A Chinese factory makes Bape boxers for $6.25 and $18 jackets. Yantai Cherry Group also supplies New Balance and Wrangler, handles full washing and distressing, and works with tiny order quantities. The quality is solid despite the low cost.
I met the factory behind some key Bape products at Fashion World Tokyo. She showed me how they made this jacket for $18 a piece and these boxers for only $6.25. Yantai Cherry Group is a China-based manufacturer working alongside brands like New Balance and Wrangler, and they're actually really good at making denim. I'm more biased towards Japanese denim, but to be honest, their product is really beautiful and very affordable. They're properly set up to do any kind of washing or distressing you might be looking for, and they're prepared to take on clients at a very low quantity. If you're looking for other suppliers like this, I listed a bunch of world-class factories on my Patreon. Link is in bio.
