Pants: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $9.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $4.20 at volume, on a typical 45-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $9.00 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $7.90 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $6.50 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $5.50 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $4.80 |
| 100,000+ units | $4.20 |
What moves the price
For pants, the drivers are chamois type, compression level, leg gripper, fabric weight, seam construction, suspender material, insulation type, waterproof rating — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier routes for trousers in this market are mostly workwear and uniform manufacturers quoting EXW or bulk wholesale bands, plus import/landed-equivalent marketplace pricing. Vanta Workwear publishes tiered EXW bands for custom workwear at 500–1,999, 2,000–9,999, and 10,000+ pieces, while Screen Textiles shows wholesale trousers under £15/pair for some styles and under £45/pair at 20+ pairs, indicating much higher prices for smaller orders and branded stock. Price moves most with fabric weight/content, certification or ANSI/FR requirements, and construction details such as pockets, closure, reflective trim, and fit; the realistic sourcing route for these volumes is a custom workwear factory or importer rather than a retail decorator.
