Flannel Fabric Sourcing Program for Fashion Brands: Blazers
Flannel Fabric Programme for Fashion Brands: Blazers
This programme covers the full path from a flannel fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for fashion brands. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 210 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around blazers, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in flannel 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 JIS L Standards
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- TPU — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Nickel Silver — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Glass — selected for colour depth and finish stability

FAQ
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.
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
JIS L Standards documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 2000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
