At this stage we are sharing only a high-level\ndescription; the full technical pack (measurements, bill of materials,\nconstruction details, graded patterns, QC protocol) will be shared after a\nmutual NDA is signed.\n\nProduct at a glance\n\nMen's boxer brief, sizes S\u2013XXL\nBody: merino \u00d7 modal jersey knit, ~160\u2013170 g\/m\u00b2, with elastane for\nstretch\/recovery\nLeg openings and critical seams: thermo-bonded (welded film \u2014 no elastic\nleg band)\nWaistband: foam-sandwich construction with internal elastic (no skin\ncontact)\nA specific pouch construction (details provided after NDA)\nLaunch with a single colorway, additional colors added later\nTo help us plan and compare, could you please answer the questions below?\n\n1. Capabilities & feasibility\n\nCan you produce this type of garment in-house? Which operations, if any,\nare subcontracted?\nDo you have thermo-bonding \/ welding capability (heat-press film bonding,\nadjustable temperature, narrow bond widths)?\nDo you have circular \/ tubular knitting capability, or can you source\nknitted components with a seamless closed edge?\nWhich stitch types are available (flatlock, overlock, coverstitch, stretch\nzigzag)?\n2. Prototyping\n\nEstimated sample cost for a first set of prototypes in size M (we plan to\ntest a few construction variants)?\nLead time for the first samples, and for each revision round?\nHow many fit\/revision rounds are included before the pre-production sample?\nIs the sample fee refundable \/ deductible against a bulk order?\n3. MOQ & production pricing\n\nWhat is your MOQ \u2014 per style, per colorway, and per size?\nFOB unit price at the following tiers: 300 \/ 500 \/ 1,000 \/ 2,000 \/ 5,000\npieces?\nWhat is the minimum knitting \/ fabric order per color? (Since we launch\nwith one color, this is important \u2014 please be specific about the smallest\nviable first run.)\nProduction lead time at each tier?\nPayment terms (deposit % on order, balance conditions)?\n4. Materials & sourcing\n\nCan you source the materials (merino\/modal knit body, knitted components,\nbonding film, foam, elastic), or should we supply them? If you source:\nindicative price\/meter and the merino qualities you can offer.\nLab-dip process, cost, and turnaround for our single launch color?\nAre your materials and finished goods OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (or equivalent)\ncertifiable, and REACH-compliant?\n5.

Compliance, labelling & quality\n\nCan you produce composition + care labels and woven brand labels to EU\nmarket requirements?\nDo you inspect to a defined AQL standard? Can you accommodate a 100%\ncritical inspection point on a specific detail we will define in the tech\npack?\n7. Design, pattern & brand support\n\nDo you have in-house pattern-making \/ modelling that can refine and\nfinalize our sketches and technical drawings?\nCan your technical team optimize the construction for manufacturability and\nsuggest alternatives where our spec is difficult or costly?\nDo you offer full-range grading from a base size M?\nDo you offer support with packaging sourcing\/design, or private-label \/\nbrand-launch services (e.g. product photography)?\nCan you share a portfolio or references of similar products you have\nmanufactured?\n8. Ways of working & next steps\n\nAt this stage we prefer to proceed by email. Is that workable for a first\nestimate?\nAre you open to signing a mutual NDA so we can share the full technical\npack and detailed BOM?\nWho would be our main technical\/commercial contact, and in which language?\nWe are ready to move quickly on prototyping and are looking for a reliable\nlong-term partner.
