Leather Cord with Matte Black Coating for Underwear
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 matte black coating surface, the 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps underwear 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 compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
