Jacquard Fabric with Gunmetal Finish for Boots
This jacquard fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the gunmetal finish surface, the 450 gsm 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 a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
