How To Start a Fitness Clothing Line | Top Tips & Mistakes I Made

[@TORRIE_B]

Finally someone who is actually willing to provide truthful and informative information that people can use! A lot of people are so stingy on helping other people it’s ridiculous. Thank you so much for this Gabe! Nice work I know your new stuff is going to be great!

Brief Summary Brand Pillars 1. What problem you want to solve (see a gap in a market) 2. Who’s your target audience (ideal person to buy this item, age range, hobby (golf, horse riding)- give them a name) 3. What’s your elevator pitch (what’s your clothing about - a nutshell what your business about) 4. What word describes your brand best (sporty, retro) Do not rush, take couple of days if you need to. 1. Apparel or Clothing (apparel branding on someone clothing, clothing branding on own creation) 2. Put everything in a scrap book or a single document for you to keep track where you have been to (texture, style, logo, everything) Do not rush. It’s ok if you don’t have a logo yet. Do not spent so long in logo. Product branding and quality does the branding, not the logo. Create your master piece. - you don’t have to be good at drawing (just see other people’s template, or ask people to do it) - ask that type of person about their opinion (can go to fivr etc) Manufacturing - tech pack and spec sheet - tech pack: details of your product showing inner drawings (the stictch, placement of logo) - spec sheet: measurement need to create product (chest, shoulder, pocket, length) - put money aside for people to do for you, if necessary - fabric: go online to fabric shop, can pick what material you want. Understand what kind of fabric does. (He found on Alibaba and Clothing Conventions in London) 7 tips to stop you from getting burnt 1. Go to Alibaba and see, create a shortlist, tell them you have measurements, design and send them. (You will receive bunch of it) 2. What’s your MOQ (Minimum Order Quantify) 3. Show as much detail as possible 4. If they ask for money, block them 5. If they ask for more detail 6. Ask to see actual product picture (see if they can give you the same thing as their picture) 7. Video call them in WhatsApp (see their office or workplace environment) Then ask for sample prices (ask them to give you sample product before they ask you to sign on bulk order)

I love that you took the time to do this

I was literally growing in frustration of how I couldn’t find a video that gave me a proper insight into creating your own fashion label! YOUR VIDEO IS SO HELPFUL! Argh! Thank you so much!! X

[@pompadourprince2606]

incredible info. I wrote up a business plan a few months ago and have been following it well. But every now and then I like to go to youtube and see where everyone else is at and what they have to say about these things. It keeps my mind fresh and motivated. Everything I have on my business plan is something you have said. It's nice knowing that I have the same ideas, mindset, and experience as someone so much further than me. You have also offered up some information that I did not know of yet so there is a lot of value in this video for me. Awesome work, awesome character, and awesome attitude. Thanks for an incredible video. I hope someone whos scared of the industry or skeptical of who to listen to reads my comment and gets reassured that this is great information.

2 years later... why the hell I screenshot that? So true!

[@victormanuelramirez2502]

Asking friends and family for their opinion is by far the worst thing you can do in regards to a start up.

[@christianchinb9363]

This information is invaluable, but I would also like to add as well QC and if can get a garment tech to inspect the garment for finer details. I bought your stuff recently and it's nice but a few things I noticed are below and could be good things to check for the next line. - threads need to be cut at end of line -overlock tension is causing purls on WB, also the blade needs to ensure a clean finish otherwise you get bulking. If you can get grown up waistbands, you get a cleaner lock on bulky jerseys. General sewing tension especially in sportswear for longevity. Best of luck bro, big fan of the channel

[@hallildiallo6781]

Hi there...I saw your reply and I can see that you know what u talking about..IAM planning to start a clothing line soon, would be great if you have an IG account or fcb so I can learn more about it...Thanks and great critics

[@adamgrierson8082]

First time seeing your channel fantastic information and insight! Watched many other videos on this topic that were pretty bad but this was perfect much appreciated!

[@itsnadineh]

This is by far the most helpful and in detail video on KZbin. Thank you so much! :)

[@OHHEYTAJ]

The elevator pitch note !!!! Loved that

[@David-wg5yp]

Insightful video man, interesting to see your journey involving design and it's process as I'm currently studying Product design at uni. Respect.

[@GabrielSeyOfficial]

Thanks man

[@nobukhosidube9610]

Thank you so much Gabe .. we are in that process and this was great help

[@sipparadoxtv5329]

Keep up the great work Gabriel. Your videos have helped me get back in the gym and stay there. Thanks bruv 🙏🏼

[@olegdemidov9148]

This is super on point!! Gave me great insight for my line im working on. And the alibaba portion was so on point!!! Describes my exact scenarios with alibaba

[@nrf4741]

I appreciate this video ! It gave me a lot of insight

[@imosiutsalo5759]

I love the sense of humor and how informative the video was. Most def a thumbs up

[@christianchinb9363]

Oh and always get shipment samples in you mid largest and smallest size to check your grading.

