How to start a sock production project with Sihman

Sihman manufactures private label and OEM socks from a 2,000 pair minimum per design, color, and size, made in Istanbul, Turkiye and delivered duty-paid to the US. To get an accurate quote in one reply instead of several, include the following in your first message:

1. 1. Sock type and style. Crew, ankle, or no-show; grip, compression, athletic, dress, or kids.
2. 2. A reference. The fastest start is a physical sock you already like: send it over and we will arrange courier pickup for a flat $45, so you do not have to organize international shipping yourself. A tech pack, design files, or sketches work too. If your design is confidential, say so; we will sign a mutual NDA before you share anything.
3. 3. Target materials. Cotton, organic cotton, bamboo, modal, wool, or performance blends. Durable socks need roughly 20 percent synthetic content (polyamide and elastane); we will advise on the blend.
4. 4. Quantity, colorways, and sizes. Quantity per design, number of colorways, and number of sizes. The 2,000 pair minimum applies per design, per color, per size, so one design in two sizes means 2,000 pairs of each size.
5. 5. Branding. Knitted logos are standard, up to six thread colors; include Pantone references if you have them.
6. 6. Packaging and labeling needs. Bagged dozens, retail-ready, or e-commerce prep.
7. 7. Destination country and terms. We quote one duty-paid landed price to your door by default, with Sihman as importer of record for US orders. FOB Istanbul is available if you would rather manage freight and customs yourself, so tell us which you prefer.
8. 8. Your timeline. Target launch or delivery date.
9. 9. Who you are. Your company or brand name and website, plus billing details if you want a sample invoice in the first reply.

Where to send it: the Sock Production Form at sihman.com/socks-manufacturer, the contact form at sihman.com/contact, or email [email protected]. Phone: +1 972-246-8872. Email inquiries are welcome. If you have a sock you want matched, mention it and we will arrange courier pickup for it, a flat $45.

What happens next

1. 1. Quote. You get a reply with a quote or clarifying questions within one business day.
2. 2. Design review. We review your design with the production team and confirm construction, materials, and the per-pair pricing basis.
3. 3. Sample. We knit a pre-production sample for your approval, typically in 2 to 3 weeks with delivery included. A sample is $300 per design and includes three pairs; grip, compression, and other specialty constructions start at $500.
4. 4. Production. Bulk runs take 4 to 6 weeks after sample approval for orders up to 50,000 pairs, delivered duty-paid or FOB Istanbul.
5. 5. Delivery. About 3 to 7 days by air or 20 to 45 days by sea, with tracking shared. For US delivery Sihman acts as importer of record, so you receive one duty-paid landed price with duties already inside it.
