Work Pant: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.90 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $3.20 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.

What moves the price
For work pant, the drivers are arc rating (cal/cm²), NFPA 70E compliance, fabric weight, flame-resistant material, closure type, lining, inseam, fly style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale and factory quotes for cargo/work pants cluster around roughly $3.90-$7.20 at 1,000+ units, with hi-vis or bib/pant variants showing similar low-single-digit FOB pricing at scale and US-facing wholesalers listing roughly $23-$27 for smaller bulk retail-like programs. The biggest price drivers are fabric weight/material blend, safety features such as ANSI hi-vis or FR treatment, pocket/closure complexity, and whether decoration is simple logo print versus fully custom construction. The most realistic sourcing routes are US-facing uniform wholesalers for mid-size orders and China/Asia OEM factories or importers for 5,000+ units, where landed-equivalent pricing can approach the lower end of the published FOB ranges.
