Coated Fabric Sourcing Program for Yacht and Marine Interiors: Scarves
Coated Fabric Programme for Yacht and Marine Interiors: Scarves
This programme covers the full path from a coated fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for yacht and marine interiors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 140 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around scarves, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in coated 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 ISO 105 Colour Fastness
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Neoprene — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Ceramic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

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.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
ISO 105 Colour Fastness documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
