Eco Jersey Brings End-to-End Custom Apparel Manufacturing to Global B2B Markets
Eco Jersey is building its position in the international apparel supply chain with an end-to-end manufacturing model designed for brands, businesses, teams and organisations seeking custom garment production under one coordinated process. With manufacturing operations dating back to 2019, the company has developed its production capabilities around the practical requirements of B2B apparel buyers. Rather than limiting its role to garment assembly, Eco Jersey manages projects from early product development and material sourcing through sampling, production, customisation, quality control, finishing, packaging and international shipping. Stitching Hall No. 3 of Eco Jersey Limited. See where your clothes are being stitched. Operating through Eco Jersey Limited in the United Kingdom and Eco Jersey (SMC-Private) Limited in Pakistan, the business combines international customer support with manufacturing operations in Pakistan. Its primary markets include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, while production services are available to customers internationally. A Manufacturing Model Built Around Complete Product Development The apparel sourcing process can require coordination between fabric suppliers, pattern makers, sampling teams, garment manufacturers, printing and embroidery facilities, quality-control teams and logistics providers. Eco Jersey's manufacturing model is structured to bring these stages into a coordinated production workflow. Projects can begin with product development and tech packs before progressing through pattern making, fabric and trim sourcing, prototype development and sampling. Once specifications are approved, production can move through cutting, sewing and the required garment customisation processes. Depending on the product, these processes can include sublimation, screen printing, DTG and DTF printing, embroidery, garment washing and dyeing. Labeling, private branding, quality control, finishing, ironing, packaging and international shipping can also be incorporated into the production program. The broader approach is reflected in the company's manufacturing services , which are structured to support different stages of custom apparel development rather than requiring every customer to follow an identical production route. From Sportswear to Technical and Fashion Apparel Eco Jersey's manufacturing range has developed across both everyday apparel and more technically demanding garment categories. Its current production scope includes sportswear, activewear, outdoor apparel, motorcycle apparel, leather apparel, denim apparel, fashionwear and workwear. These categories can involve substantially different materials, construction techniques, performance requirements and finishing processes. A sports garment, for example, may depend on lightweight performance fabrics, sublimation and moisture-management requirements, while motorcycle or leather apparel can involve heavier materials and more specialized construction. Denim programs can require washing and finishing processes, while workwear and outdoor apparel may place greater emphasis on durability, functionality and material specifications. Maintaining this broader apparel manufacturing range allows the company to work with different types of B2B customers while adapting the production process to the requirements of each garment rather than applying a single manufacturing formula across every category. Flexible Production for Developing and Established Brands Order quantity remains an important consideration for businesses developing custom clothing. Large manufacturing minimums can make product testing difficult, particularly for emerging brands or companies introducing a new design. Eco Jersey's standard minimum order quantity begins at 50 pieces per style , providing an entry point for businesses that may not initially require large-volume production. Sampling generally takes approximately seven business days , subject to garment complexity, materials and development requirements. Following sample approval and confirmation of production requirements, bulk manufacturing can begin from approximately 18 business days , although actual lead times vary according to the garment, order quantity, customization and sourcing requirements. Standard monthly production capacity is approximately 7,000 pieces , with actual output depending on the nature and complexity of the garments being produced. This combination allows Eco Jersey to work with smaller development programmes while retaining the capacity for larger B2B orders as customer requirements evolve. Examples of completed development and manufacturing work can be viewed through the company's apparel manufacturing portfolio . Material Sourcing and Third-Party Certification Requirements Material selection has become an increasingly important part of apparel sourcing as businesses consider performance, traceability and environmental requirements alongside appearance and cost. Eco Jersey works with yarn and fabric manufacturing mills to source materials according to individual project