Feather Trim with Piece-Dyed Finish for Caps
This feather trim is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the piece-dyed finish surface, the 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps caps 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or a compliance document that arrived after the goods were already shipped. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
