Update 1 June 2023, Thai Son is now producing wet suits.

I interviewed the owner of Thai Son, Mrs. Sim, and here is the script from the interview.

Mrs Sim shared the following information about her factory.

My parents first started producing cut and sew knitwear when I was in High School. I joined them in 1993 and started developing relations with customers overseas. Decades later we have experience exporting to USA, UK, France, Belgium, Poland, Australia and Russia. Our factory has steadily grown from doing CMT only with 2 sewing lines to doing FOB and LDP with 17 sewing lines. We have faced many problems and solved them all when it comes to producing cut and sew knit garments in Vietnam. Another great Vietnamese manufacturer in our list of factories in Vietnam.

We produce men's, women's and children's clothing using circular knitted fabrics. We buy cotton, polyester, viscose, modal and spandex yarn. We import the yarn into Vietnam and then outsource the knitting. We make basic jersey fabric and complicated jacquard fabric. We also outsource the fabric dyeing to our trusted Oeko-Tex certified partners who will dye to your Pantone color and finish the fabric according to your technical specifications. We check fabric and cut it before sending it to our 17 sewing lines for seaming and embellishment. We also source trims and accessories from Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Indonesia and Korea. We iron and pack under our roof. We have our own in-house quality control and welcome third party inspectors likes SGS, TUV and Intertek. After packing in poly bags and carton boxes, we deliver your finished garments to the Ho Chi Minh city port where your freight forwarder manages shipping.

We are a family owned private clothing manufacturer with two factories and one merchandising office. Our first factory is now rebuilt into our headquarters. Our headquarters is located downtown Ho Chi Minh City and contains our merchandising office, pattern and marker team, sample lines, logistics and accounting department. Our 2nd factory is located 30 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City and currently has 6 sewing lines. Our 3rd factory is located 2.5 hours outside of Ho Chi Minh City and currently has 11 sewing lines. Read below to learn about our MOQ, payment terms and lead times.

We also want to answer all your questions before you send us your tech pack and order quantities. Visit our website https://www.thaisonspgarment.com and you will see lots of pictures of the types of clothing we specialize in. We don’t make woven garments like suits, dress shirts, swimsuits or lingerie. We specialize in embellished and fashionable styles for men, women and children. We have flat lock machines if you need yoga workout clothes or cycling jerseys. Leggings, for example, is a style we've done a lot of in 2017/18. Our sweet spot is women's dresses using circular knit fabrics.

Our MOQ is 2,000 pieces per style. This is assuming that the fabric consumption is the same as a t-shirt. If the garment style is a full length dress the MOQ is lower - like 500 - because the fabric consumption is higher. If the garment style is a sports bra then the MOQ is higher - like 1,800 - because the fabric consumption is lower. Our main constraint is the fabric MOQ imposed on us by our fabric suppliers which is 1,000 meters per color. Another great Vietnamese manufacturer in our list of factories in Vietnam.

In 2008 we started to develop our own fabric as opposed to buying all our fabric from China like most Vietnamese clothing manufacturers. We went to India to meet with cotton growers and started importing cotton into Vietnam. Then we developed relationships with knitting and dyeing houses in Ho Chi Minh city. Today we produce over 200 tons per month of circular knitted fabrics for our customers. To produce more is just a matter of making some phone calls and QC ing the production. Our goal is to sell fabric wholesale but we still struggle to keep up with our own demand.

ODM stands for original design manufacturer and implies that we design for you as well as produce. There are two kinds of ODM. One kind is where you give us direction, colors, concept ideas and we design a collection for you. The other kind of ODM is where we design according to our own design concepts and if you like our styles you buy them. While we are very good at modifying designs to lower costs without sacrificing quality we are not strong at designing from scratch. We get asked for a catalogue of styles to choose from but at this time we don't have one.

We can help you quality for lower import duties. We are very good at understanding rules of origin and qualifying for free trade agreement tariff reductions. We have a lot of experience exporting to Russia duty free and we are currently schooling ourselves about CPTPP. If you need help checking your HS-Code we can help you in some cases or we can refer you to our trusted custom broker friends.

When it comes to payment terms we require a deposit and shy away from L/Cs.

Our production lead time is 60 to 120 days from pre-production sample approval and confirmation of order.

We don't sell stock garments so please don't ask us about stock.

Please don't just show up at our office. Make an appointment in advance so we can arrange for transportation and make sure our key staff are free to receive you.

