As Black Friday approaches each year, global consumer demand surges across every major e-commerce platform. For many apparel brands — especially in the fast-moving world of streetwear — the biggest shopping event of the year becomes a crucial moment to boost sales, launch new products, and accelerate brand exposure.

For Hangzhou Aiqi Clothing Technology Co., Ltd., a professional streetwear factory specializing in custom hoodies, T-shirts, sweatpants, and techwear, Black Friday is not just a retail event. It is a turning point that significantly influences our production planning, order volume, and factory activities.

Below, we share how Black Friday affects our operations and how we support our clients through this busy period.

1. Black Friday Drives Streetwear Brands to Speed Up Production

As a streetwear factory, we begin feeling the impact of Black Friday months earlier. Customers know that peak season requires early preparation, so from September onward, we see:

• A sharp increase in pre-Black Friday orders

• Brands submitting new designs for holiday collections

• Rising demand for oversized hoodies, custom T-shirts, tracksuits, and winter streetwear

• Requests for faster sampling and shorter turnaround times

Many international and online brands push for early mass production to ensure they have enough inventory for November sales.

This surge leads to a full production schedule, meaning every department — from pattern making to printing to final QC — operates at high capacity.

🧵 To support customers, Aiqi Clothing extends production hours, increases QC checkpoints, and enhances workflow efficiency to ensure stable delivery.

2. Increased On-Site Factory Visits and Inspections

Black Friday is a crucial selling season for brands, so many customers want to ensure product quality before launching large holiday promotions.

During this period, our streetwear factory receives:

• Buyers visiting to inspect fabric, stitching, and final garment quality

• Influencers and brand owners are shooting factory tour videos for marketing

• Design teams are coming to finalize colorways and branding details

• Overseas clients who want to record content for “behind-the-scenes manufacturing” promotion

These visits allow customers to build trust with their audience. Many brands film:

• “How my brand’s hoodies are made.”

• “Inside our streetwear factory in China.”

• “Manufacturing our Black Friday restock”

This content helps brands increase transparency and boost credibility — especially in the streetwear community, where authenticity is everything.

🎥 Aiqi Clothing welcomes customer visits year-round and provides support for filming, photography, and promotional material creation.

3. Content Creation Becomes a Key Part of the Season

Short-form video platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels play a major role in modern marketing. Because of this, many brands use the Black Friday season to release factory-related content to build excitement.

During this period, our factory often helps customers:

• Capture videos of embroidery machines running

• Record the screen printing process

• Photograph mass production lines

• Film quality control procedures and packaging scenes

These visuals support their Black Friday marketing campaigns and help consumers understand:

• How products are made

• Why high-quality custom streetwear costs more

• What makes a manufacturer trustworthy

This transparency strengthens brand loyalty and boosts conversion rates during the sales season.

4. A Busier but More Meaningful Production Cycle

Although Black Friday creates pressure on production timelines, it is also one of the most meaningful periods for our streetwear factory.

It is during this time that:

• We help brands grow their annual revenue

• Newly founded labels see their first big sales breakthrough

• Returning clients expand their collections

• International partners deepen long-term cooperation with us

The busy season reminds us why we do what we do:
supporting global streetwear brands with high-quality, fully customized products.

5. How Aiqi Clothing Prepares for the Black Friday Rush

To maintain stability and reliability, we take several measures every year:

✔ Strong production planning

Allocated production lines for Black Friday orders ensure smooth workflow.

✔ Fast and accurate sampling

We accelerate sample production while maintaining top quality.

✔ Flexible scheduling

We expand working hours and reinforce staffing when needed.

✔ Strict quality control

QC teams triple-check stitching, print quality, fabric consistency, and packaging.

✔ Open doors for customer visits

Brands can inspect, film, and verify production whenever they need.

For customers preparing Black Friday collections, we always recommend starting production early (August–October) to avoid shipping delays or overbooked schedules.

Conclusion: Black Friday Strengthens Our Role as a Professional Streetwear Factory

The arrival of Black Friday brings pressure, excitement, and opportunity. It challenges us to enhance our efficiency while continuing to deliver top-quality custom streetwear products.
