Vest: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $17.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $5.40 at volume, on a typical 35-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For vest, the drivers are chamois type, compression level, leg gripper, fabric weight, seam construction, suspender material, insulation type, waterproof rating — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Real supplier quotes for fleece and outdoor-style vests show a wide spread driven mainly by fabric weight, insulation or soft-shell construction, and decoration method; low-end blank fleece vests are available from US wholesale apparel sites, while custom-made FOB quotes from Chinese suppliers fall materially at 1,000+ units and again above 5,000. Mid-range custom-printed pricing is most realistic through US-facing wholesale decorators for smaller runs and direct import/OEM routes for 5,000+ units, with brand labeling and performance features such as moisture-wicking or thermal insulation pushing costs toward the high end. The 10,000+ tiers are inferred from real FOB manufacturer quotes for comparable custom fleece vests and should be treated as landed-equivalent estimates rather than exact published US distributor pricing
