Custom Wearables and Special Projects Manufacturing

Suddora’s Special Projects division designs, prototypes, replicates, and manufactures custom wearables and soft-goods accessories for professional sports teams, sports technology companies, brands, and organizations.

If you have a device that needs to be worn on the body, a product that needs to be replicated and scaled, or an accessory that doesn’t exist yet, this is what we do. Sweat management is our foundation. Custom manufacturing is where we solve problems nobody else will take on.

We have manufactured custom products for NFL, MLB, and NBA organizations, NCAA programs, high school athletic departments, and sports technology companies since 2008

What We Make

Device Pouches and Wearable Housings

Send us your device, or even just a 3D-printed model of it, and we build a wearable around it that fits perfectly: neoprene pouches sewn onto jerseys, wrist-worn pouches with clear viewing windows, glove straps, arm wraps, and belt-mounted holders. We have built wearables for electronic play-calling systems, pitch-calling pagers, and GPS athlete-tracking devices used in NCAA and professional sports.

Hook-and-loop Wearables and Straps

Adjustable wristbands, arm wraps, glove-band straps, and tribute-style bands that fasten with hook-and-loop closures, including designs that can be put on and taken off over gloves or equipment.

Customizable Sweatbands and Armbands

Standard catalog sizes are the starting point, not the limit. We have produced 8-inch and 11-inch tall armbands for NFL quarterbacks at the request of team equipment managers. If a player needs a size that doesn’t exist, we make it.

Product Replication

Already have a product that works, but it’s being sewn in a garage or your supplier disappeared? Send us a sample. We reverse-engineer it, match or improve the materials and construction, and take over production at scale. In many cases we deliver a production-quality sample within about a month of receiving yours.

Team Hand Warmers
Football-style waist hand warmers, with or without logos, in team colors. Available blank for programs with exclusive apparel-brand agreements.

Cut-and-sew Sports Accessories

Towels, sleeves, headbands, straps, pouches, vests, and soft goods built to your spec from cotton terry cloth, neoprene, elastic, mesh, and technical fabrics.

Materials and Construction Capabilities

• Cotton terry cloth (the same premium terry used in our sweatbands)
• Thin, stretchable neoprene for pouches, wraps, and straps
• Hook-and-loop fasteners (soft and ard loop closures)
• Clear windows for reading device screens through the wearable
• Metal D-rings, buckles, and adjustable hardware
• Sew-on backings for attaching pouches directly to game or practice jerseys
• Screen printing and embroidered or woven logos
• Flame-resistant material options for specialty applications
• Custom sizing, from kids’ sizes to 11-inch-plus armbands

Who We Work With

Sports Technology Companies

Electronic play-calling and pitch-calling companies,GPS tracking providers, and wearable-sensor makers who need a manufacturingpartner for the soft-goods side of their product: the pouch, strap, or band that actually puts their device on an athlete’s body. Your engineers build the device. We build everything that touches the athlete.

Equipment Managers
NFL, MLB, NBA, NCAA, and high school equipment managers come to us when a player needs something that doesn’t exist: a longer armband, a custom pouch, a specific towel, a modified accessory. Small runs are fine. Fast answers are standard.

Brands, Events, and Organizations

Custom accessories for promotions, fundraising, tributes, and specialty uses, including one-off requests from outside sports entirely.

Is Your Project a Fit?

A great Fit:
Teams, schools, brands, resorts, events, and sports technology companies. Projects where you can send a sample, device, sketch, photo, or 3D print. Bulk production, OEM, private-label, and repeat orders. Products built from terry cloth, cotton, neoprene, elastic, webbing, clear window materials, and similar soft goods. Buyers who care about quality, fit, and price.

Usually not a Fit:
One-off consumer projects, same-week custom manufacturing, projects that need us to engineer the electronics, projects that must be entirely made in the USA, or quantities below custom production economics. We’d rather tell you upfront than waste your time.

How It Works

1.  Tell us about the project - Book a free 15-minute discovery call or send us what you have: a sample, a sketch, a photo, a 3D print, or just a problem.

2. We scope it - If it fits our capabilities, we come back with a roadmap, materials, and pricing. If it doesn’t, we tell you fast.

3. Prototype and samples - We produce a sample for your approval. Sending us your physical device or a 3D-printed model of it is the fastest path; the back-and-forth is almost always the only bottleneck.

4. Production - Once approved, we produce at scale with the same construction every time, and we handle reorders so your product is never dependent on someone’s garage
again.

A note on timelines: custom manufacturing done right takes time. Typical production runs ship by sea freight on roughly a 45-day timeline; air freight is available when speed matters more than cost. If you need hand warmers or cold-weather gear for the season, order in summer.

A note on confidentiality: we regularly sign NDAs and work with pre-release devices. Your IP stays yours. We are the manufacturer, not a competitor.
