Oxford Fabric Sourcing Program for Medical Textile Buyers: Bras
Oxford Fabric Programme for Medical Textile Buyers: Bras
This programme covers the full path from a oxford fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for medical textile buyers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 280 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around bras, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in oxford 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
- PU Leather — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- ABS Resin — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Stainless Steel — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Polyester — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
California Prop 65 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 3000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
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.
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.
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.
