Hair Canvas with Nickel-Free Electroplating for Socks
This hair canvas is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the nickel-free electroplating surface, the 12 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps socks 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 MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style, or a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.

Which compliance documents do you provide?
California Prop 65 documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
How long does sampling take?
