Hair Canvas Sourcing Program for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Jackets
Hair Canvas Programme for Sock and Hosiery Makers: Jackets
This programme covers the full path from a hair canvas requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for sock and hosiery makers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 3# Gauge, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around jackets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in hair canvas 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 BSCI
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Copper — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Nylon — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Aluminium — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Bamboo — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
BSCI documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
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.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
