It is a pleasure to learn about Ride & Tide and your focus on high-quality, clean-designed apparel.\n\nYou asked about our certifications. We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\nRegarding lead times, our production cycle is structured to maintain the high standards of Portuguese manufacturing. It typically takes around five months from start to finish. Considering the annual factory closures in August, the earliest feasible delivery for a project starting now would be around September 2026.\n\nTo get a better sense of your project and see how we can best assist, I just have a couple of questions. First, I was wondering if you have already developed a Tech Pack for your T-shirts and sweatshirts, or perhaps a physical sample that you could send to our office here in Portugal? Also, to understand the scope of your first drop, could you let me know the quantity you are planning to produce for each style, and what your target production price is for each of those styles?\n\nThis information will help me to properly evaluate your collection's needs.",

I have received the file perfectly.\n\nAfter reviewing the quantities for your first drop, I need to clarify our minimums, as these are necessary to begin a production run.\n\nFor garments like the T-shirts and sweatshirts you have designed, our minimum order quantity is 200 units per style. For brands looking to produce smaller runs of simpler, pre-made basics, a service like www.privatelabelclothes.com can sometimes be a suitable option to explore.\n\nFor the other items you mentioned, our minimums are different. For caps, the production starts at 500 units per style, and for socks, the minimum is 1,000 units per style and per color.\n\nPlease let me know if you are able to work with these quantities. If that is the case, I will be glad to move forward with a more detailed analysis of your project.",
