Sherpa Fabric with Matte Black Coating for Gloves
This sherpa 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 160 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps gloves 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 shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
