Interlock Knit Fabric Sourcing Program for Fashion Brands

Interlock Knit Fabric Programme for Fashion Brands

This programme covers the full path from a interlock knit fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fashion brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 160 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in interlock knit fabric sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.

What the programme covers

• Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
• Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
• Sampling, testing and approval against WRAP
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Genuine Leather — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability
• Wood — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Cotton — selected for colour depth and finish stability

Programme parameters

Why buyers choose this route

• Trim and fabric sourced from audited mills with test reports on file
• Compliance documentation issued with the shipment, not after it
• Costed alternatives shown at quotation so the trade-off is visible
• Written specification held on file, so every reorder reproduces the approved sample
• AQL inspection on every bulk lot with photo reporting before balance payment

2. Material and finish proposal with costed alternatives
3. Counter sample built from your tech pack or reference sample
4. Approval, testing and pre-production sign-off
5. Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
6. Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard MOQ is 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.

What are the payment and delivery terms?

Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.

Which compliance documents do you provide?

WRAP documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.

What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?

The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.

Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
