Combed Cotton Fabric Sourcing Program for Yacht and Marine Interiors: Workwear
Combed Cotton Fabric Programme for Yacht and Marine Interiors: Workwear
This programme covers the full path from a combed cotton 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 180 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around workwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in combed cotton 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 EN 71-3
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- POM Plastic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Ceramic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Polyester — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
EN 71-3 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
