Knitted Elastic with Pearlescent Coating for Sportswear
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 pearlescent coating surface, the 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sportswear 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
