Wired Edge Ribbon with Silicone Wash Finish for Down Jackets
This wired edge ribbon is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the silicone wash finish surface, the 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps down jackets 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or elastic that lost recovery after three washes. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
