Custom Acid Wash Shorts – Wholesale, Bulk, OEM & Private Label Manufacturer

We make custom acid wash shorts for brands, retailers, and businesses all over the world. Whether you need a small batch for a new label or a large bulk order for your store, our factory can handle it. Every pair is built to your design, with your logo, your colors, and your fit. As a full-service clothing manufacturer, we take your idea and turn it into a finished product that carries your brand and only your brand. This page walks you through everything you need to know before you place a wholesale or private label order with us.

What Are Acid Wash Shorts?

Acid wash shorts are shorts that go through a special washing process that gives the fabric a faded, marbled look. The wash creates light and dark patches across the material, so no two pairs look exactly alike. This vintage style first became popular with denim in the 1980s, and it is a strong seller again today. We produce the acid wash finish on denim, cotton, fleece, and French terry, so you can offer this look in jean shorts, sweat shorts, and more.

The acid wash effect comes from treating the garment with pumice stones soaked in a bleaching agent. Our team controls the wash time and the mix to reach the exact shade you want, from a soft, light fade to a bold, high-contrast finish. If you prefer a gentler method, we also offer stone wash, mineral wash, and enzyme wash. Each one gives a slightly different worn-in feel that buyers love, and all of them can be mixed with your custom colors.

Acid Wash Shorts for Men, Women, and Kids

We manufacture acid wash shorts for the whole family. You can order one style on its own or build a full range across all three groups. This makes it simple to grow your product line and serve more customers from a single supplier.

Men’s Acid Wash Shorts

Our men’s acid wash shorts come in many fits and lengths. Pick regular fit, slim fit, or a relaxed baggy cut. Popular styles include acid wash denim shorts, cargo shorts with side pockets, and soft fleece sweat shorts for a streetwear look. We offer above-the-knee and knee-length options, plus different rise heights. You can add features like a drawstring waist, an elastic waistband, zip pockets, or raw hems to match your brand.

Women’s Acid Wash Shorts

For women, we make high-waisted acid wash shorts, biker shorts, jean shorts, and lounge shorts. These are cut for a comfortable, flattering shape. Choose from short, mid, and longer lengths, and add details like rolled cuffs, distressed edges, or a frayed hem. Our ladies’ shorts work well for retail brands, boutiques, and online stores that want a trendy item that is easy to sell.

Kids Acid Wash Shorts

We also produce acid wash shorts for kids, including boys and girls. These use soft, skin-friendly fabric and safe dyes that pass strict child safety testing. Kids’ shorts come with comfy elastic waistbands and strong stitching that holds up to play and washing. You can order matching family sets or a stand-alone kids’ range in the same washes and colors as your adult line.

Custom Acid Wash Shorts Made Your Way

Everything we build is custom. You send us your idea, and we bring it to life. Below are the main choices you can pick from. If you have something special in mind that is not on this list, just ask. We work from your tech pack, your sketch, or a sample you already own.

Fabric and Material Options

You choose the exact fabric for your shorts. Common picks include 100% cotton, cotton and polyester blends, ring-spun cotton, combed cotton, French terry, fleece, denim, and twill. We also offer organic cotton and recycled cotton for brands that care about the environment. You set the fabric weight (GSM), so your shorts can feel light and airy or thick and warm. A heavier GSM works well for winter sweat shorts, while a lighter GSM suits summer styles. Not sure which one fits your product? We can send fabric swatches so you can feel them first.

Wash and Color Options

Acid wash is our specialty, but you are not limited to a single look. Pick the wash strength, the base color, and the contrast level. We can match almost any shade using the Pantone color system, so your shorts sit perfectly inside your brand. Along with acid wash, we offer stone wash, mineral wash, bleach wash, tie dye, overdye, and pigment dye. Want a classic blue acid wash, a black acid wash, or a bright pastel finish? We can produce all of these.

Fit, Style, and Size Options

You control the fit and the full size range. We grade sizes from XS to 5XL for adults and from toddler sizes up to youth large for kids. Set the length, the rise, the leg opening, and the waistband style. Options include an elastic waist, a drawstring, a button and zip fly, and side-seam or cargo pockets. You can add or remove belt loops, rivets, and back pockets. Every measurement is set by you and checked against your size chart before bulk production begins.

