Side Release Buckle with Brushed Silver Finish for Down Jackets
This side release buckle is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the brushed silver finish surface, the 5# Gauge 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

FAQ
How long does sampling take?
7 working days for the first sample, with 5 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
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.
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
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.
Share the programme details and we will propose two alternatives — one optimised for unit cost, one for lead time — and let you choose.
