Leather Cord with Mercerised Finish for Sportswear
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 mercerised finish surface, the 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sportswear 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.