Custom Logo and Branding Options

Your name belongs on every pair. We give you many ways to add your logo and make the shorts fully your own. Mix and match these methods to create a strong private label product that stands out on the shelf and online.

Logo Printing and Embroidery

We offer a wide set of logo methods so you can pick the best look for your design. These include screen printing, embroidery, heat transfer, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, direct-to-film (DTF) printing, and sublimation printing. Embroidery gives a raised, premium feel, while screen printing is great for bold, large prints and big bulk runs. Place your logo on the leg, the back, the waistband, or the pocket. There is no strict limit on print areas, so you can brand as many spots as you like, including a small tag logo and a large statement print on the same pair.

Custom Labels, Hang Tags, and Packaging

Branding goes far beyond the logo. We add custom woven labels, printed neck labels, and care labels that show your washing instructions. You can order custom hang tags, size tags, and price tags printed with your artwork. For packaging, we provide custom poly bags, tissue paper, stickers, and branded boxes. This full private label service means your order arrives ready to sell, with your name on every part. Many clients also add a “made for” tag or a size sticker to finish the look and give buyers a complete brand feel.

Wholesale Acid Wash Shorts in Bulk

We are a wholesale acid wash shorts supplier built for bulk orders. Buying in bulk lowers your cost per unit, which means better margins for your business. Whether you run a retail chain, an online store, or a growing clothing brand, we can produce the volume you need at a fair wholesale price. Larger orders also get priority in our production line and better rates on shipping.

Our wholesale program is simple. Tell us the styles, sizes, and quantities, and we send you a clear quote. We keep our pricing honest with no hidden fees. As your order size grows, your unit price drops. This makes it easy to plan your budget and scale your line season after season, from your first drop to your busiest sales period.

OEM and Private Label Acid Wash Shorts Manufacturing

We work as both an OEM and ODM manufacturer. If you already have a full design and tech pack, we build it exactly to your spec (OEM). If you need help creating a product from scratch, our design team can guide you from a rough idea to a finished sample (ODM). Either way, the final product carries your brand only, never ours. This is true private label manufacturing.

As a full-service garment manufacturer, we handle cutting, sewing, washing, printing, and finishing all under one roof. Our cut-and-sew setup lets us control quality at every step. You get one point of contact and one factory for the whole job, which saves you time and keeps your product looking the same order after order. That kind of steady quality is hard to get when your work is spread across many small vendors.

Our Manufacturing Process and Quality Control

Every order follows a clear path. First, we review your design and make a sample for your approval. Once you sign off, we move to bulk production. We source the fabric, cut the panels, sew the shorts, apply the acid wash, add your branding, and run a final check. Nothing ships until it meets your standard.

Quality control runs through the whole line, not just at the end. Our team checks fabric quality, stitching, wash color, measurements, and print placement. We use double-needle stitching and reinforced seams on stress points so the shorts hold up through many wears and washes. Where needed, we pre-shrink the fabric so your sizes stay true after the first wash. Before packing, each unit passes a final QC inspection so you receive a clean, consistent order every time.

Low MOQ and High Production Capacity

We keep our minimum order quantity low so small and new brands can work with us. For custom designs, our MOQ is just 50 to 100 pieces per style. This is a great fit for startups, boutiques, and print-on-demand sellers who want quality without a huge upfront order. You can test a new style in a small run, then reorder more once it starts selling.

At the same time, we have the muscle for large jobs. Our factory can produce up to 10,000 units per month. That means we can grow right along with you. Start with a small batch today, then scale to thousands of pieces as your brand takes off. Because our line is set up for steady, high-volume output, our lead times stay fair even when the order is big.

Who We Work With

We supply acid wash shorts to many kinds of buyers. These include clothing brands, streetwear labels, fashion startups, retail stores, boutiques, e-commerce sellers, print-on-demand businesses, and distributors. We also make custom shorts for teams, gyms, and promotional campaigns. No matter your size, from a one-person brand to a large retailer, we treat every order with the same care.

If you resell apparel, drop-ship, or run your own label, we can be your steady manufacturing partner. Many of our clients start with a single product and grow into a full catalog with our help. We are glad to support long-term reorders and seasonal drops, and we make it easy to add new styles as your brand grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for custom acid wash shorts?

