Jeans Button Sourcing Program for Hat and Cap Makers: Sleepwear
Jeans Button Programme for Hat and Cap Makers: Sleepwear
This programme covers the full path from a jeans button requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for hat and cap makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 15 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sleepwear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in jeans button 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
- Glass — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Nylon — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Genuine Leather — 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 500 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.
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.
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.
Send the reference sample or tech pack and we will come back with a costed specification, a sampling timetable and the compliance documents your market requires.