specifications. Where a buyer requires certified materials, qualifying textiles can be sourced through certified partner mills. This can include materials supported by GOTS, OEKO-TEX® and GRS documentation , depending on the fabric, supplier and requirements of the individual order. Relevant documentation can be provided for qualifying materials and projects. The distinction is important: these material certifications are supplied through qualifying partner mills rather than being presented as certifications directly held by Eco Jersey. The company's approach to certifications, affiliations and third-party material documentation is outlined through its corporate certifications and affiliations information . Keeping Quality Control Connected to Production For international B2B orders, manufacturing does not end when garments leave the sewing line. Consistency across measurements, construction, customisation, finishing and packaging can influence whether a production run meets the specifications established during development. Eco Jersey incorporates quality-control checks into its manufacturing workflow before products progress to final finishing and packaging. Requirements can vary significantly between projects, particularly when a customer has its own measurements, branding standards, packaging specifications or technical requirements. This project-specific approach is intended to maintain continuity between the approved sample and bulk production while identifying issues before goods are prepared for shipment. “Over the years, we have seen that B2B customers are looking for more than someone who can simply produce a garment,” said Hadier, sales manager at Eco Jersey . “They need clear communication, flexibility during development and a manufacturing team that understands how the original product specification should carry through to bulk production. Our focus is to keep those stages connected and make the process easier to manage for the customer.” Supporting Apparel Buyers Across International Markets Working across international markets also means accommodating different product expectations, sizing requirements, branding approaches and commercial needs. Eco Jersey currently serves customers globally, with a particular focus on the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and European markets including Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. The company continues to develop its manufacturing operations around a B2B model in which customers can approach production with their own designs, technical specifications, reference garments or early product concepts. The manufacturing process can then be structured according to the level of development already completed. Beyond production, Eco Jersey publishes company information and apparel manufacturing resources through its official blog , covering subjects relevant to clothing development, sourcing and manufacturing. As global apparel sourcing continues to place greater emphasis on production flexibility, communication and supply-chain visibility, Eco Jersey's objective is to maintain a manufacturing structure capable of supporting both developing and established businesses without separating product development from the realities of bulk production. From an initial concept and sample to finished garments prepared for international delivery, the company's end-to-end model is intended to give B2B buyers a more connected route through custom apparel manufacturing.

Performance Medicine Institute Study Demonstrates Muscle Gains are Possible During GLP-1 Weight Loss
Performance Medicine Institute is pleased to announce the publication of a peer-reviewed study examining skeletal muscle mass and strength during substantial weight loss in men receiving a comprehensive tirzepatide-based treatment program. Published August 10 in Obesity Pillars, the study followed 93 men with obesity and symptoms of testosterone deficiency for up to 12 months. The paper, “ Increasing Skeletal Muscle Mass and Strength During Incretin-Based Weight Loss ,” enters a public discussion that has largely centered on a single concern: whether weight lost with GLP-1 medications also includes a meaningful amount of muscle. Researchers and authors of the paper, Christopher L. Mendias, PhD, ATC, and Tariq M. Awan, DO, examined a broader question—whether substantial fat loss can occur alongside improvements in estimated skeletal muscle mass, strength and physical function when several aspects of health are addressed together. The retrospective case series included 48 participants without type 2 diabetes and 45 with the condition. All received tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound, as well as testosterone therapy for symptomatic testosterone deficiency with qualifying laboratory findings. The program also incorporated resistance exercise, high-protein nutritional counseling and weekly lifestyle and behavioral coaching. Participants were counseled to pursue more than 150 minutes of exercise weekly, with approximately 60% to 70% devoted to resistance training, and to target 150 to 200 grams of protein per day. At 12 months, body weight had declined by