Rib Knit Fabric with Glossy Enamel Coating for Down Jackets
This rib knit 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 400 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
