Polar Fleece Fabric Sourcing Program for Denim Mills

Polar Fleece Fabric Programme for Denim Mills

This programme covers the full path from a polar fleece fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for denim mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 110 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.

The most common failure in polar fleece 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 Bluesign
• Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
• Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm

Recommended specifications

• Polyester — selected for colour depth and finish stability
• Recycled PET — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
• TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
• Genuine Leather — selected for colour depth and finish stability

• Trim and fabric sourced from audited mills with test reports on file
• One accountable owner from sampling through to ex-factory
• Golden sample retained at the factory and a second one held by the buyer
• MOQ quoted per style per colourway, stated before sampling starts
• Costed alternatives shown at quotation so the trade-off is visible

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.

How long does sampling take?

14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.

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?

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