Elastic Cord with Silicone Wash Finish for Jackets
This elastic 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 silicone wash finish surface, the 25 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 a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested, or a compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
