Braided Elastic with Antique Brass Plating for Suits
This braided elastic 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 brass plating surface, the 15 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps suits 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
