21 YEARS MANUFACTURING CUSTOM JACKETS IN DONGGUAN, CHINA
A source factory built on hands-on manufacturing experience — producing custom jackets and apparel for brands across more than 50 countries since 2005.
WHO RACE APPAREL IS — A CUSTOM JACKET MANUFACTURER CHINA RELIES ON
Race Apparel has been manufacturing jackets in Humen Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province since 2005 — 21 years of production in one of the world’s most established garment manufacturing centers. Our primary focus is jacket manufacturing across fashion, casual, outdoor, and fully custom-designed styles. That specialism is not incidental — every capability we’ve built over two decades, from pattern development through bulk production management, has been developed around jacket construction specifically.
Humen Town is not a generic factory location. It sits within Dongguan City, one of China’s most concentrated apparel manufacturing hubs, with deep infrastructure in fabric sourcing, hardware supply, skilled labor, and export logistics. Being based here means our material sourcing network, our production contractors, and our logistics partners are within the same ecosystem — which keeps lead times tight and supply chain disruptions manageable in a way that factories in more isolated locations can’t match.
Beyond jackets, we produce hoodies, t-shirts, shorts, dresses, and everyday garment categories for brands who want to consolidate their apparel sourcing with a single reliable manufacturer. One of our clearest operational advantages is our approach to order size — we work with no minimum order quantity, which means emerging brands placing their first production run and established companies running high-volume seasonal programs are served through the same production process. Today our finished products have reached clients in more than 50 countries across Europe, North America, and beyond.
Wang Pengfei — Founder, Race Apparel. 21+ years in garment manufacturing.
Founded by Wang Pengfei — Built From the Production Floor Up
Race Apparel was founded by Wang Pengfei, who began his career working directly on the production floor — not in a management office. That starting point matters. His hands-on experience in jacket construction, fabric selection, and manufacturing process management gives him an understanding of production quality that comes from building garments personally, not from reviewing reports about them. When a client raises a construction question, the answer comes from someone who has done the work.
Wang Pengfei established Race Apparel with a specific goal: to build a factory that international clients could rely on for consistent quality and straightforward cooperation. That goal shaped every operational decision from the beginning — the investment in pattern development capability so clients don't need a separate tech pack service, the no-MOQ policy so emerging brands aren't turned away at the inquiry stage, and the focus on long-term client relationships over one-off production transactions.
Under his leadership, Race Apparel has grown steadily into a factory serving clients across Europe, North America, and more than 50 countries globally. The philosophy hasn't changed since the factory opened in 2005: focus on quality, build trust through honest cooperation, and grow together with partners who share a long-term view of the relationship.
WHAT OUR FACTORY DOES — END TO END
Pattern Development
In-house pattern development from client tech packs, reference garments, or design briefs. We grade patterns across your full size run before the first sample is cut — no outsourcing to a third-party pattern house.
Sampling
Pre-production samples built to your full specification — same materials, same construction, same branding as your bulk order. Not a mock-up. Sample ready in approximately 7 days from approved tech pack.
Material Sourcing
Located in Dongguan's garment manufacturing ecosystem, our sourcing network covers woven and knit fabrics, outerwear shells, lining materials, hardware, and trim. We source to your spec — not to whatever is in our stock room.
Bulk Production
Full bulk manufacturing from approved sample — fashion jackets, casual jackets, outdoor jackets, custom styles, hoodies, t-shirts, dresses, and everyday garment categories. No minimum order quantity across all categories.
THE RACE APPAREL ADVANTAGE
WHY BRANDS IN 50+ COUNTRIES CHOOSE RACE APPAREL
21 Years of Jacket Construction Knowledge: Jacket manufacturing is more technically demanding than most apparel categories — multi-panel construction, outerwear shell sourcing, hardware integration, lining attachment, and structured collar builds all require production knowledge that a general garment factory doesn’t carry at depth. Race Apparel has been building jackets specifically since 2005. The pattern developers, production supervisors, and QC team on your order have spent their careers on jacket construction. That concentration of experience is the practical difference between a factory that can produce a jacket and one that produces it correctly the first time.
No Minimum Order Quantity: Our no-MOQ policy is an operational commitment, not a marketing line. A brand placing its first 10-unit sample order goes through the same production process — same pattern development, same material sourcing, same QC checkpoint system — as a brand running a 2,000-unit seasonal program. We operate this way because Wang Pengfei built the factory on the principle that emerging brands deserve access to the same manufacturing quality as established ones. Some of our longest-running client relationships started with a single jacket sample.
Full Development Support From Day One: Most factories want a finalized tech pack before they’ll engage. Race Apparel supports clients from the early development stage — if you have a design concept, a reference garment, or a sketch rather than a completed technical document, our pattern team can work from that starting point. We’ve built our development capability specifically to support brands who are creating new styles rather than just reordering existing ones.
Certified Factory, Documented Process: Race Apparel holds ISO9001 quality management certification, SMETA ethical trade audit with CAPR corrective action verification, CE product compliance certification, and Lenzing fiber certification. Every certificate is available for download on our certifications page — no request form required. Learn more about our certifications →
Direct Factory, No Middlemen: When you contact Race Apparel, you are contacting the factory. There is no trading company, no sourcing agent, and no intermediary adding margin between your order and the production floor. The account manager you speak with works in the same building as the pattern team and the production supervisors. Questions get answered by the people doing the work, not relayed through a third party who visited the factory.
We respond within 1 business day. Factory-direct — no agents, no middlemen.

Does Race Apparel have a minimum order quantity?
No. We operate with no minimum order quantity across all production categories — jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, and all other garment types we produce. A single sample and a 2,000-unit bulk order go through the same production and QC process. Our no-MOQ policy reflects our founding principle that brands at every stage of growth deserve access to the same manufacturing quality.

What types of jackets does Race Apparel manufacture?
Our core jacket categories are fashion jackets, casual jackets, outdoor and performance jackets, and fully custom-designed styles built from client tech packs or developed from brief. We’ve been building jackets since 2005 and our production capability covers the full construction range — from lightweight unlined fashion shells through structured outerwear with complex lining, hardware, and embellishment builds. Beyond jackets, we also produce hoodies, t-shirts, shorts, dresses, and everyday apparel for brands consolidating their sourcing.
How long has Race Apparel been manufacturing?
Race Apparel was founded in 2005 by Wang Pengfei and has been in continuous operation for 21 years. Wang Pengfei started his career working directly on the production floor before establishing the factory, which means the experience behind Race Apparel’s manufacturing process is hands-on from the ground up — not built on management theory. That production-floor foundation shapes how we approach quality, client communication, and problem-solving on complex orders.
Which countries does Race Apparel ship to?
We currently ship finished products to clients in more than 50 countries across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and beyond. Our logistics setup covers sea freight for large bulk orders, air freight for time-sensitive programs, and express courier for samples and smaller runs.
