Sleeve Head Sourcing Program for Workwear Manufacturers: Yoga Wear
Sleeve Head Programme for Workwear Manufacturers: Yoga Wear
This programme covers the full path from a sleeve head requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for workwear manufacturers. 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 yoga wear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in sleeve head 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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
