Viscose Fabric Sourcing Program for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Coats
Viscose Fabric Programme for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Coats
This programme covers the full path from a viscose fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for ski and snowboard brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 450 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around coats, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in viscose 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
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nickel Silver — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Neoprene — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nylon — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 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.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
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.
