Melton Wool Fabric with Mercerised Finish for Boots
This melton wool 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 mercerised finish surface, the 240 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps boots 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 a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse, or MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