For more information please contact us via our contact page.

We are a reliable knit fabric supplier in Vietnam. We buy cotton, polyester, viscose, modal and spandex yarn from suppliers all over Asia. We import the yarn and drop ship it to our partner knitting factories. We can make jersey, pique, jacquard, rib, waffle, interlock, french terry or Ponte Roma. We can make slub, space-dye, tie-dye, hot TR, burn-out, melange and more. We send the fabric to our partner dye houses and manage the dyeing to meet your requirements like Pantone color, weight and finish. If you need special finishes like acid wash, silicone wash, wicking or anti-microbial, then we can do it. We check the fabric using the 4-point checking system and take full responsibility.

Do you need stripes? We can produce engineered stripes with a repeat of 1.6 meters. We can also offer AOP stripes. AOP stands for all over print.

China still offers great quality and competitive pricing compared to locally made circular knit textiles. Most factories in Vietnam buy their fabric from China. We also have good sources of textile fabric in China. We often buy polyester and fleece fabric from China because the quality is good and the prices are cheaper than making it in Vietnam. We manage the shipping and always inspect the fabric before cutting.

The fabric dye-houses we work with are Oeko-Tex certified and if you need Organic GOTs certified fabric we have supply chains established to support your needs. Generally our fabric lead time is 2 to 4 weeks and we always send you lab dibs for approval ASAP.

We can print on the fabric using any quality of ink you are willing to pay for. Our screen printing partners can do piece printing and all over printing. Send us your art work in high resolution files and we will suggest the best printing technique to meet your requirements. We can offer water based ink, plastisol ink and discharge printing.

Please note the distinction between circular knit and flat knit. Flat knit is also referred to fully fashion knit or sweater fabric. We don't work with flat knit fabric. We also don't produce garments made with woven fabric.

Un Available is a sewing factory in Vietnam that specializes in both knit and woven streetwear apparel. The owners originally came to Vietnam to source manufacturing for their own t-shirt brand and they immediately encountered cultural differences which they have mastered over the years. They eventually built their own factory that produces for their own brand and others like Supreme, Palace and Saturdays. If you want to work with the best custom t-shirt maker in Vietnam that produces quality-on-time in small quantity with exemplary customer service then pull back the curtains and let me introduce you to another great Vietnamese manufacturer in our list of factories in Vietnam.

Marshall Artist is the name of their brand and it started in London in 2001. They quickly became one of the UK’s most loved menswear brands. They aimed to create modern tailoring for modern people, producing contemporary and relevant clothing that is wearable, but also showcases British eccentricity. After producing a few seasons of both knit and woven styles ranging from wind runners to board shorts they were ready to start producing for other brands in Vietnam.

Un Available management spends a lot of time and energy understanding and adapting to Vietnamese culture to constantly improve efficiency, lower costs and add value to their clothing manufacturing business. For example, in Vietnamese culture the junior staff are brought up to be submissive. They wait to be told what to do. At Un Available, the staff is trained to be pro-active and speak up regardless of age or position. To this day, the management focuses on hiring and training staff that is open to adapting to a western way of working. Un Available encourages staff to take ownership in the work they do.

From Un Available’s point of view as a brand they saw a gap in the market for small quantity full service apparel manufacturing. They identified the weakness of Vietnam being clear communication and ownership in design, development, sourcing and customer service. They committed to Vietnam when Vietnam was hungry for new business. They caught the wave early and successfully navigated the culture to become the best street wear fashion producer in Vietnam that can produce both knit and woven fashion garments with an MOQ of 250 pieces per style per color - under one roof. Their culture of accountability has lead to a momentum that will last for many years to come. Get a piece of the action in Vietnam by working with Un Available to produce your custom t shirts that can pass Japanese quality control standards and meet your tight deadlines.

One of their prized customers is Munster. Rich Brown, the founder, explains the Munster brand identity as Kids, kids, kids! They’re the future, they are young and wild and they need fashionable clothes that will withstand the playground grind. Munster was started by a couple of new parents looking for cool, quality clothing for their own little wild man. They have grown organically and filled a gap in the market for surf, skate and street culture inspired apparel for children. Thanks to Un Available’s unwavering support and on-time quality production Munster is poised to continue it’s growth since the owners can focus on design, marketing and sales.

