Waxed Cotton Cord with Gunmetal Finish for Jackets
This waxed cotton cord 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 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps jackets 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
