I'm looking for a\nmanufacturer to develop a premium jersey polo, starting with a sample round\nand then small production runs.\n\nThe full tech pack is attached. In short:\n- Body: 70% lyocell \/ 30% cotton jersey, about 200 GSM, athletic tailored\nfit\n- Collar and cuffs: rib, 98% cotton \/ 2% elastane. The collar is fused with\ncollar-stay pockets\n- Every visible seam topstitched with a decorative cross-stitch (continuous\nX) in thread matching the body colour\n- Genuine mother-of-pearl buttons (3 plus 1 spare)\n- Stacked VERKHO wordmark embroidered on the left chest (24.6 x 35 mm, 2\nthread colours plus a small amber accent)\n- Custom woven neck label, care label, and a woven logo tag folded over the\nleft sleeve cuff\n\nSample request: 6 pieces, 1 in size L in each of Olive, Navy, Yam, Ivory,\nKhaki and Charcoal, with lab dips first.\n\nCould you let me know:\n1. Can you produce the decorative cross-stitch seam? A photo of a similar\nseam you've made would help.\n2. Do you do the embroidery and woven labels in-house?\n3. Do you have experience with lyocell\/Tencel blend jersey?\n4. What would the sample round cost (development, lab dips, labels,\nembroidery setup, samples, shipping to California), and how long would it\ntake? My budget for this round is about $1,200.\n5. What are your production MOQs per colour, and roughly what would the\nunit price be at that quantity?\n\nThank you, I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nItai Holland\nVerkho | https:\/\/www.verkho.com\ninfo@verkho.com\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (Verkho-Polo-TechPack_6ad819d270373.pdf).

I appreciate the detailed information about your project.\n\nTo proceed, I need to gather some additional details:\n\n1. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you plan to produce per style and per colour? Please note that our minimum order quantity for polos is typically 200 units per style.\n\n2. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per polo?\n\n3. **Desired Delivery Date:** When do you aim to have the production completed?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n1. **Decorative Cross-Stitch Seam:** I cannot provide specific technical details or photos at this stage. These technical aspects will be addressed in the next phase by our production team.\n\n2. **Embroidery and Woven Labels:** These details will also be confirmed in the next phase.\n\n3. **Experience with Lyocell\/Tencel Blend Jersey:** Our production capabilities include working with various fabric blends, but specific technical questions will be addressed later.\n\n4. **Sample Round Cost and Timeline:** The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. The exact sample cost can only be confirmed after our team evaluates the Tech Pack. Typically, sampling takes about 6\u20138 weeks.\n\n5. **Production MOQs and Unit Price:** Our minimum order quantity for polos is 200 units per style.
