As modern activewear brands scale up their requirements, sourcing track jackets requires deep alignment with sustainable fabric innovation, factory compliance, and rapid prototyping capabilities.

Founded in the year of 2000, our corporation makes an annual turnover of over thirty million U.S. dollars after these 20 years of efforts and experiences through challenges and adversities. Now, as the leading garment import and export company in the Ningbo city, we are very conscious towards environmental issues and hold the quality and environmental management system certification of ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015.

Why sourcing from Ningbo, China ensures cost-effectiveness, logistical efficiency, and absolute supply chain resilience.
Ningbo is the textile heartland of China. From spinning mills and chemical dye facilities to accessory manufacturers, all raw materials are sourced within a 100-mile radius, dramatically reducing raw material procurement cycles and internal transport costs.
Ningbo-Zhoushan port ranks as the world's busiest in cargo tonnage. This location allows Ningbo Jinmao to secure premier shipping routes, lower freight rates, and offer duty-optimized customs clearance for shipments to North America, the European Union, and Asia-Pacific regions.

We have a professional pattern-making team, with an average of 20 years of experience in the industry, including pattern-makers and sample makers. We specialize in the production of knitwear and lightweight woven garments and can help you with any issues related to pattern-making and sample production. Our sample room can increase the efficiency of producing sales samples and developing new samples.
We offer diverse branding and graphic embellishment methods to customize polyester track jackets for athletic clubs, brand apparel lines, or promotional campaigns.
We eliminate defects through step-by-step verification, real-time quality control gates, and third-party laboratory verification (SGS/BV).
Once the order details are confirmed, we proceed to create a fit sample, which is a prototype garment made according to the customer's specifications. This sample is designed to match the exact measurements, fabric type, and style requested. We provide this sample to the customer for approval, ensuring that the size, pattern, and fit meet their expectations. This stage is crucial in achieving customer satisfaction, as it gives the customer an opportunity to see and feel the product before moving to bulk production.
To confirm the detail of bulk production, we finalize the selection of labdip fabrics, customized prints, embroidery designs, custom tagging, custom outer bags, cardboard inserts, and export carton dimensions to match local retail standards.
Before we begin full-scale production, we create a pre-production sample. This is a prototype made using the final approved fabrics, designs, and specifications. The pre-production sample is essential as it acts as the blueprint for the entire production run. The customer is asked to approve this sample to verify that all details—such as fit, fabric, colors, and patterns—are correct. Only after receiving customer approval on this pre-production sample do we proceed with mass production.
With the pre-production sample confirmed, we begin bulk production. During this stage, our production team carefully follows all specifications to produce the full quantity of garments. We assign a full-time Quality Control (QC) team to monitor each step of the production process, ensuring that each garment meets the highest standards of quality. We offer a variety of fabric technologies, including Print and Embroidery.
