Mesh Fabric Sourcing Program for Golf Apparel Brands: Activewear
Mesh Fabric Programme for Golf Apparel Brands: Activewear
This programme covers the full path from a mesh fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for golf apparel brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 320 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around activewear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in mesh 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 GRS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Iron — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Acrylic — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Bamboo — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Stainless Steel — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
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.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
GRS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
