Manufacturing for Brands is at the core of what we do at Brick & Grit. We are a UK fightwear manufacturer producing premium combat sports apparel for growing and established brands. From first samples to full production runs, every garment is printed, cut and sewn in our UK workshop — under one roof, start to finish.

Built for Fightwear & Apparel Brands

We work with:

  • Start-up fightwear brands launching their first collection
  • Established combat sports labels
  • Gym and academy apparel brands
  • Influencer-led performance brands
  • Event promotions and competition organisers
  • Private label apparel collections

If you’re building a brand and need UK manufacturing that doesn’t tie you to container loads, we provide structured production built around your scale.

What We Manufacture

We produce full performance ranges across combat sports and training apparel:

All garments are fully sublimated — colour is locked into the fabric, not printed on top. It lasts as long as the garment does.

In-House Production. No Part Leaves Our Control.

Every stage of production is handled inside our UK workshop:

  • Industrial sublimation printing on Epson production equipment
  • Commercial cutting tables with in-house pattern control
  • Professional sewing machines – Juki & Siruba systems
  • Reinforced stress-point stitching and bonded thread construction
  • Consistent batch quality across repeat production runs
  • Sizing, cut and construction remain consistent across every reorder
  • Quality checks at every stage
  • Our setup allows controlled scaling from small development runs to larger batch production without compromising consistency, fit or construction standards.

Because we control printing, cutting and sewing internally, you get tighter quality control and faster restocks. No waiting on suppliers. No uncertainty.

Sampling & Product Development

We support product development from concept to production — all under one roof.

  1. Concept Submission Share your designs, tech packs or creative direction. We’ll review and advise.
  2. Sampling We produce development samples for fit, feel and performance testing.
  3. Refinement Fit, panel alignment and performance feedback are adjusted before scaling into production.
  4. Production Approved designs move into batch manufacturing. Specifications are stored for consistent repeat orders.

You deal directly with the team that prints, cuts and sews your product — not account managers translating specs to a factory floor.

Flexible Production & Fulfilment

We offer manufacturing models that scale with your brand:

  • Structured batch production runs
  • Low minimum production for developing brands
  • On-demand production for selected brand partners
  • Direct-to-customer fulfilment available

Our aim is straightforward: give brands UK production without long lead times, container commitments, or cash tied up in inventory you don’t need yet.

Faster Speed to Market

Because production happens in the UK, brands can test, launch and restock quickly — without committing to overseas bulk quantities.

Shorter lead times allow tighter product drops, seasonal collections and limited releases without overproduction.

This gives brands the ability to test new designs without committing to large overseas minimums.

White Label & Private Label Options

All production can be fully white-labelled — see our white label fightwear service for the full breakdown.

  • Your brand labels and neck tags
  • Custom internal branding
  • Private label packaging options
  • No Brick & Grit branding on finished garments

Your product. Your brand. Manufactured under our roof. We operate as a true manufacturing partner — not a print shop.

Why Manufacture in the UK?

UK production gives brands control:

  • Faster restocks — days, not months
  • No import delays or freight uncertainty
  • Lower upfront stock commitments
  • Better cash flow management
  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Direct communication with the people making your kit

We manufacture locally so you can respond to real demand — not gamble on overseas forecasts.

Production Timelines

Timelines depend on garment type and quantity.

  • Sampling: typically completed within days
  • Small batch runs: short UK lead times
  • Repeat production: accelerated through stored specifications

No blanket promises. We confirm timelines before production begins — and we stick to them.

Manufacturing FAQs

Do you have minimum order quantities?
Minimums vary depending on garment type, construction complexity and production model. We offer flexible options for both developing labels and established brands. Contact us with your specification and we will outline the most suitable structure.

Can you handle larger production runs?
Yes. Our in-house printing, cutting and sewing setup allows us to scale production while maintaining strict quality control, sizing accuracy and construction consistency.

Do you offer full white-label manufacturing?
Yes. Custom woven labels, neck labels, swing tags and packaging can be applied. Finished garments carry your branding only — no Brick & Grit identification.

Can you store our specifications for repeat orders?
Yes. All patterns, digital assets and production specifications are retained to ensure accurate repeat builds without drift in sizing or construction.

Do you offer sampling before full production?
Yes. Sampling is recommended for new collections or revised fits before moving into structured batch production.

Do you offer direct-to-customer fulfilment?
Selected brand partners can access direct fulfilment options. Speak with us to discuss your distribution model and operational requirements.

What are your typical lead times for brand production?
Lead times depend on volume and garment type. Standard production schedules are agreed before manufacturing begins, with express options available where capacity allows.

Can you support new brand development?
Yes. We work with start-ups and growing labels, assisting with construction guidance, fit development and scalable production planning.

Is all manufacturing completed in the UK?
Yes. Printing, cutting and sewing are handled in-house at our UK workshop. We do not outsource production overseas.
