Cotton Twill Tape with Gunmetal Finish for Hats
This cotton twill tape is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the gunmetal finish surface, the 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps hats consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
