Core Apparel

A bit of a rocky start with the initial quote, but once we got on a call, everything was cleared up. The quality of the outerwear—specifically the water-resistant shells—is fantastic. My customers have been raving about the fit.

As a brand owner, I value transparency. Fabrake provided photos of the fabric being cut and the sewing line in action. It’s great to see the "behind the scenes" of your own production. The cargo pants we ordered are rugged and the stitching is reinforced in all the right places

The fabric has a great weight to it. We ordered French Terry sets. One thing to note: specify your zipper preference early, as the standard ones were a bit shiny for my taste, though they did swap them out for matte ones once I asked.

Fabrake is a solid platform. We’ve done three production runs with them now for our lounge line. Their strength is definitely in their quality control—out of a 500-piece order, we only had about three items with minor stitching defects, which is an incredible ratio. Their communication style is very direct and clear, no fluff. They give realistic timelines and they actually stick to them. It’s just easy to do business with them.

Solid platform. We placed a bulk order of 2,000 units for our activewear line. The stitching on the performance leggings is top-tier—no chafing issues or loose threads. My only gripe was that the shipping took four days longer than estimated, and the tracking wasn't updated in real-time. But the account manager was very apologetic and professional about it. The product quality makes up for the minor shipping delay.

Fabrake.com has completely streamlined our sourcing. We do high-end contemporary womenswear, so finishing is everything to us. The silk blends they sourced are stunning, and the French seams are immaculate. What I appreciate most is their transparency; if a specific fabric isn't going to drape well for the design we want, they actually tell us instead of just taking the money and making a bad product.

I had a pretty average experience to start because my first contact person was quite vague with their answers regarding lead times. I requested a different account manager and the experience did a total 180. The new rep was incredibly organized and provided weekly updates. The oversized tees we produced are heavy, high-quality, and our customers love them.

We source our cut-and-sew mesh shorts here. The breathability and quality of the fabric are on par with major athletic brands. They are highly professional and the sampling process is very thorough. It takes a bit of time to get things moving, but the end result is worth the wait.

Fabrake is solid. Our activewear line requires very specific flatlock stitching so it doesn't chafe, and they nailed it. My only gripe was that the initial tech pack consultation felt a bit rushed, but the end product speaks for itself. True to size and the moisture-wicking fabric passed all our lab tests.

Fabrake is a lifesaver for our merch company. We do high-volume bulk orders of basic hoodies and snapbacks. Their reliability is what keeps us coming back. No surprises, no hidden fees, and the goods always arrive ready to be printed and shipped to our clients.
