Fur Trim Sourcing Program for Military and Police Supply: Bridal Gowns
Fur Trim Programme for Military and Police Supply: Bridal Gowns
This programme covers the full path from a fur trim requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for military and police supply. 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 bridal gowns, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in fur trim 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 GB 18401
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Iron — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Glass — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Nickel Silver — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Aluminium — best balance of cost, availability and test performance

FAQ
Which compliance documents do you provide?
GB 18401 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