Un Available offers full service apparel manufacturing. They source fabric, trims and accessories for you. They manage quality control from fabric checking to packing list sign offs. You pay one price and they take 100% responsibility to deliver according to tech packs and approved production samples.

Their sewers are trained to work with a wide variety of needles and a diverse range of garment types. Woven garments require large needle sizes that can penetrate heavy fabrics and knit garments require small needle sizes that gently seam light jersey fabrics. Thanks to the variety of machines they have and the staff being multi-skilled they are able to make corduroy jackets, sweatshirts, denim pants, t-shirts, board shorts, hoodies and windbreakers - you design it and they most likely can make it.

Another great Vietnamese manufacturer in our list of factories in Vietnam.

It is hard to find one factory that can produce your whole collection. Un Available has 61 spare sewing machines that they store and maintain. This is what allows them to produce such a wide variety of apparel styles using both knit and woven fabrics so you don’t have to work with multiple factories. Un Available has enough floor space to quickly re-arrange their lines with the right sewing machines to be uber-flexible. They manage this surplus of machines so you can consolidate your development, production, quality control, ironing and packing in one factory.

Screen Printing in House - Un Available has their own silkscreening facilities inside their sewing factory which is rare in Vietnam. They have two primary automatic rotary printing machines. One is the M&R made in USA. The other is TAS made in Australia. Both have 10 heads and can print up to 8 colors. Both print 400 prints per hour. For sampling they use the M&R chameleon rotary printer. Un Available has two glass top tables with 30 stations each. They have one table heater and one table curer. They have one small bed printer also referred to as back neck screen printer. It can print on a sleeve, front chest or back neck with a speed of 450 per hour. Their printing machinery can produce 200,000 prints per month. Their silkscreen t shirt factory in Vietnam excels at making garments that have multiple prints on one garment.

Printing machinery is one of the most important factors in running a silkscreen t shirt factory in Vietnam. I would like to invite you to come and visit their factory to see their set up. They will show you how they use them and how they maintain them. They are particularly good at the screen printing techniques listed below like foil and glimmer printing.

History - Un Available’s journey started in 1999 when two friends foresaw the potential in Vietnam. Darren was in Vietnam producing garments for European brands. Paul was in UK building his street wear fashion brand, Marshall Artist. Darren was producing for Paul and recommended they go all in and embrace Vietnam’s upward trajectory. The idea was to produce quality garments for small brands offering full service as a custom t shirt printer in Vietnam. It was rough getting started due to the cultural differences but overtime they planted their UK roots in Vietnamese soil. Back in 1999, Vietnam was just beginning to blossom yet still operating like a Spaghetti Western. Darren and Paul identified and cultivated a skilled work force, set up reliable fabrics supply chains and managed the outsourcing of silk screening. Vietnam was home and they became Un Available due to the incessant demand for their premium custom t shirt printing services. Fast forward to today and they have eight sewing lines making both knit and woven. They sold their L'Usine brand and now focus on serving other customers like Publish and The Peaceful Hooligan.

Marshall Artists’ first Vietnam collection came together amazingly fast. They had four printed t shirts and three sweat suits. They ordered 750 of each style and started production within a week. They struggled with some faulty fabric and inks that were peeling off after two washes. They worked together with the local Vietnamese to import replacement fabric and buy higher quality inks for their second production run. The lessons they learned by the third production run in less than six months thanks earned them their reputation as a high quality custom t shirt printer in Ho Chi Minh City.

Fast forward to 2012, Un Available noticed the lack of street cred in local fashion. They designed their own local brand and opened a store in Vietnam to showcase it. They learned quickly that Vietnamese taste for fashion is very different than western tastes and now only target travelers in the district one of Saigon. Deciphering the Vietnamese market demands proved harder than anticipated.

Their history has been exciting and full of lessons learned. They have maintained their business contacts since 1999 and expanded their supply chains. They built a brand and sold it. Their history makes them one of the best custom t shirt printers in Vietnam. They are particularly good at the screen printing techniques listed below like rubber ink and 3D printing.

Unique Selling Points - Un Available has three unique selling points. They employ western management systems to ensure quality control and maximize efficiency. They use quality inks from Japan for in-house screen-printing. And, they have the ability to sew both knit and woven garments. They are truly one of a kind in Vietnam.

