Softshell Fabric with Matte Black Coating for Kidswear
This softshell fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the matte black coating surface, the 360 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps kidswear 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 trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested, or lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
