Topstitch Thread with Matte Black Coating for Shirts
This topstitch thread is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the matte black coating surface, the 10# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps shirts 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
