Sock manufacturer in Bangladesh
Gauge and yarn — the two specs that decide fit, durability and feel underfoot.

Overview
Crew, ankle and athletic socks built on ribbed-cuff knit construction, where yarn blend and knitting gauge decide fit, durability and how the sock holds its shape wash after wash. A typical quality athletic sock runs roughly 75 to 85% cotton with the balance in nylon and elastane — a genuinely 100% cotton sock will not stay up, since the stretch components are engineering for fit, not impurities to be minimised. Hand-linked toes are the single clearest quality tell in the category: they require a separate operation, or premium machines that close the toe automatically, and cost a few extra cents per pair, which is exactly why cheap programmes skip them. MOQ here runs higher than most categories — circular knitting machines are set up per style-colour combination, and that setup cost is only efficient at volume well above cut-and-sew garment thresholds.
What's actually in the spec.
There's no honest single number to publish here.
Socks pricing varies too much by leather grade, hardware and volume for a general range to mean anything. Here's what actually makes up the FOB price, so you can read a quote line by line instead of taking a number on faith.
| Cost component | Share of FOB | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | 50–65% | Yarn, knitting or weaving, dyeing, finishing |
| Trims & accessories | 5–12% | Labels, zips, buttons, thread, elastic, packaging |
| CM (cut & make) | 15–25% | Cutting, sewing, finishing, factory overhead |
| Wash / print / embroidery | 0–15% | Optional decoration — adds up fast |
| Factory margin & compliance | 8–12% | Audits, certifications, testing |
1,000+ pairs per style — higher than most categories due to knitting-machine setup
8–12 weeks from approved tech pack to ex-factory