approximately 18% to 20%, while fat mass fell by approximately 38% to 40%. Estimated skeletal muscle mass increased by approximately 4% to 12%, and grip strength rose by approximately 18% to 21%. Among participants with type 2 diabetes, average HbA1c decreased from 10.1% to 5.8%. The study also reported reductions in LDL cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, together with improvements in patient-reported physical and mental health scores. “There has been a lot of attention paid to how much weight people can lose with GLP-1 medications, but we think an equally important question is what kind of weight they are losing,” says Dr. Awan, Medical Director of Performance Medicine Institute. “The goal should not simply be a lower number on the scale. Ideally, we want patients to lose excess body fat while preserving or improving skeletal muscle, strength, metabolic health and physical function. Our findings suggest that substantial weight loss and improvement in muscle health can occur at the same time.” A key point in the paper is the distinction between lean body mass and skeletal muscle mass. Lean body mass is a broad measure that includes muscle, organs, body water, glycogen-associated water, connective tissue and other nonfat tissue. In the study, total lean body mass decreased, yet estimated skeletal muscle mass and grip strength increased. The authors noted that a decline in measured lean mass should therefore not automatically be interpreted as an equivalent decline in skeletal muscle. For patients arriving at a weight-management appointment, the scale is often the most visible marker of progress. The research suggests that the story beneath that number may be equally important. Body composition, strength, metabolic measures and day-to-day physical function can offer a more complete view of how treatment is affecting health. The findings do not establish that skeletal muscle gain will occur with tirzepatide alone. The participants received multiple interventions at the same time, and the analysis was limited to men with obesity and testosterone deficiency treated at a single outpatient clinic. As a retrospective case series without a comparison group, the study supports further investigation rather than a conclusion that any one component caused the reported changes. Testosterone therapy is appropriate only for patients who have been clinically evaluated and meet treatment criteria. The article is available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.obpill.2026.100317 .

Little League Elbow Symptoms & Treatment Guide For Youth Pitchers Released
Youth pitching resource VeloRESET has released a new educational guide on Little League elbow, a growth plate injury commonly seen in pitchers between the ages of eight and fourteen. Written for parents rather than clinicians, the guide explains what the injury looks like in practice, how it differs from more serious elbow conditions, and what typically causes it to develop over the course of a season. More details can be found at https://www.veloreset.com/blog/little-league-elbow-youth-pitchers-parents-guide The guide draws on questions VeloRESET has fielded from parents who noticed elbow tenderness in their pitcher but were unsure whether it warranted rest or a medical evaluation. Each section explains what tenderness on the inner elbow can indicate, how the injury is typically diagnosed, and why catching it early matters more than the severity of symptoms at that stage. A ten-year study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, conducted from 1999 to 2008, tracked baseball pitchers between nine and fourteen years of age. The research found that youth pitchers who throw more than 100 innings per year are 3.5 times more likely to sustain a serious elbow or shoulder injury requiring surgery or ending their career. That volume-based risk is central to what the guide addresses, helping parents recognize warning signs before the condition escalates. Rather than focusing on pitch counts alone, the resource walks through how growth plate stress accumulates across games, practices, and bullpen sessions, and outlines a phased return-to-throwing timeline for pitchers recovering from elbow pain. "Too many parents are told to watch for pain, but by the time pain shows up, the injury has already been building for weeks," Joey Myers, founder of VeloRESET, said. "This guide gives parents a clearer picture of what to look for early, so decisions about rest and recovery can be made before the situation becomes more serious." VeloRESET was founded by Joey Myers, a certified corrective exercise specialist with more than fifteen years of experience working with youth athletes. The guide is part of VeloRESET's broader library of resources designed to help families understand arm injuries, recovery timelines, and safe return-to-throwing progressions for pitchers. "Parents don't need a medical degree to notice when something is off with their pitcher's arm," Myers added. "They just need to know what early signs actually look like, and that is exactly the gap this guide is meant to close for families dealing with Little League elbow this season."

