Selvedge Denim Fabric Sourcing Program for Automotive Interiors: Blazers
Selvedge Denim Fabric Programme for Automotive Interiors: Blazers
This programme covers the full path from a selvedge denim fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for automotive interiors. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 400 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 selvedge denim 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 California Prop 65
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Nylon — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Copper — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Aluminium — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nickel Silver — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

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.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
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.
