Material specification
State composition, weight and colour reference. Compare the physical material with the garment it will become.
TEAMWEAR / SPORTSWEAR MANUFACTURING
Choose the fabric for the garment.
Compare composition, weight, stretch, coverage and handle together. A fibre name alone does not describe how a finished garment will fit or feel.
SPECIFY / REVIEW / APPROVE
Compare the material choices.
Use the agreed specification and physical reference together.
Panel choices
Locate mesh or contrasting panels on the garment drawing. Review coverage and the resulting seam positions.
Construction reference
Keep the accepted seam finish with the sample. Check joins, edges and skin-contact points.
SPECIFY / REVIEW / APPROVE
Put the review criteria in writing.
Agree the information needed before sample approval.

GARMENT DEVELOPMENT / BUYER GUIDE
Questions before the first order.
Agree the details that affect your quotation and sample review.
What should be approved before production?
Keep the accepted sample, measurement chart, colour references, artwork files and order quantities together. Identify who approves corrections and record changes before production proceeds.
What should an overseas buyer include?
State the delivery country and area in the USA, Australia or the relevant European country, your target arrival date and packing requirements. Request production timing, freight and delivery responsibilities in writing.
How are minimum quantities and prices confirmed?
Break your request down by garment, colour and size. Ask for the minimum quantity, unit price, sample cost and any artwork charges against that exact brief; do not assume one minimum applies to every style.
YOUR NEXT MANUFACTURING BRIEF
Request a fabric and garment quotation.
Describe the garments, estimated quantities, destination and decisions you need help with. Include sample and artwork requirements so the brief can be reviewed together.
