Read More Base Layer Clothing Manufacturer
Eco Jersey is a specialist outdoor base layer clothing manufacturer for hiking brands, hunting labels, outdoor adventure companies, private labels, and wholesalers. We produce custom base layers built to regulate body temperature, manage moisture, and keep the wearer comfortable in all outdoor conditions. Your brand, your performance specs, our manufacturing expertise.
Our Base Layer Clothing Products Manufacturing Range
As a dedicated outdoor base layer clothing manufacturer, we produce a wide range of custom base layer styles for men and women, built to your brand's exact fit, fabric weight, and performance requirements. You can fully customise each piece with your own colours, prints, and branding.
Long Sleeve Base Layer
Our long sleeve base layer tops are the core of any outdoor layering system. Made from moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabrics that pull sweat away from the skin and keep the wearer dry and warm during hiking, hunting, and cold weather activities. Available in lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight constructions.
Short Sleeve & Sleeveless Base Layer
Lightweight short sleeve and sleeveless base layer tops for active outdoor pursuits where temperature regulation is key. Breathable, stretch fabrics that move with the body and work as a standalone layer or under mid and outer layers.
Leggings & Tights Base Layer
Form-fitting base layer bottoms built for warmth and freedom of movement. Our outdoor base layer leggings and tights are made from four-way stretch fabrics with flatlock seams to prevent chafing during long days in the field.
Thermal Base Layer Sets
Complete top and bottom thermal base layer sets for cold weather outdoor use. Heavyweight fabrics with brushed inner linings for extra warmth — ideal for hunting, winter hiking, and cold climate adventure brands.
Merino Wool Base Layers
Natural merino wool base layers for outdoor performance brands. Merino regulates body temperature in both cold and warm conditions, resists odour naturally, and feels soft against the skin — a premium choice for high-end outdoor collections.
Base Layer Hoodies & Half-Zips
Base layer hoodies and half-zip pullovers for outdoor brands wanting versatile layering pieces. Fitted cuts, moisture-wicking fabrics, and clean styling make these ideal for wearing close to the body as a first layer in cold outdoor environments.
Fabric, Fit, and Customization Options
At Eco Jersey, selecting the right fabric for outdoor base layers is the foundation of every project. We source from certified mills and offer a wide range of technical materials including polyester moisture-wicking jersey, nylon-spandex blends, merino wool, polypropylene, and brushed thermal fleece — all suited for outdoor base layer production. Our sourcing team matches the fabric to your performance requirements, whether that is lightweight breathability for active hiking, midweight warmth for cold mornings, or odour-resistant merino for premium brands. Clients have full control over fit — compression, athletic, or regular — as well as functional details like flatlock seams, thumb holes, and raglan sleeves. All branding, labelling, and packaging is handled in-house to keep lead times short.
