Pique Knit Fabric with Powder Coating for Coats
This pique knit fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the powder coating surface, the 180 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps coats 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
10 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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 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.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
