajama sample cost?

Sample cost depends on the style, fabric and customization (printing, embroidery, special trims). We confirm the exact sample fee per project before sampling starts — share your design through the quote form for a precise figure.

Is the sample fee refundable?

Yes, when your bulk order reaches 200 pcs per style, per colour. We confirm the sample fee for your style before sampling starts.

How long does sampling take?

A first sample usually takes about 7–10 days once the design is confirmed. Complex styles, sourced fabrics and extra revision rounds add time; we confirm the sampling timeline with each sample order and keep you updated through development.

Can I use my own pajama design?

Yes. Send a tech pack, reference sample or reference photos and we handle pattern development, grading and sampling to your design. Your designs stay confidential to your project.

Will my fit sample be washed before I approve it?

Yes — we launder fit samples before sending them. Cotton shrinks, knits relax and viscose can distort, so a sample approved unwashed is not the garment your customer receives. Approving fit on a washed sample removes the most common cause of bulk fit complaints.

Can you source custom fabrics?

Yes. Beyond stock cotton, modal, satin, jersey, flannel and viscose options, we source custom blends, custom-dyed colors and custom prints. Custom-developed fabrics carry higher minimums, which we confirm during quoting.

Can you match Pantone colors?

Yes. For custom-dyed fabrics we produce lab dips against your Pantone reference for approval before bulk dyeing, so the production color matches the approved standard.

What is the minimum for custom labels, hang tags and packaging?

Custom main labels and hang tags start from 500 pcs, and custom packaging such as printed polybags and boxes from 1,000 pcs. Garments still start from 100 pcs per style, per colour — if your order is smaller than the label minimum, the labels are made at 500 and we keep the surplus for your repeat order.

Who owns the pattern developed for my product?

Ask us and we will put it in writing before development starts. Pattern ownership is a commercial term rather than a fixed rule, and it is better agreed at the outset than assumed. Your designs, tech packs and reference materials stay confidential to your project either way.
