Waxed Cotton Cord with Anodised Finish for Trousers
This waxed cotton cord 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 20 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps trousers 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 cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or elastic that lost recovery after three washes. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