The owners of Un Available sewing factory are British and Australian. They employs basic western practices like listening to staff before making critical decisions. They have written policies and procedures that are followed and continuously updated. They promote from within. They hold all staff equally accountable and reward overachievers. They follow the Vietnamese laws and make sure staff are paid social insurances along with their base salaries. These are a few reasons why sewers like working at Un Available and well know brands like Supreme to trust their crews to Un Available.

Un Available knows the importance of using quality inks and choose Japanese inks. Japanese inks produce vibrant colors, have great colorfastness and don’t fade after a few washes like cheaper inks do.

Un Available targets emerging fashion brands that have a wide range of garment styles in their collections. Un Available set up two groups of sewing lines. One group excels at knitted garments like tee’s and hoodies while the other group of sewing lines has expertise in making woven garments like khaki pants, board shorts and button down shirts. This is rare in Vietnam and presents challenges like additional overhead, hiring multi-skilled technicians and storing a variety of machines that are not used daily. Being able to sew both knit and woven garments allows Un Available to be a one stop print shop for fashion brands that have both knit and woven fabric in their collections. Most factories are either knit or woven factories, not both. Knit fabric vs woven fabric handles differently when sewing and they require different machines. Also, most factories in Vietnam only offer CMPT whereas Un Available offers FOB which means full service from fabric to packing.

If you are a niche brand with over the top detail requirements then consider Un Available as your printed t shirt maker in Ho Chi Minh city. If your sales are breaking out and you need to go overseas fast, then consider Un Available’s three unique selling points and contact me to introduce you to the boss. They are set up to support you with low MOQs, high quality, and trouble free production. Once they get the samples the way you want them you don’t have to lose sleep during production. You can be sure your garments will show up on time in perfect condition.

Un Available's boss always has a direct line of communication with the owners of the brands they produce for. Three brands that appreciate that close relationship are Palace, Saturdays and Munster. Un Available treats their customers' designs and production as if it was their own. Un Available knows the importance of intellectual property protection because they have their own brand. Un Available delivers excellence as if they have the same skin in the game as their customers do.

Palace founder Lev Tanju planned for authenticity and needed a factory that would say yes to everything he wanted. When the ex-skater set up Palace in 2009 south of London, one thing was non-negotiable: the logo had to be supersized. He asked, “Can you make the logo as big as it will go on the back of the shirt, as far as the seam will allow?” Un Available said yes. Lev Tanju went on to ask them, “Can you guarantee that none of my designs will be leaked.” Un Available said yes. Can you produce small runs of 250 each design? Un Available said yes. To learn more about Palace check out this great article written by the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2016/may/03/cult-label-palace-uk-skate-kids-hip-hop-royalty-brand-rihanna-jay-z-teens-dads-leve-tanju

Saturdays. Colin Tunstall, Morgan Collett and Josh Rosen all co-founded Saturdays back in 2009. If you can imagine a surf brand in New York City then you can begin to understand their universe. They run a coffee shop, design a full range of menswear apparel, and also curate a namesake magazine with no advertisements and rare interviews. They heard about Un Available, a vintage t shirt printer in Ho Chi Minh City, and trusted Un Available with their need for attention to detail and aesthetic quality. Un Available brings their brand to life with grace and casual vibes that embodies their brand identity. How could you not want to produce apparel for Saturdays? To learn more about Saturdays check out this interview by Hypebeast. https://hypebeast.com/2013/11/saturdays-surf-nycs-co-founders-talk-about-the-brand. Un Available does and they consider themselves lucky.

The cornerstone of the Un Available culture is responsibility. They have developed processes and systems that clearly define individual accountability. When one person has a particularly productive day they get kudos on the spot. If one staff is not pulling their weight then management pinpoints the problem and implements corrective action quickly. Every action in the manufacturing process is transparently hyper-analyzed; that transparency breeds accountability. This is how Un Available has overcome cultural differences and is the most reliable premium custom t-shirt maker in Vietnam employing a western way of working from top management to factory floor staff.

Dave Quach was born and raised in Vietnam. He watched his parents import fabric from China as soon as the war was over and trade was possible back in 1980. After graduating from University in New Zealand he returned to Vietnam to accomplish his dream of supplying specialty fabrics to the domestic market. He is dedicated to promoting textile production that is environmentally friendlier than conventional textiles. His company’s name is greenyarn.vn.

Most of these products use the top dye technology to dye silk before spinning so it is less harmful to the environment. Another great Vietnamese manufacturer in our list of factories in Vietnam.