Adam Lacko and Aliyyah Koloc set for Hungarian Baja with Buggyra ZM Racing
The team will field two cars in the T1+ class of the top-tier Ultimate category. Aliyyah Koloc will drive a Red-Lined Revo GTR alongside Polish co-driver Marcin Pasek, while Adam Lacko will once again team up with Italian co-driver Mirko Brun in a Red-Lined Revo T1+. For the team, the event serves a purpose beyond the result itself. It is another step in the technical development of both cars and a further test of their reliability under racing conditions. Particular attention will be put on the gearbox on Lacko's car, which caused problems at the recent Italian Baja. The team also views the event as an opportunity to compare data between the two cars in the same category, and to continue Lacko's development in cross-country rally under the guidance of Koloc, who has considerably more experience in the discipline. Competition at the Hungarian Baja will be strong, with Belgian driver Guillaume De Mévius, runner-up at the 2024 Dakar Rally, among the main rivals. The event covers more than 450 kilometers of timed stages, starting with Friday’s prologue and opening stage, before the bulk of the competitive kilometers is covered on Saturday. Adam Lacko The Hungarian Baja marks Lacko's third competitive start in cross-country rallying. On his debut at the Baja TT Cuenca, he finished fifth in the Ultimate category, while at the Italian Baja, Lacko and Mirko Brun took sixth place in Ultimate and fifth in the T1+ category. He is continuing his unusual combination of cross-country rallying with circuit truck racing. The highlight of his season, the FIA European Truck Racing Championship round at Most, awaits him at the end of August. "It's a huge challenge, but at the same time a real driving pleasure. One week you're dealing with off-road terrain, rocks, the route and long stages; the next, you're sitting in a truck on track, battling for every centimeter. Each discipline forces me to work a little differently. I'm also treating the Hungarian Baja as excellent race preparation ahead of Most, where I'll be aiming to be in peak condition," says Lacko. Aliyyah Koloc Aliyyah Koloc returns to competition after a spell in China, where she took part in a T1+ test with the JJ Sport team at the end of July. Earlier this year, she also participated in the grueling Taklimakan Rally where she finished in 10th position as the fastest woman and the highest-placed foreign competitor. “I really enjoyed my time in China. The testing was intense and gave me some fresh insights, but now I’m glad to be back in race mode. The Hungarian Baja will be a completely different challenge. I’m also looking forward to continuing to work with Adam. It’s a bit strange to be mentoring someone with his level of experience, but I do have more kilometers under my belt in cross-country rallying. If I can help him learn faster, I’ll be happy to do so,” adds Koloc. Event schedule Thursday, August 13 Administration checks: 12.30-21.00hrs - Thury Castle, Várpalota Scrutineering checks: 13.30-20.00hrs - Thury Castle, Várpalota Friday, August 14 Shakedown: 07.00-12.00hrs - Várpalota Pre-event press conference: 13.00hrs - Thury Castle, Várpalota Prologue – 11.02km: 14.30hrs - first car Stage 1 – 49.34km: 17.40hrs – first car Ceremonial start: 21.00hrs – Várpalota Főtér Szabadság Square Saturday, August 15 Stage 2 – 132.60km Várpalota - Gyulafirátót: 08.15hrs – first car Stage 3 – 132.60km Várpalota - Gyulafirátót: 12.25hrs – first car Stage 4 – 132.34km Gyulafirátót - Várpalota: 17.00hrs – first car Podium ceremony: 21.00hrs – Várpalota Főtér Szabadság Square https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Allianz Junior Badminton Championship: Chemistry is key as Putera Raees dominates in Johor
Last year’s Allianz Junior Badminton Championship (AJBC) Grand Finals champion Putera Raees Rafael Sulaiman sensationally landed the boys’ Under-15 doubles and singles crowns in the AJBC 2026 Qualifying Round 3 here in Johor Bahru recently. The 14-year-old’s chemistry with partner Muhammad Darwisy Al-Qhardawi Mohd Shaharin was key to their success and their victory against Keith Leow Chee Jian (SMK Seri Perling) and Lee Wen Hao (SMK Puteri Wangsa) in the final. It took Putera Raees-Muhammad Darwisy just over 15 minutes to secure the doubles crown, winning the tie 15-7, 15-8. “We have been playing together since we were in Form Two and have played more than 40 tournaments together. The thing is that we never train together as a doubles pair, we just have this chemistry where we know how to cover each other,” said Putera Raees, who was also the Under-13 Boys’ Singles winner at the AJBC Grand Finals 2024. “We have known each other for some time and