Felt Fabric Sourcing Program for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Shirts
Felt Fabric Programme for Ski and Snowboard Brands: Shirts
This programme covers the full path from a felt 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 160 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around shirts, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in felt 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
- TPU — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Iron — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- ABS Resin — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
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.
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 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
