of India's knitwear exports come from Tirupur
years building hoodies for the world
radius — full supply chain, yarn to export
Tirupur is India's largest knitwear export hub — accounting for over 70% of the country's knitwear exports. It isn't a general manufacturing city that happens to make hoodies. It's a city that was built, over 30+ years, specifically around knitwear production.
Klothewala operates its own production unit in Tirupur. When you order hoodies through us, you're accessing that ecosystem — without the friction of dealing with a factory directly. Our Bangalore office handles your communication, sampling coordination, and production oversight. You get one named contact throughout.
MOQ starts at 200 pieces per style. We export to the UK, UAE, USA, Australia, and supply brands domestically across India.

Plenty of cities in India make garments. Very few have the specific combination of inputs, skills, and infrastructure that hoodie manufacturing demands. Tirupur has all of it — and has had it for three decades.
Tirupur supplies hoodies to brands in the UK, EU, USA, and Australia at scale. The infrastructure — specialised knitting machines, brush-raising equipment, zip sourcing, drawstring mills — exists here because demand created it. You're not asking a general factory to figure out a hoodie. You're ordering from a region that has done millions of them.
Every input your hoodie needs — yarn, circular knit fabric, dyeing, brushing, printing, zip hardware, drawcords, woven labels, poly bags — is sourced within the Tirupur cluster. This cuts lead time, reduces cost, and means problems get solved in a day, not a week.
Hoodies are technically demanding: pocket placement, drawstring tunnels, hood construction, zip alignment, cuff and hem ribbing. Tirupur's workforce has built these details into muscle memory over 30+ years of export production. That experience shows up in fewer rejections and tighter inline QC.
Tirupur has direct export connections to the UK, UAE, USA, and Australia. ICD (Inland Container Depot) facilities, freight forwarders, OEKO-TEX compliance labs, and customs handlers all operate within the cluster. Exporting a hoodie order from Tirupur is a well-worn process — not a one-off.
The fabric construction is the single most important decision in a hoodie order. It determines weight, feel, retail price point, and the season it sells into. Here's how each compares.
Smooth face, looped interior — no brushing
Lightweight, breathable, slightly structured
Spring/summer drops, year-round fashion hoodies, layering
D2C brands, fashion labels doing lighter-season drops
Knit base fabric brushed on interior for a soft nap
Warm, premium hand feel, substantial weight
AW collections, premium branded hoodies, corporate gifting
Streetwear brands, sports teams, corporate merchandise
Raw loop on interior — no brushing, natural texture
Structured, slightly firm, excellent shape retention
Oversized fits, drop-shoulder styles, minimalist collections
Fashion-forward labels, brands chasing premium streetwear feel

Managed from our Bangalore office. Manufactured at our Tirupur unit. You deal with one person throughout — they own the whole thing.
Share a reference image, a rough sketch, or a full tech pack. Our Bangalore team translates it into manufacturing language and sends it to our Tirupur unit. You don't need a perfect spec to start.
We produce a sealed sample at our own production unit in Tirupur. You see the actual fabric, construction, fit, and print quality before committing to bulk. Sample turnaround: 10–14 days.
Once you approve the sample, bulk production begins at the same Tirupur unit. Same machines. Same fabric batch. Same workers. No surprises between sample and bulk.
Our Tirupur team runs inline QC during production and a final AQL inspection before packing. Our Bangalore team keeps you updated with photos and milestone confirmations — without you having to ask.
We handle export documentation, freight coordination, and carton marking. Air or sea freight to UK, UAE, USA, Australia, or domestic delivery within India.
Plenty of companies say they manufacture hoodies in India. Fewer are specific about where, and fewer still can tell you why the location makes a difference to your order.
Generic Indian manufacturers may use multiple factories in different cities — no consistency between orders.
Every hoodie order is manufactured at our own Tirupur unit. Same factory, same team, same fabric suppliers every time.
Most cities in India don't have the hoodie-specific supply chain nearby — fabric brushing, zip suppliers, hardware — leading to delays and substitutions.
Tirupur has every input within 30km. Brushed fleece, zip hardware, drawcords, woven labels — all locally sourced, fast to replenish.
Many domestic Indian manufacturers lack export documentation experience and freight connections for international shipments.
Tirupur has exported knitwear to the UK and EU since the late 1980s. Our unit handles export documentation as standard.

Klothewala's minimum order quantity for custom hoodies manufactured at our Tirupur unit is 200 pieces per style. This applies across all fabric types — French terry, brushed fleece, and loopback — and covers all customisation options including custom labels, print, and hardware. The 200-piece MOQ applies per colourway, making it accessible for growing brands without requiring large inventory commitments.
Tirupur accounts for over 70% of India's knitwear exports and has a 30+ year export history specifically in knitwear. For hoodie manufacturing, the advantage is the complete supply chain within a 30km radius — knit fabric mills, dyeing units, brush-raising facilities, zip hardware suppliers, and finishing units are all locally available. This means shorter lead times, faster problem resolution, and a skilled workforce experienced in hoodie construction specifically.
The typical timeline for custom hoodies manufactured at our Tirupur unit is 5–7 weeks from sample approval to dispatch. This includes 10–14 days for sampling, 25–35 days for bulk production, and 5–7 days for QC, packing, and freight preparation. International shipping to UK, UAE, or Australia adds approximately 7–14 days by air or 25–35 days by sea. Your Bangalore account manager keeps you updated at every milestone.
Yes. Klothewala provides full private label services from our Tirupur manufacturing unit: custom woven neck labels, printed care labels, branded hang tags, custom drawcord colours, custom zip pulls, and polybag packaging with your brand markings. All branding elements are available from the 200-piece MOQ. We can source branding components within the Tirupur cluster or work with materials supplied by the buyer.
Tirupur manufacturers — including Klothewala's own production unit — stock and produce hoodie fabrics across a wide GSM range: French terry from 280–320 GSM, brushed fleece from 320–400 GSM, and loopback from 300–360 GSM. Organic cotton French terry is available for sustainability-focused buyers. The right GSM depends on your target market season: lighter weights (280–300 GSM) suit spring/summer drops; heavier weights (350–400 GSM) are standard for AW collections.