I believe that we can be a strong pair in the future,” added Putera Raees, who is a student at SMK St. Paul in Seremban. His partner, Muhammad Darwisy, from SM Agama Dato' Klana Petra Maamor in Seremban, stated: “After making last year’s Grand Finals, we knew that we needed to polish up our game. We will be up against the best in the country at this year’s Grand Finals, and we will need to produce our best game then.” Putera Raees completed the double win after overcoming his friend and partner, Muhammad Darwisy, in the Under-15 boys’ singles final. Putera Raees emerged victorious, winning 17-15, 21-19, in a battle that lasted over 30 minutes. “It is a little demanding to play two finals in one day but managing the time is crucial,” he added. Two other players achieved double wins in Johor. In the girls’ Under-13 category, Ko Zhi Ching snatched the singles title after overcoming Yee Eng Kee in the final. She formed a formidable partnership with Lim Xue Er to defeat Dhia Ramadhani Mohd Shakirin-Eng Kee in the doubles tie. Chang Sao Tang concluded a triumphant run here when he defeated Hafif Hamsyar Hairul Nizam in the Under-13 boys’ singles final. He teamed up with Wan Jia Jun to take home a memorable second gold and more importantly, a place in the AJBC Grand Finals later this year. Mr. Jeffery Koh, Allianz Malaysia Johor Bahru Branch Manager, En. Mohamad Zaini Jamsari, Penolong Pengarah Unit Pembangunan Bakat Murid, JPN Johor and Ts. Mohd Zaki Ghazali, Deputy Director, Sports Unit, Sports, Co-curricular, and Arts Division, Ministry of Education, presented the cash prizes and medals to the various winners. The fifth edition of AJBC, initiated to inspire, develop and celebrate young badminton talents across Malaysia, is organised by Allianz Malaysia Berhad (Allianz Malaysia) and supported by the Badminton Association of Malaysia and the Sports, Co-curricular, and Arts Division, Ministry of Education. In just five years, the AJBC, which does not require any entrance fees from the players, has become one of the most popular and anticipated junior events in the country. This year’s AJBC features a total of 10 Qualifying Rounds followed by the Grand Finals in Kuala Lumpur. The finalists in the Under-13 and Under-15 age group categories from each qualifying round will advance to the Grand Finals. List of winners from AJBC Qualifying Round 3 is attached.

Little League Shoulder Recovery Timeline Explained In New Guide For Parents
VeloRESET has published a new guide for parents whose child has been diagnosed with little league shoulder, addressing one of the most common questions families have during recovery: when is it safe to begin throwing again? The resource explains why recovering from this growth plate injury depends on more than simply completing a prescribed period of rest. More information is available at https://www.veloreset.com/blog/little-league-shoulder-youth-pitcher-parents-guide For many families, the diagnosis answers what is causing the pain but leaves uncertainty about what happens next. While physicians commonly recommend a minimum three-month break from throwing, parents still have to make practical decisions as their child progresses through recovery. The guide focuses on those weeks between the initial diagnosis and a gradual return to the mound, helping parents better understand what normal recovery can look like and which changes deserve closer attention. "Parents are often given a diagnosis and a recovery timeline, but many are still left wondering what they should actually be watching as their child begins throwing again," said Joey Myers, founder of VeloRESET. "Our goal is to help families make those week-to-week decisions with greater confidence by understanding what the arm is telling them throughout the recovery process." A key message throughout the resource is that little league shoulder is a growth plate stress injury, not a rotator cuff or labrum injury. The guide explains that this distinction matters because growth plate tissue heals according to its own biological timeline. While the recommended rest period gives the injury time to recover, it does not automatically mean the arm has regained the capacity to handle pitching workloads. Building on that idea, the guide encourages parents to view medical clearance as the beginning of the return-to-throw process, not its conclusion. It explains that the arm's response during each stage of the throwing ramp provides valuable information about recovery. Factors such as how long soreness lasts after throwing, whether stiffness increases or decreases between sessions, and whether progress remains consistent over several weeks can help parents better understand how the recovery process is unfolding.

