Elastic Thread with Chrome Plating for Yoga Wear
This elastic 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 chrome plating surface, the 10# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps yoga wear 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
