Garment types
Compression leggings, compression tights and compression shorts
Compression leggings are a close-fitting, firm-stretch legging made from a dense stretch fabric. Describe the feel you want and show a reference garment or sketch. We review how it can be built and sampled.
For the standard waistband, fit and fabric decisions that apply to every pair, see the custom leggings manufacturer page.
- 01
Compression leggings
Full-length or cropped leggings in a firm stretch fabric. Define the length, rise and how snug you want the leg to feel.
- 02
Compression tights
The same close fit for training, with a flat seam finish if you want one. Review comfort at the seams and the gusset on the sample.
- 03
Compression shorts
A shorter inseam in the same fabric. Check that the leg opening stays in place and does not roll when you move.

Fabric and recovery
Fabric weight and stretch for compression leggings
A firmer fabric holds the shape, but it also changes how the garment feels and how opaque it stays when stretched. Bring a material reference or describe the feel you want, then check stretch, recovery and opacity on the sample.
Explore fabric decisions ↗Your specification
High waisted compression leggings specification: fabric, waistband and seams
Send a reference garment or sketch, the fabric direction, the size chart, quantity and delivery country. Fit and stretch targets are confirmed against your specification for each project, and construction is subject to feasibility review before sampling.
- 01
Fabric and stretch
Agree the fabric weight, stretch direction and recovery you want. Material names alone do not show how a garment will feel.
- 02
High waistband
Set the waistband height, width and number of layers. Review how it sits and stays up when you squat and bend.
- 03
Seams and panels
Choose flat seams, contour seams or panels. Each affects comfort against the skin and how the legging lies.
- 04
Length and leg opening
Set the inseam, ankle opening and any cuff or hem finish so the leg ends where you want it.
- 05
Opacity
Check the fabric when stretched, in good light, across the seat and thigh, and record any change against the sample.