Our minimum order quantity, or MOQ, for custom designs is 50 to 100 pieces per style. We set it this low on purpose so small brands, startups, and boutiques can get quality shorts without a large upfront cost. You can split that quantity across sizes, so a 100-piece order might include a mix of small, medium, large, and extra-large. If you order more than one style, each style has its own MOQ. This low minimum lets you test new designs in the market before you commit to a bigger run. Once a style sells well, you can reorder in larger amounts and enjoy a lower price per unit. For very large buyers, there is no upper limit within our monthly capacity of 10,000 units.

Can you put my own logo and brand name on the shorts?

Yes. Every order is fully private label, which means your logo and brand go on the product and ours never do. We offer many branding methods, including embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer, DTG printing, DTF printing, and sublimation. Place your logo on the leg, waistband, pocket, or back. On top of the logo, we add custom woven labels, printed neck labels, care labels, and hang tags with your artwork. We can brand the packaging too, with custom poly bags, stickers, and boxes. The goal is for your finished shorts to look and feel like they came straight from your own brand, because they did. Just send us your logo file and tell us where you want it, and we take care of the rest.

What fabrics do you use for acid wash shorts?

We work with a wide range of fabrics so you can pick the exact feel you want. Common options are 100% cotton, cotton and polyester blends, ring-spun cotton, combed cotton, French terry, fleece, denim, and twill. For brands that want eco-friendly choices, we also offer organic cotton and recycled cotton. You choose the fabric weight, measured in GSM, which controls how light or heavy the shorts feel. A lighter GSM is great for summer styles, while a heavier GSM suits warm fleece sweat shorts. All of our fabrics are chosen to hold the acid wash color well and to stay soft after many washes. If you are unsure which fabric fits your product, we can mail you swatches to feel before you decide.

Do you make acid wash shorts for men, women, and kids?

Yes, we make acid wash shorts for men, women, and kids. Our men’s range includes denim shorts, cargo shorts, and fleece sweat shorts in slim, regular, and relaxed fits. Our women’s range covers high-waisted shorts, biker shorts, jean shorts, and lounge styles cut for a comfortable shape. For kids, we use soft, safe fabric and gentle dyes that pass strict child safety testing, with easy elastic waistbands and strong stitching. You can order for just one group or build a full range across all three. Some clients even order matching family sets in the same wash and color. Sizing runs from XS to 5XL for adults and from toddler sizes up to youth large for kids.

How long does production take, and can I get a sample first?

Yes, you can get a sample before your bulk order, and we always suggest it. After we agree on your design, we make a pre-production sample so you can check the fit, wash, color, and branding in person. Sample time usually takes about one to two weeks, depending on how detailed your design is. Once you approve the sample, bulk production normally takes around three to five weeks, based on your order size and the time of year. Very large orders may take a little longer, but our factory is built for steady output, so lead times stay fair. We keep you updated at each stage, from fabric sourcing to the final quality check, so you always know where your order stands.

How many acid wash shorts can you produce, and can you handle large bulk orders?

Our factory can produce up to 10,000 units per month, so we are ready for both small and large bulk orders. If you are a growing brand, this means you can start with a small batch at our low MOQ of 50 to 100 pieces and scale all the way up to thousands of pieces as demand grows. Large wholesale orders get priority in our line and better pricing per unit. Because we handle cutting, sewing, washing, printing, and finishing in one place, we can keep quality steady even on high-volume jobs. Whether you need a few hundred pairs for a boutique or several thousand for a retail chain, we can meet your target on time.

What printing and branding methods do you offer, and do you ship worldwide?

We offer a full set of printing and branding methods, so you can build a product that matches your brand exactly. These include screen printing, embroidery, heat transfer, DTG printing, DTF printing, and sublimation printing. You can add custom woven labels, neck labels, care labels, hang tags, and branded packaging. There is no strict limit on print areas, so you can brand the leg, waistband, pocket, back, and more. And yes, we ship worldwide. No matter where your business is based, we can deliver your custom acid wash shorts to your door. We share shipping options and timelines along with your quote, so there are no surprises later.
