The timelines and general \nproduction structure are clear, and we are interested in progressing the \nCHASER project to technical review.\n\nBefore we send through the development package, we would just like to \nclarify a few points regarding your sampling and MOQ structure.\n\nCHASER is currently developing one core men\u2019s performance quarter-zip golf \npolo style, with Size L as the governing first prototype size.\n\nCould you please confirm:\n\n*\twhether we can develop and pay for Prototype 1 independently before \ncommitting to a bulk production order;\n*\tif Prototype 1 requires changes, whether we can pay for a revised physical \nprototype\/sample before placing the final production order;\n*\twhether your 400-unit MOQ for one style means 400 units total, subject to \na minimum of 100 units per colour;\n*\twhether five colourways would therefore require a minimum total order of \n500 units;\n*\twhether the prototype and eventual bulk production would be developed in \nthe same factory\/sample room;\n*\twhether you can source YKK zippers and develop a custom engraved metal \nzipper puller;\n*\tand whether your team is experienced with lightweight polyester\/elastane \nperformance fabrics suitable for premium golf apparel.\n\nWe have a complete technical development package ready to send, including:\n\n*\tPrototype Development Request\n*\tPrototype 1 Factory Technical Packet\n*\tMaster CAD\n*\tBrand Artwork Pack\n\nOur target fabric is approximately 95% polyester \/ 5% elastane, 155 GSM \u00b15 \nGSM, with four-way stretch, moisture management, quick-dry performance and \ngood stretch recovery.\n\nRegarding quantities, our initial intention is to validate the product \nthrough prototype development before confirming the final production \nquantity and colour allocation.\n\nOnce the above points are confirmed, we will be happy to send the technical \npackage for review so that you can provide the development quotation.\n\nKind regards,\n\nTomas & Lachlan Silver\nCHASER\nchaser.golf26@gmail.com \nAustralia",

I'm glad to hear that the timelines and production structure are clear to you. Let's address your questions:\n\n1. **Prototype Development**: Yes, you can develop and pay for Prototype 1 independently before committing to a bulk production order.\n\n2. **Revised Prototype**: If changes are needed, you can pay for a revised physical prototype\/sample before placing the final production order.\n\n3. **MOQ Structure**: Our minimum order quantity for one style is 200-300 units, with a minimum of 100 units per color. For five colorways, you would need a minimum total order of 500 units.\n\n4. **Prototype and Production**: The prototype and eventual bulk production would be developed in the same factory\/sample room, ensuring consistency.\n\n5. **YKK Zippers and Custom Pullers**: We can source YKK zippers and develop a custom engraved metal zipper puller.\n\n6. **Fabric Experience**: Our team is experienced with lightweight polyester\/elastane performance fabrics suitable for premium golf apparel.\n\nOnce you are ready, please send over your complete technical development package, and our technical team will review it to provide a development quotation.\n\nLooking forward to your package and moving forward with your project.\n\nKind regards,",
