Define the end use
State the garment or product, target market, panel location and whether the benchmark is visual, functional or both. This prevents a mill from optimising the wrong feature.
Provide measurable targets
Include composition preference, GSM, finished width, stretch direction, hand, surface, colour, finish, target quantity, MOQ constraints and any required test methods or acceptance thresholds.
Separate targets from verified results
Development targets guide sampling; they are not production-lot test certificates. Agree the test method and acceptance threshold before bulk, then confirm the approved construction and production specification in writing.
Use this as sourcing guidance.
Final fabric suitability depends on the approved specification, processing route, garment construction and agreed test requirements.
