Rivet with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Boots
This rivet is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the soft-touch rubber coating surface, the 25 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps boots 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
