Custom hoodie manufacturer producing cut and sew hoodies for clothing brands.

Custom Hunting Apparel Manufacturers Built Around How You Hunt

A hunter can sit for six hours in freezing wind, then hike two miles out with a pack, and the same clothing has to stay quiet, keep them warm, shed rain, and hide them from an animal that sees blue better than they do. That is a harder brief than most outdoor apparel ever gets.

Mega Apparel works with hunting brands, outfitters, and retailers as a hunting clothing supplier that builds to the field rather than the catalog. We make custom hunting clothing from base layers to waterproof shells, in your camo or ours, under your label. We have been manufacturing since 2012; more than 2,000 clients have run production through our factory, and minimums start at 50 pieces per style.

Custom Hunting Apparel From Base Layer to
Outer Shell

Every piece is built to your spec and pattern. Nothing here is a blank with a camo print added.

Waterproof Hunting Jackets

Two-layer or three-layer shells with a waterproof, breathable membrane, fully taped seams, pit zips for venting, and a hood that turns with the head.

Hunting Pants and Bibs

Articulated knees, gusseted crotch, knee pad pockets, and long leg zips so boots stay on. Bibs add a drop seat and high back for treestand cold.

Soft Shell Jackets and Pants

Stretch woven with a brushed or fleece-backed face. Quiet, wind-resistant, and water-repellent, the everyday layer for active hunts.

Insulated Jackets and Vests

Synthetic or down insulation in a quilted face fabric. Synthetic keeps insulating when damp; down gives more warmth for its weight.

Fleece Mid Layers

Grid fleece, high-loft fleece, and quarter-zip pullovers that trap heat and stay silent on the stand.

Base Layers

Merino wool and polyester base layers in light, mid, and heavy weights, with flatlock seams and antimicrobial finishes.

Hunting Hoodies and Quarter Zips

Performance and cotton blend hoodies in camo or solid colors, used as lightweight layers and as brand and lodge merchandise.

Blaze Orange Vests, Jackets, and Caps

Solid or patterned fluorescent orange and fluorescent pink garments, sized to the areas set out in state hunting regulations.

Rain Gear

Packable waterproof jackets and pants for wet days and early-season hunts, with quiet-face fabrics rather than crinkly nylon.

Hunting Hats, Gloves, and Gaiters

Caps, beanies, face masks, neck gaiters, and gloves are made from the same fabric and pattern, so a full kit ships together.

Women's and Youth Hunting Clothing

Women's styles are cut on their own pattern rather than resized from men's. Youth sizes follow US safety rules for children's apparel, including limits on hood and neck drawstrings.

The Layering System We Build

Hunters dress in layers so they can add and remove warmth as the day changes. Each layer has a different job, and the fabric follows from the job.

Layer Job What we use
Base layer Move sweat off the skin. Merino wool or polyester knit, 150 to 250 GSM
Mid-layer Trap warm air. Grid fleece, high-loft fleece, quarter zips
Insulation Hold heat while sitting still. Synthetic or down fill in a quiet shell
Outer shell Block wind and rain. Soft shell or waterproof breathable membrane with taped seams

Construction Details Hunters Notice

  • Articulated knees and gusseted crotch for climbing into stands and over fallen timber.
  • Knee pad pockets and reinforced seat panels for kneeling and sitting on wet ground.
  • Rear game bag in vests and jackets, lined so it can be wiped out.
  • Chest and hand pockets placed so they stay reachable under a binocular harness or a safety harness.
  • Pit zips and two-way front zips for venting on the walk-in.
  • Long side leg zips on pants and bibs, so they go on over boots.
  • YKK zippers with quiet cord pulls rather than metal tabs.
  • Bar tacks at every pocket corner and stress point.

Printing Camo and Branding Without Breaking Concealment

Decoration on hunting clothing has one rule that does not apply anywhere else. It must not undo the concealment the garment was built for.

  • Camo on polyester knits such as base layers, fleece, and hoodies is applied by dye sublimation, which bonds into the fiber and adds no stiffness or noise.
  • Camo on nylon and woven shells is printed onto the fabric typically before it is laminated or coated, since standard sublimation is generally unsuitable for conventional nylon shell fabrics.
  • Embroidery is done in matte, tonal thread. Shiny polyester thread catches light and stands out on a camo chest.
  • Logos are kept small and low contrast on concealment garments and bright where they belong, on blaze orange and lodge merchandise.
  • Rubber and woven patches in muted colors suit caps and packs.

Private Label, Minimums, and Lead Times

Every order ships under your brand, with your neck labels, hang tags, care labels, and packaging. Care and content labels carry fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions.

  • Minimum of 50 pieces per style per color or pattern.
  • Sampling in 15 to 20 business days from an approved tech pack.
  • Bulk production in 20 to 25 business days after sample approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for custom hunting clothing?

50 pieces per style per color or pattern. Sizes can be mixed within that number.

Can you print Realtree or Mossy Oak camo on my clothing?

Yes, once you hold the license. The license belongs to your brand, and we manufacture on your behalf under it. We do not print licensed patterns without that documentation. If licensing does not suit you, we can create an original camo pattern that your brand owns.

Will your blaze orange vests be legal in my state?

We build to the square inch figure you specify and measure it across every size. Requirements vary by state, from 144 square inches in Alabama to 400 in Washington, and some states do not accept patterned orange. Rules change, so hunters should always check their own state's current regulations.

How waterproof are your hunting jackets?

Waterproof shells are built with a breathable membrane and fully taped seams, typically rated between 10,000 and 20,000 mm hydrostatic head depending on the fabric you choose. We quote ratings from the fabric test reports.

Do you remove UV brighteners from hunting fabric?

On request, we source fabric and finish garments without optical brighteners and check them under UV light before packing. Customers should also wash hunting clothing in detergent without brighteners, since many standard detergents contain them.

Does scent control clothing really work?

Antimicrobial finishes reduce the bacteria that cause body odor, which is useful on a long hunt. No fabric removes human scent completely, so we do not make that claim on your behalf.

When should I place my order for the hunting season?

Plan from your shelf date backwards. Sampling takes 10 to 15 business days, and bulk takes 15 to 20 business days after approval, before freight. Brands showing at the January trade shows usually approve samples the previous fall.

Do you make women's and youth hunting clothing?

Yes. Women's styles are cut on their own pattern, and youth sizes follow US safety rules for children's apparel.