[@macemace3194]

Thank you Gabriel. That is such a selfless gestures for all those who want to start a company!

[@ShaneMarrLifts]

I honestly just want to make my own gym wear for me 😅

[@mozzy2llc275]

thank you for this valuable information.

[@bozalini]

You should consider a form fitting athletic line.

[@rollinontwentytwos]

This has been really helpful... Im. At the stage of the tech packs.. Its so jarring.. Like every detail is needed... Funny video too... Need to watch the follow ups

[@akhibrandrb8893]

You should’ve emphasized on your website and how you sell. That’d be a great video!

[@pur3wxlftv125]

BRO Thanks! I am in the process of starting a clothing line myself and I could never find the right advice or the correct ways to go by doing so. This video has helped a lot, even though I live in America and the manufacturing process may be a tiny bit different idk but still. Also, if you could make some vids on how to start up your own online personal training in detail like you did this video, that would surely help ya boi out. Thanks again mai guy!!!

Hey great video 👌🏽. One question I have is would you say it’s better to get your trademark and legal side of things sorted before or after making sales as you wouldn’t want to trademark an idea that the market doesn’t want??

great video Gabriel, thank you for sharing your experiences. wishing you all the success on your new clothing line

[@sandramacedo2139]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! Great content and very funny to watch at the same time. keep up and bring more videos like this!

[@MicWars]

This is a great series, so useful. The tech/spec pack sounds like a lot of work but probably what will set your brand apart from the rest. Apparel vs clothing line.. thinking time 🤔

[@ErasmusTandF]

really informative video, that is some advice that can save people a lot of time and money. really helpful for people looking to start up in the industry.

[@lolitadan5432]

I use something called Sewport too! More niche than Alibaba :)

[@sunshinedesignsandmore4074]

Your video helps and makes sense. I am looking searching, seeking, and inquiring to start my own fitness clothing brand. I've had bad experiences with Alibaba. If you can help or just point me in the right directions this would be greatly appreciated.

[@dennis12345674]

this series is gonna be lit 🤩

[@nicalove77]

😂😂😂 man I just enjoyed watching your whole video…. Thank you so much I laughed because I go through that when contacting suppliers in China for one sample how many pcs do you want 😂 I’m like bro chill let’s talk about the sample first. I have bad luck at this point I haven’t find a good supplier I don’t know anything about a tech pack can I do that myself or do I need to hired someone else to make me a tech pack… thank you brother…

[@Iamaaliyahndlovu]

You are funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this video has been very educational and entertaining. Thank you

[@adamebanks3837]

In sharing it all don't you worry that you help your competitors

[@GabrielSeyOfficial]

Not really... That's like saying, giving someone a car manual will help them build a Porsche. The work, creativity and actual design still needs to happen. If I show my exact designs and measurements, now that's a different situation all together.

[@dilxoxo397]

Hi Gabriel, maybe a weird question.. but still going to ask hopefully you can help me. I’m searching for Nylon Spandex material (gymwear for woman) I searched on google and I don’t know where to start.. literally I have no any idea.. a lot of sites/links.. a friend of my he told me to look for fabrics of Portugal but at the same time I don’t know where.. I already got my sketches but do I have to find the fabric first or should I go to the Manufacturer and decided them about the fabric?

[@PHAm357]

Hey Man... I’m very inspired by your video due to me actually having my very own business in the Fitness clothing brand. I would like to connect and actually figure out the what, who, where, why, and how to getting my brand out there! I added you on IG. Thank you for this video

[@Fahama]

I'm also on the initial stages of my sportswear brand, can you suggest where can I get a supplier for my garments. I'll first need custom samples with my own logo and branding on the product. Thanks

[@GabrielSeyOfficial]

Alibaba.com

[@Fahama]

@@GabrielSeyOfficial Any other site other than Alibaba? Almost none of them agree to make it according to my own designs :(

[@Fahama]

They also want me to pay for everything including samples, shipping and possible taxes.

[@Fahama]

Found this website sportsactiva. They agreed to send me custom samples and didn't even ask for payment. Lets see if this is what I have been looking for

I heard you speak about "whats app". I'm not familiar with that so when a manufacturer told me to communicate with them through that app I wasn't so sure if they could be trusted. This app is safe to use when dealing with over seas companies??
