Merino Wool Leggings Factory
Base layer bottoms, training tights and kids' leggings in superfine merino — End to End process managed under one roof in Gurugram, India.
Leggings are the most demanding knit in the wardrobe: they need stretch, recovery, opacity and next-to-skin comfort at the same time. Because Apex Apparels knits and dyes in-house, we build the fabric to those four targets rather than picking the closest stock quality. We knit rib, jersey and interlock in 16.5–19.5 micron superfine merino, blended with nylon or recycled polyester and elastane where four-way stretch and shape retention are required.
The range spans thermal base layer bottoms and long johns, high-waist training tights, 7/8 and full-length leggings, ski and alpine thermals, everyday athleisure tights and baby and kids' leggings. Waistbands can be wide bonded, elasticated, drawcorded or covered-elastic for infant styles, with hidden key pockets and side panelling as needed.
Fit and finish are validated before bulk: opacity checked at stretch, gusseted crotch panels, flatlock or bonded seams to remove pressure points, and low-torque finishing so side seams stay straight through wash cycles. Merino adds thermoregulation and natural odour resistance across a wide temperature range. All production is Woolmark, RWS, OEKO-TEX®, GOTS and Sedex certified, AQL 1.5 inspected, in a 100% solar-powered facility.