Custosnow Launches Factory-Direct Custom Snowboards Program to Disrupt Private Label Manufacturing in 2026
Shenzhen, Guangdong – January 26, 2026 – Custosnow announced the global rollout of its factory-direct manufacturing service for custom snowboards, providing a streamlined pathway for independent brands, ski resorts, and retailers to create professional-grade equipment under their own label. The new platform manages the entire production lifecycle — from initial design and core selection to quality control and global shipping — eliminating the traditional barriers to entry in the winter sports hardware market. The snowboarding industry is experiencing a significant shift in consumer preferences. In 2026, riders are increasingly rejecting mass-produced, big-box equipment in favor of niche, independent brands that offer unique aesthetics and localized community connection. Industry data indicates that demand for customized winter gear has grown by 33% year-over-year, yet supply chain complexity, high minimum order quantities, and opaque factory pricing continue to block small businesses from entering the market. "The traditional snowboard manufacturing model is broken for independent creators," said Sam Jiang from Custosnow. "By offering a fully managed, factory-direct pipeline, we are making it possible for boutique shops, lifestyle brands, and corporate clients to launch their own high-quality board lines without navigating international logistics or hiring dedicated quality assurance teams." Custosnow's comprehensive service model addresses every friction point in the production process. The platform offers transparent, volume-based pricing tiers starting at just five boards, making it accessible for boutique shops testing a new concept or event organizers seeking unique branded merchandise. Clients receive dedicated design support for graphics, colorways, and tech pack preparation, ensuring that every board reflects their specific brand identity and performance requirements. The service is particularly advantageous for ski resorts and rental fleets. By investing in snowboard customization, resorts can replace generic rental equipment with premium, co-branded boards that enhance the guest experience and serve as mobile marketing assets across the mountain. Custosnow handles the rigorous quality control required for fleet durability, ensuring that the custom equipment performs reliably under heavy commercial use. By bridging the gap between creative vision and factory-floor execution, Custosnow is supporting a new generation of snowboard brands in competing within a crowded marketplace. The platform's commitment to transparency, low minimums, and end-to-end project management allows clients to focus entirely on marketing and sales, with production handled by experienced specialists. About Custosnow Custosnow is a factory-direct manufacturing partner specializing in custom snowboards for independent brands, ski resorts, and retailers. By managing the entire production process from design brief to global delivery, Custosnow provides a seamless, high-quality manufacturing solution for creators looking to launch and scale their own winter sports equipment line. With volume-based pricing starting at five boards and a 30–45 day lead time, the platform serves clients ranging from boutique startups to large resort operators.

Onslaught Sports Introduces Footwear Innovation Engineered to Increase Workload During Everyday Movement
Traditional athletic footwear is usually designed to make movement easier for the wearer. Most modern shoe designs focus on stability control and energy return systems that help improve efficiency during exercise and everyday activity. For active individuals, that creates an interesting limitation. A person may spend hours moving throughout a normal day, yet much of that activity happens in footwear specifically designed to make movement feel easier. Workers in hospitals, warehouses, retail environments, and other active jobs may take thousands of steps each day without gaining meaningful training benefits from those repeated movement patterns. In many cases, those hours of movement represent a significant amount of daily activity that typically goes unnoticed from a performance standpoint. Sports technology company Onslaught Sports is introducing a footwear concept built around a different engineering approach. Instead of reducing workload, this footwear is intended to increase muscle engagement during everyday movement while allowing wearers to continue their normal activities throughout the day. Walking during a commute, moving through a work shift, completing errands, and performing household tasks can all become a more active part of everyday physical output without requiring major changes to a normal routine. The concept applies a performance-focused approach to movement that already exists in everyday life. Ordinary movement may hold untapped training potential. This concept is intended to make routine daily activities a more physically active experience through a different approach to footwear.
