Knitted Elastic with Rainbow Iridescent Finish for Sleepwear
This knitted elastic is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the rainbow iridescent finish surface, the 5# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sleepwear 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 spec that lived in an email instead of a tech pack, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

Which compliance documents do you provide?
AATCC Test Methods documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
Can you match a physical sample?
