Oxford Fabric with Glossy Enamel Coating for Caps
This oxford 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 glossy enamel coating surface, the 140 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps caps 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
How long does sampling take?

What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
