Long Sleeve T-Shirts Sewn in Bangladesh for Canadian Brands and Workwear Buyers
From our Bangladesh sewing base, Siatex produces this plain long sleeve style for buyers in Canada, and also ships to the USA, the UK, Germany and Australia. Workwear firms, promotional distributors and clothing labels all order the same dependable pattern.
Promotional buyers in Brazil regularly add the rust shade to staff clothing programmes, since the colour hides everyday marks well. Retail labels in France take the identical pattern as a plain base for seasonal in store ranges.
Pictured here is a rust coloured long sleeve t-shirt cut with a classic crew neck. A ribbed band finishes the neckline, sleeves reach the wrist and close with ribbed cuffs, and the lower edge runs straight across the body.
Working as a manufacturer, supplier, wholesaler and exporter, we build every order around the measurements a buyer sends us. Cuff depth, sleeve length and body fit are agreed on a sewn sample before any bulk cloth is cut.
Main options on this pattern:
- Classic crew neck closed with a ribbed band
- Sleeves running full length to the wrist
- Ribbed cuffs sewn at both sleeve openings
- Level straight hem around the body base
- Rib parts dyed to match the main shade
- Chest pocket offered as an added extra
- Side splits offered at the hem on request
- Neck labels and swing tags fitted pre packing
Nothing for this style sits in a stock room waiting to be sold. Production starts once an order is placed, so cloth, colour and sizes all follow the single agreed specification through cutting, sewing and final packing.
Pattern Shape and Making
The body is drafted with an easy regular fit that leaves comfortable room across the chest without hanging loose at the waist. Front and back panels are cut separately, shoulders slope naturally, and each sleeve is set into a smooth rounded armhole.
Sleeve measurements are graded across the size range from the shoulder seam down to the cuff, keeping shorter and taller sizes in proportion. The bottom edge is cut straight, so the shirt sits neatly worn loose or tucked in.
How the Neck, Cuffs and Hem Are Finished
Rib knitting forms the neck band, which is joined at the rear and sewn evenly around the opening so it lies flat against the body. Cuffs go on as folded rib bands, and twin needle stitching closes the hem so the edge stays level.
- Ribbed neck band sewn smoothly all the way round
- Full length sleeves set in by hand guided machines
- Ribbed cuffs attached, then pressed into shape
- Straight hem secured with twin needle stitching
- Shoulder joins taped inside for a clean finish
Send us a size chart, a paper pattern or a garment from your present range, whichever is easiest. Our pattern team works from that reference, grades out the size set and prepares one sample in the main size for approval.
Cloth and Knit Options
Cotton single jersey is the cloth most buyers pick for this pattern, giving a smooth outer face and a tidy hang. Blended jerseys mixing cotton with polyester are also sewn where a buyer asks for them, with the blend settled at sampling stage.
Fabric weight is decided with each buyer rather than fixed by us. A lighter cloth suits shirts worn beneath other clothing, while a heavier jersey gives a firmer shape for shirts sold as the top layer of an outfit.
Rib Quality and Sleeve Making
The neck band and both cuffs come from rib knit, a fabric with fine upright ribs that stretches sideways and springs back after wear. Rib is normally knitted in the same fibre and shade as the body so the whole shirt reads as one piece.
Every sleeve is sewn as a tube running from shoulder to wrist. The folded cuff is then attached around the opening and stitched in place, with cuff depth following the buyer specification shown on the approved sample.
Colour and Pattern Options
Rust brings a warm earthy tone to this plain pattern and pairs easily with workwear and casual ranges. The same block can be dyed to a buyer colour standard, running from soft pale shades through to deep company colours.
Ordinarily the cuffs and neck band match the body colour, exactly as pictured. Buyers who prefer a contrast band or cuff can ask for one, and the sample confirms the two colour effect before production begins.
A small chest pocket or short side splits at the hem can be added where a range needs them. Both count as buyer extras only, drawn onto the pattern during sampling instead of being included as standard.
OEM and Own Label Production
Own label work makes up much of our long sleeve output. Labels and distributors receive unbranded shirts carrying their own marks, folded and boxed under their instructions, ready for their depots, shops or contract clients.
Artwork files, label text and packing notes belong to one order only. The sewing team fits the label set written on your sheet while the packing team follows the same sheet, so branding stays consistent from machine to carton.
- Woven or printed label sitting at the back neck
- Size and wash care wording inside the garment
- Swing tags attached exactly as instructed
- Small woven hem tab available on request
- Single bagging or plain folded packing choices
- Carton wording printed from your own text
Inspection, Packing and Delivery to Canada
Checks run through every stage of the work. Cloth is looked over before cutting, cuff and sleeve joins are reviewed while sewing runs, and each finished shirt is measured, pressed and examined before it reaches the folding bench.
Completed garments are matched against the approved sample, the size chart and the packing instruction taken together. A shirt only enters a carton when the garment itself, its labels and its presentation all agree with those references.
- Chest, body length and sleeve length all measured
- Neck band shape and stitching examined closely
- Cuff width compared between left and right sides
- Seams, hems and loose threads checked throughout
- Shade judged next to the approved sample piece
- Labels, folding and carton contents confirmed last
Shirts are folded with sleeves laid flat along the body so cuffs stay smooth inside the carton. Boxes travel from Bangladesh to Canada by the route written on your order, with export papers raised against the final list.
Ordering in Simple Steps
From First Brief to Approved Sample
Start by sending your size chart, cloth preference, colour references and notes about cuff depth or body length. We then sew one piece in the main size showing the neck band, ribbed cuffs and straight hem as they will appear.
Fitting notes come back to us and the pattern is altered wherever you ask, be that a longer sleeve, a deeper cuff or an easier body. Settling these details on a single sample keeps the later bulk run simple.
Agreed Price and the Production Run
After sample approval, the price is worked out from the chosen cloth, rib quality, label set and packing method, then confirmed in writing beside the specification. The figure you accept covers exactly the details recorded there.
Making follows a fixed order: cloth inspection, cutting, sleeve work, assembly, cuff and hem finishing, measuring, pressing and packing. Each stage is checked against the approved sample until the last carton is sealed shut.
Ask for a Sample in Rust or a Colour of Your Own
One sewn sample shows more than photographs ever can. Send sizes, colours and your cuff preference and we will prepare a shirt showing the neck finish, sleeve ends and hem precisely as your customers would receive them.
The business behind this range is a Canadian company run by a Bangladeshi-born Canadian, with production arranged in Bangladesh and every order handled personally from first brief to final carton. That personal handling keeps ordering straightforward and repeat orders easy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the cuff depth be made deeper or narrower than standard?
Yes, cuff depth is a pattern measurement that can be set to your own figure. State the finished cuff depth you want, and the sample will be sewn with that depth so you can judge the look and feel at the wrist.
How is sleeve length graded across a full size range?
Sleeve length grows in small even steps from the smallest size to the largest, measured from the shoulder point to the cuff edge. Your size chart sets the step size, and every graded size is checked against it before cutting.
Can the neck band be sewn in a contrasting colour?
Yes, the rib for the neck band and cuffs can be dyed in a second shade while the body keeps the main colour. The two colour result is always shown on the sewn sample first, so there are no surprises in bulk.
How are the shirts packed for shipping to Canada?
Each shirt is folded with the sleeves flat, then bagged singly or packed plain according to your instruction. Cartons carry your own marks and wording, and the contents list is checked against the final packed quantities before dispatch.
