Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Wool Melton with Flatlock Seam
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Wool Melton with flatlock seam for bridal and eveningwear studios. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is recovery after repeated stretching, because a bagged sleeve is dead — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered after the shipment lands. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing, or colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them. Test reports for CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same recovery after repeated stretching.
