Leather Cord with Enzyme Wash Finish for Sneakers
This leather 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 enzyme wash finish surface, the 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sneakers 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
