Nylon Fabric Sourcing Program for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Down Jackets
Nylon Fabric Programme for Towel and Bathrobe Mills: Down Jackets
This programme covers the full path from a nylon fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for towel and bathrobe mills. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 450 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around down jackets, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in nylon 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 ISO 105 Colour Fastness
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Ceramic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Cotton — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Recycled PET — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

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.
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 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 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.
