Quilted Fabric with Black Nickel Finish for Down Jackets
This quilted 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 black nickel finish surface, the 140 gsm 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
