Jersey Knit Fabric Sourcing Program for Costume and Theatre: Bedding Sets
Jersey Knit Fabric Programme for Costume and Theatre: Bedding Sets
This programme covers the full path from a jersey knit fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for costume and theatre. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 360 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around bedding sets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in jersey knit 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.

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
GRS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
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.
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
