Waxed Cotton Cord with Antique Copper Finish for Workwear
This waxed cotton 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 antique copper finish surface, the 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps workwear 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 zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse, 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.

FAQ
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.

Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
