Tencel Lyocell Fabric Sourcing Program for Chef Wear Suppliers: Skirts
Tencel Lyocell Fabric Programme for Chef Wear Suppliers: Skirts
This programme covers the full path from a tencel lyocell fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for chef wear suppliers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 240 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around skirts, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in tencel lyocell 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
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Acrylic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 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.
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.
