Grosgrain Ribbon with Anodised Finish for Coats
This grosgrain ribbon is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the anodised finish surface, the 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps coats 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 an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

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.
