A good equestrian apparel manufacturer can show how it would build your specific garment. For riding breeches, that might mean placing the silicone grip around your pattern and checking the sample in a seated riding position. For a show jacket, it means allowing enough shoulder reach while keeping the lapels and hem in place.

How we selected the eight suppliers
This shortlist covers eight suppliers worth evaluating if you are building a private-label riding apparel line for the U.S. market. EZ Equestrian is our first pick for developing riding breeches, tops and jackets under one label. Based in Dongguan, China, we offer OEM, ODM and private-label development with a minimum of 100 pieces per style per color. Custom sample development takes three weeks after the design, materials and key details are confirmed.
We prioritized suppliers that publicly describe equestrian garment development, offer made-to-order production or private-label services, and give buyers a way to discuss sampling or technical specifications. The order reflects our editorial judgment of their fit for a U.S. brand building a riding collection. The shortlist includes overseas factories and manufacturing partners. Confirm the actual production site when you request a quote.
Editorial disclosure. I work for EZ Equestrian, the publisher of this guide. Our first position is our own recommendation. The other profiles summarize what the companies publicly describe. Commercial terms and suitability should be confirmed against your project.

1. EZ Equestrian
Best fit on this list for a coordinated private-label riding collection. Founded in 2008, EZ Equestrian develops custom riding breeches, riding tops and jackets for brands, clubs, riding schools and distributors. Bring a tech pack for OEM development, or bring a product brief and reference garments if the fit, materials and construction still need to be developed.
We start by agreeing how the garment should work on the rider. On a pair of breeches, that can mean specifying fabric stretch and recovery, waistband fit, and full-seat or knee-patch grip on the same sample. On a matching riding top, it may mean checking arm reach and whether the hem stays in place when the rider leans forward. We use the approved sample and agreed specifications as the reference for bulk production.
The 100-piece minimum applies separately to each style and color. One breeches style in black and navy starts at 200 pieces, with 100 per color. Send your size breakdown with the brief so we can confirm it. Allow a separate window for sample shipping, review, revisions and bulk production.
2. Run Equestrian
Run Equestrian lists OEM and ODM services for breeches, jodhpurs, riding shirts and show jackets. Its range is a reason to shortlist it if you plan to develop several competition pieces together, such as breeches and a show shirt. Its published contact location is Guangzhou.
Ask before sampling. Request the location where your styles would be made and a garment sample with the same type of grip or tailoring you plan to order. For a coordinated set, ask how fabric and trim colors will be approved across styles.
3. REINFORM
REINFORM, based in Hangzhou, offers private-label and OEM development for riding breeches, tights, base layers, show shirts and equestrian outerwear. Its service information describes pattern and technical specification development, which makes it relevant when your reference garment needs changes to the rise, length or size range.
Ask before sampling. Agree what pattern work, grading and revisions the development quote covers. If you expect to reuse the pattern for a later collection, confirm ownership and access in writing.
4. Level Up Textiles
Level Up Textiles describes a private-label operation in Kanpur, India, that works with equestrian brands in the U.S., UK and Europe. It lists breeches, riding tights and base layers, including breeches with full-seat or knee grip. Consider it for a bottoms-led training range with a matching technical top.
Ask before sampling. If you plan a breeches style and a pull-on tight, ask for a separate fabric recommendation for each. Specify how you will compare fit, recovery and opacity in the intended colors.
5. ClothesEquestrian (Jinjiang Junqi)
Jinjiang Junqi, which markets its equestrian range as ClothesEquestrian, lists OEM and ODM production in Fujian, China, and identifies the U.S. among its markets. Its catalog includes silicone-grip breeches, show shirts and competition jackets.
Ask before sampling. If the grip is a defining detail, ask how the supplier records grip coverage and position against the pattern. Review a sample with your planned base fabric and grip application together, including after the proposed care process.
6. Terra+ Manufacturing
Terra+ describes bespoke equestrian development for brands, teams and event organizers. It lists breeches, competition shirts, show jackets and gilets, and uses a global manufacturing network. Consider it if your project calls for several coordinated pieces and you are evaluating a partner that can manage development and production across its network.
Ask before sampling. Identify the factory and country of origin for each garment. Confirm which company is responsible for sample approval, bulk quality checks and resolving differences from the approved sample.
7. Pair Fashion
Pair Fashion is a Dongguan sportswear supplier that lists breeches, riding tops, competition clothing and jackets within its equestrian offering. It is a candidate for a brand that already sells activewear and wants to add a small riding range.
Ask before sampling. Request a riding-specific sample that shows how the pattern works in the saddle. On breeches, look at knee flexion, waistband position, inseam bulk and any grip zones in your specification.
8. Blackthorn World
Blackthorn World lists made-to-order equestrian apparel within its wider sportswear and teamwear business. It identifies its factory in Sialkot, Pakistan, and an office in Maryland. Consider it if your brief combines riding garments with related team or club apparel.
Ask before sampling. Confirm which riding styles the production team can sample for your order. Ask who will handle fit approval and whether the same facility will make the approved sample and the bulk run.
How to compare quotes on the same basis
Send the same brief to each shortlisted supplier. A clear brief includes the garment, target rider, size range, colors, quantities per style and color, branding details, delivery destination and date needed. Use the replies to compare four things.
If you are launching one hero product, start with the supplier that can show you the most relevant sample. If you need a coordinated set, ask how the supplier would match fit, colors and trims across garments.
- Order minimum. Ask whether it applies per style, per color or across the whole order. Have the supplier price your actual size and color breakdown.
- Sample approval. Separate the first sample, revision rounds, shipping and approval date. Agree what you will check in riding posture, and keep a record of approved fabric, measurements and trims.
- Bulk consistency. Ask who will verify measurements, grip placement, sewing and labeling against the approved sample. For a reorder, ask how the approved specifications and materials will be tracked.
- Delivery terms. Compare quotes against the same destination and delivery terms. Confirm which party handles freight and import charges, and establish where each garment will be made.
Frequently asked questions
Which equestrian apparel manufacturer should a U.S. brand shortlist first?
If you want one manufacturer to develop custom breeches, tops and jackets under your label, EZ Equestrian is our first recommendation. We produce in Dongguan, China, and offer OEM, ODM and private-label development from 100 pieces per style per color. Use your product brief and sample to decide whether the fit and finish work for your line.
Are these all U.S.-based equestrian clothing factories?
The shortlist is for buyers in the United States and includes overseas factories and a manufacturing network. If domestic production is a condition of your order, ask for the factory address and origin documentation for each style before ordering.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM for riding apparel?
OEM starts from your garment specification, such as a tech pack with measurements, fabric requirements and construction details. ODM includes more product development from your brief or reference. In both cases, agree the sample approval process and who owns the resulting patterns and files.
How long does a custom equestrian apparel sample take?
At EZ Equestrian, custom sample development takes three weeks once the design, materials and key details are confirmed. Ask separately about shipping, time for revisions and the bulk schedule so you can plan your launch date.
