This one should fit.\n\nGKBS has been asked by Ford Racing to develop and produce an outerwear\ncollection, and we are looking for a full-package partner in Europe. Five\njackets (softshell, shell, sherpa, puffer, parka), two sweats and a trim\npackage, all with custom patterns and custom trims. Ford wants prices at\n250, 500 and 1000 pieces per style. Quality level is premium retail, not\npromo.\n\nAttached is our RFQ with all details and questions per style, plus the\ndesign studio deck as reference. Please treat it as confidential.\n\nWhat we need: unit prices EXW at the three quantities, sample and tooling\ncosts, timeline and production locations. \n\nIf not every style fits your network, just tell us which ones you can do.\nFord decides the final selection based on pricing, and sampling should\nstart right after.\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (GKBS_RFQ_Ford_Racing_Outerwear_6a9ad3ce46118.pdf, KD_2026_Outerwear_Collection_08_21_26_6a9ad3d03e8f8.pdf, GKBS_6a9ad3d33ed20.png).

You mentioned 250, 500, and 1000 pieces per style, but I need to confirm if these are the final quantities you intend to proceed with.\n\n2. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per style?

            "content": "Hi Matilde,thanks for the quick reply. Here are the three points:\t1.\tQuantitiesFord will decide the final quantities based on pricing, which is why we asked for the three tiers. Please calculate with 500 pieces per style as the most likely scenario and show 250 and 1000 as alternatives. For the two styles with two colourways (Shell Jacket, Puffer Jacket) the quantity is per colourway.\t2.\tTarget priceWe do not have a fixed budget from Ford. To give you an orientation, these are the numbers we would like to see at 500 pieces, EXW, fully finished including trims and decoration. They are calculated tight on purpose:\t\u2022\tSoft Shell Jacket: 45 EUR\t\u2022\tShell Jacket: 28 EUR\t\u2022\tHigh Pile Sherpa Jacket: 30 EUR\t\u2022\tPuffer Jacket: 60 EUR with recycled synthetic filling, 75 EUR with down\t\u2022\tPuffer Parka: 80 EUR with recycled synthetic filling, 100 EUR with down\t\u2022\tMustang Half Zip and 1901 Crewneck: 20 EURIf your calculation lands above these numbers, that is fine, please quote anyway and show what drives the price. What we will not compromise on is quality. This is premium streetwear at retail level, not promotional merchandise. The puffer reference is 100% polyamide with synthetic filling, so please quote recycled synthetic as standard and down as an option.The RFQ is running in parallel with other European partners, Ford decides based on price, quality and lead time.\t3.\tDeliverySampling should start in October. Bulk delivery to Vienna by end of February 2027. Please tell us if that is realistic with your current capacity.Happy to jump on a call this or next week if that speeds things up.Liebe Gr\u00fc\u00dfe Linus Merlin ReschGOOD KIDS BAD SOCIETYwww.gkbs.eu +43699\/180 44 875office.gkbs@gmail.comWIERHANDELN OGNeubaugasse 27\/151070 Wien\u00d6sterreichUID: ATU69796116Am 04.09.2026 um 16:21 schrieb Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com>:\ufeffHello,\n\nThank you for reaching out and providing the detailed information and files for the Ford Racing outerwear collection.

Your target prices are noted, and I understand the importance of maintaining premium quality.\n\nRegarding the quantities, we will proceed with calculations based on 500 pieces per style as the most likely scenario, with 250 and 1000 as alternatives.\n\nFor the delivery timeline, starting sampling in October and aiming for bulk delivery to Vienna by the end of February 2027 is feasible. However, please note that our production lead times and the factory closure period in December may affect the timeline slightly. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule.\n\nUnfortunately, we do not schedule calls at this initial stage. Once we receive all the required details and our technical team approves your project, they will contact you directly to arrange a meeting.\n\nPlease let me know if you have any flexibility regarding the target prices for the Shell Jacket, High Pile Sherpa Jacket, Mustang Half Zip, and 1901 Crewneck, as these are slightly below our standard pricing for similar products.\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,",
