Minku Apparel manufactures custom tracksuits for New York brands from 50 sets per design, covering velour, nylon, technical polyester and retro two-pieces, fully private-labelled and shipped DDP to the US in roughly 5 to 8 days by air. No city has deeper tracksuit roots than New York – from B-boy nylon to Dapper Dan velour to the Brooklyn and Bronx sets of today – and a brand that builds the two-piece properly taps a look the city helped invent.
This page covers how we produce custom tracksuits for the New York market: the fabrics behind the set, matched construction and hardware, decoration and private label, MOQ and dollar pricing, sampling, and duty-paid delivery. A tracksuit is a coordinated two-piece with zips and trims, so sampling and colour-matching decide the quality.
Why the tracksuit fits New York right now
The tracksuit is written into New York’s streetwear DNA. It runs from the velour era uptown to the shell suits of downtown and the tonal sets worn across Brooklyn and the Bronx today. In a city that reads clothing as identity, the two-piece is a statement – a full outfit that signals a crew, a label, a point of view – and it carries authority here that it simply does not everywhere else.
For an NYC brand the set is a high-value hero: it photographs as a complete look, lifts the average order, and puts the customer in head-to-toe branding. In a market this competitive, a distinctive tracksuit – right fabric, right colourway – is the piece that makes a New York label recognisable and drives reorders.
As a specialist custom tracksuit manufacturer, we cut jacket and pant to one specification, fabric and dye lot so the set reads as a true pair, and we hold that match across reorders so it stays consistent as demand grows.
Fabrics and matched construction
Our program spans the fabrics NYC brands ask for. Velour delivers the plush, archive-rooted two-piece the city knows well, nylon and technical polyester give the classic shell hand with a lining, and brushed poly covers a softer everyday set. Each fabric is matched to the silhouette and the season the brand is building for.
Construction is specified on the tech pack – zip, collar, panel layout, piping, cuff and hem, pocket build – and produced to it. Both pieces are cut from one lot for an exact match, and the pant is graded to work with the jacket across the size run. Every set is proven on a pre-production sample: you check the colour match, fit and zip action in New York before we cut bulk.
Reading the New York tracksuit aesthetic
New York runs both loud and tonal, and both work when executed well. Some sets lean bold – contrast panels, embroidered wordmarks, statement colour – while others go clean and monochrome. What the city does not forgive is a cheap make. We steer brands toward the fabrics, trims and branding that read as authentic to NYC, so the set lands with people who know exactly what a real tracksuit should feel like.
Because we already manufacture across this range, a New York founder gets a first sample that is closer to the vision and a shorter development cycle, whether the brief is archive velour or a modern tonal shell.
Decoration, private label and dollar pricing
Every finish runs in-house – embroidery, screen print, DTG and heat transfer, woven and rubberised patches, contrast trim – all coordinated across the two pieces. Full private label is standard on both, from custom labels and tags to inner branding, custom zip pullers at volume, hang tags and packaging, so the sample you approve is retail-ready.
Minimum order is around 50 sets per design and colorway, quoted in US dollars. A tracksuit is two constructed garments with hardware, so it sits at the higher end in absolute price, but retails as a premium set with per-set cost falling into reorders. See MOQ and pricing and the full fabric range for detail.
DDP delivery to New York, duty handled
Your tracksuits ship DDP, so we clear US customs, cover duty, and deliver to your New York address with nothing owed on arrival. Air freight runs about 5 to 8 days from dispatch, fast enough for a tight drop calendar, and sea covers larger reorders. To start a set, get a quote with your specs and quantities, or request a sample first.

Why New York brands manufacture the set overseas
A tracksuit is component-heavy – two graded patterns, quality zips and hardware, linings, trims, matched fabric and coordinated decoration. Sourcing that in New York at a 50-set minimum is scarce and expensive, which keeps a proper set out of reach for most emerging labels. Manufacturing with Minku consolidates fabric, cutting, sewing, hardware, decoration and private label under one roof and one point of accountability, so a small NYC brand can put a premium two-piece into a fiercely competitive market with the consistency of a much larger house while keeping full creative control through the tech pack and approved sample.
