Direct Manufacturer
Your Cargo Shorts Production Partner
A direct manufacturer for fashion, workwear, and outdoor brands that need durable, branded cargo shorts - not a reseller.
GenXport is a cargo shorts manufacturer serving US and international brands, retailers, workwear suppliers, and importers. You send the design, tech pack, or sample; we deliver finished, labelled shorts ready to sell.
We build custom cargo shorts in-house, from pattern and cutting through sewing, hardware, and finishing, with quality checks before every shipment. That keeps pockets, hardware, and sizing consistent across the run.
One accountable team handles sampling, production planning, and QC, so your specs and timelines stay clear. We support startups and established brands with low MOQ production and bulk capacity.
