Knit Interlining with Gunmetal Finish for Socks
This knit interlining 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 socks 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or a spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
