Shorts and underwear using organic cotton and Merino wool, with fit and material requirements set by style.
Our role
Sourcing, technical development, production management, quality control and logistics.
Activewear
& athleisure.
Develop individual styles or a coordinated collection, with fabric, fit and construction resolved before production.
Women's activewear & yoga
Sports bras, sculpting leggings, biker shorts, yoga sets, breathable tanks and wrap tops. Soft-hand fabrics and support are developed for the intended activity.
Men's training apparel
Training shorts, compression leggings, tees, base layers and joggers. Technical synthetics, organic cotton and Merino wool support different product requirements.
Athleisure & layers
Hoodies, warm-ups, midlayers and technical outer layers. Coordinate the proportions and finish across the collection.
Fit across the size range.
Standard sizing is XS–XL. Extended sizing from XXS–5X is quoted separately, with grading and fit checks for the expanded range.
Fabric &
construction.
The fabric has to work in the finished garment.
For full-package programs, we source brushed nylon and elastane, compression fabrics, recycled polyester, technical rib, circular knits, Merino wool and powermesh.
Hand feel, opacity, stretch recovery and support are reviewed through sampling. Patterns and grade rules are developed for the fabric and fit, with your approval before bulk.
Certified materials
Our dye and fabric partners hold bluesign, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and GOTS certification. Certified materials are available on request. Ask for certification details for your selected material and production facility.
From sample
to production.
The approved sample sets the standard for fit, construction and finish.
- 01
Designing a prototype
Send your tech pack and we move straight into sampling.
You can also send a garment you want the fit built from. We can pattern off a physical reference on both CMT and full package for the first sample.
- 02
Sampling
Develop the sample in the intended material. Review the fit and construction, then agree on the garment before production costing.
- 03
Pattern development
Patterns are made and corrected in Los Angeles. Review with a fit model or return notes on your sample. Nothing moves to bulk without approval.
- 04
Grading
Build the size set from the approved sample. Supply your grade rules or work with us to establish them for the garment's stretch and fit.
- 05
Bulk production
Fabric is relaxed, cut, sewn and finished. Material approvals, inline inspections and final AQL checks follow the agreed specifications.
- 06
Finishing & delivery
Labels, tags, folding, polybagging and cartons follow your specifications. We coordinate logistics and customs documentation for delivery.

Trusted by Over 1000 brands since 2020
BOMME STUDIO was founded in 2020. Our CEO, Bo Metz, has developed private label activewear programs since 2015 and has 26 years in performance apparel.
We have developed athletic shorts, sports bras, yoga pants, and compression gear across every construction in the category. Bo co-sponsored California SB62, the Garment Worker Protection Act, which ended piece-rate pay in California garment manufacturing and established brand liability for wage violations in the supply chain. Hourly wage compliance costs more than piece rate. A domestic quote and a piece-rate quote are not the same thing.
Activewear FAQs.
What is the MOQ for custom activewear manufacturing?
Cut, Make, Trim (CMT) production starts at 150 units per style, where you supply fabric and trims and cutting and quality control run in Los Angeles. Full-Package Production starts at 600 units per style, where BOMME STUDIO sources the fabric. Development fees are waived on production orders of 600 or more units per style.
Do you manufacture activewear in the USA?
Yes, through the cut and sew program at 150 units per style. Cutting and quality control run in Los Angeles. Sewing runs in Los Angeles or an audited Tijuana facility, disclosed in writing per program. There is no domestic full-package program. Full-package production runs in Vietnam or other countries based on capacity.
What size range do you produce?
The standard range is XS through XL, five sizes per colorway, included in the style minimum. Extended sizing from XXS through 5X is available and quoted separately, because each additional size requires its own marker and grade.
How many colors can I run per style?
Two colors or prints per style at the 150-unit minimum.
Can BOMME STUDIO source fabrics and trims for activewear?
Yes, on full-package programs. We source performance knits including brushed and compression nylon and elastane blends, recycled polyester, technical rib, and powermesh, along with elastics, zippers, labels, and packaging. Certified materials can be specified at sourcing.
Do you handle both smaller runs and high-volume production?
Yes, within stated minimums. The Los Angeles operation runs cut and sew from 150 units per style with shorter lead times and direct access to sample makers. Offshore full-package partners run high-volume programs from 600 units per style at lower unit cost. Both operate under the same BOMME STUDIO quality standards and QC oversight.
How long does activewear production take?
Timelines depend on program type, order size, and fabric sourcing. After sample approval, most CMT runs complete within 6-8 weeks after receiving all materials from you. Full-package timelines scale with volume, and fabric lead time is usually the constraint. Lead times are confirmed in writing at the start of each project.
Can you help with sampling and fit development?
Yes. Sample makers in Los Angeles refine patterns, adjust fits, and produce pre-production samples before bulk manufacturing begins. Sampling is quoted separately on CMT and does not count toward the production minimum. On full package at 600 units per style, sampling is included.
Do I need a tech pack?
No. Most brands come to us without one. Send a tech pack if you have it and we move faster into costing and sampling. If you do not have one, send a garment you want the fit built from. We pattern off a physical reference on both CMT and full package.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. BOMME STUDIO supports clients worldwide and coordinates logistics, customs documentation, and packaging.
