We're looking to move to a European manufacturing partner for\nthis next run.\n\nI want to reach out to see ways we can work together. Got a few questions\nbeforehand:\n1. Do you do Men's Boxer Briefs and Briefs? What other styles do you do?\n2.  Do you work with modal fabric, specifically an organic cotton \/ modal \/\nelastane blend (our current spec is 47% cotton, 46% modal, 7% elastane)?\n3. We are currently looking for around 1,000 units across S \/ M \/ L \/ XL\nacross 3 colorways.\n4. Do you offer custom waistband branding (jacquard)? Also, if you see\nbelow, there are 2 tags on the waistband, that we'd like to replicate.\n5. What are your typical lead times from sample approval to delivery?\n6. What does your sampling process look like, and what is the cost?\n7. Could you provide an estimated cost per unit?\n\nPlease find additional product details here:\nhttps:\/\/tactocollective.com\/products\/boxer-briefs-remix\n\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest,\n\nLuis\n-- \n*Luis Casa\u00f1as*\nFounder | Tacto Collective\n*Wear Your Rhythm. *\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (https:\/\/tactocollective.com\/products\/boxer-briefs-remix).

            "content": "Hello Luis,\n\nThank you for contacting us and for your interest in producing with us in Portugal. It's great to see what you are building with TACTO Collective.\n\nYes, we specialize in men's underwear, including boxer briefs and briefs, and can certainly source specific fabric blends like the organic cotton\/modal mix you mentioned. Custom branding, such as jacquard waistbands and tags, is also something we handle, though these are quoted separately.\n\nBefore we go further, I'd like to clarify two key aspects of our production. For underwear, our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 1,000 units per style and also per color. In terms of timing, a typical production cycle from start to finish takes about 5 months, which allows us to ensure the high quality that Portuguese manufacturing is known for.\n\nIf these conditions are workable for you, I would just need a few more details to properly analyze your project.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate analysis, I need the following details:\n1.  **Designs**: Do you have a Tech Pack for these styles, or a physical sample you could send to our office in Portugal?\n2.  **Timeline**: What is your specific desired delivery date in mid-2026?\n3.  **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.",

The softness of the fabric is\na key element I want to either maintain (minimum) or improve (desirable).\n\nRegarding the MOQs, this could be possible, depending on price per unit.\nAfter reviewing this, please send me an estimated price per unit and I'll\nbe able to confirm the MOQ.\n\nBest,\n\nLuis\n--=20\n*Luis Casa=C3=B1as*\nFounder | Tacto Collective\n*Wear Your Rhythm. *\n\n\nOn Mon, 13 Apr 2026 at 13:12, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Luis,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in producing with us in\n> Portugal.
