            "content": "Hello,My name is Pierre Vedovato and I am currently developing Clay Syndicate, a new technical apparel brand dedicated to clay shooting.The objective of the brand is to develop modern, functional and highly customizable technical garments specifically designed around the needs of clay shooters, rather than adapting generic outdoor product.For our first product, I am looking for a manufacturing partner able to develop and produce a technical thermal long-sleeve base layer for cold-weather clay shooting.The garment would be worn directly against the skin, underneath a shooting vest. During winter, shooters generally wear a softshell jacket over the shooting vest while waiting, but remove the jacket when entering the shooting stand. The base layer therefore needs to provide enough thermal protection to keep the shooter warm while remaining thin, flexible and completely unrestricted around the shoulders and arms.Our current technical target is:Fabric-Thermal brushed fabric-Preferably SITIP BLIZZARD PLX STONE \u2013 240 gsm, or a technically equivalent fabric-Polyester\/elastane construction-4-way stretch-Soft brushed inner surface-Smooth outer surface-Moisture management \/ quick drying-Good thermal insulation without excessive thickness-Suitable for full dye-sublimation printingFit and construction-Athletic\/slim fit-Close to the body but not high compression-Maximum shoulder and arm mobility-Suitable for repetitive shotgun mounting movements-Flatlock or low-profile seams where possible-Particular attention to seam positioning around the shoulder, underarm and upper chest areas-Customization-Full sublimation printing-Our own designs will be created internally using Adobe Illustrator-We therefore need your production templates, including bleed, seam positions and safe areas-Please specify the required file format and colour profilePrivate labelThis point is particularly important for us.We are not looking simply for customized teamwear carrying the manufacturer's branding. The objective is to sell the garment as a Clay Syndicate product.We would therefore like to know whether you can provide:-Clay Syndicate neck labels \/ printed neck branding-Size and care labels-Custom product labels-Individual packaging-Production without visible manufacturer brandingInitial production strategyClay Syndicate is currently at the launch stage.We deliberately want to begin with a very small first collection, validate the product in real shooting conditions and gather feedback before increasing production volumes.Could you therefore confirm:-Minimum order quantity-Minimum quantity per size-Possibility of mixing sizes within one production run-Possibility of producing several graphic designs using the same garment pattern-Possibility of producing a single fully customized prototype\/sample before productionFuture developmentIf the first product is successful, our objective is to progressively develop a technical clay-shooting apparel range and also offer customized versions for shooting clubs and teams.We are therefore looking for a manufacturing partner with whom we can build a long-term relationship and develop additional technical products in the future.Development and logisticsCould you please provide information regarding:-Prototype development process-Pattern development possibilities-Sample lead time-Production lead time-Shipping options to FranceFinally, could you provide an indication of your B2B pricing, excluding VAT, for:-1 fully customized prototype-10 units-25 units-50 units-100 unitsIf SITIP BLIZZARD PLX STONE is available through your supply chain, I would be particularly interested in testing this fabric. Otherwise, I would be happy to review technically equivalent thermal fabrics that you currently use.Thank you for your time.I would be very interested in discussing the technical feasibility of this project with your team.Best regards,Pierre VedovatoClay SyndicateFrance",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,Thank you for your quick and detailed reply.Please find below the additional information regarding the project.1. Tech Pack \/ Physical SampleAt this stage, I do not yet have a physical sample.The product is currently in the development phase, and I am preparing the technical specifications before creating the final Tech Pack.The intended product is a long-sleeve thermal base layer specifically designed for clay shooting, with the following main requirements:-Slim athletic fit, but not high compression-Maximum freedom of movement around the shoulders and arms-Flat or low-profile seams-Thermal brushed fabric-4-way stretch-Moisture management and quick drying-Full sublimation printing-Preferably SITIP BLIZZARD PLX STONE 240 gsm, or a technically equivalent fabric-Fully private label under the Clay Syndicate brandI can provide Adobe Illustrator artwork and work from your production templates once the garment construction and pattern are defined.2. QuantitiesFor the launch of Clay Syndicate, my initial strategy is deliberately based on small production runs in order to validate the product in real clay-shooting conditions before increasing volumes.My initial target would therefore be significantly below 200\u2013300 units per style.For the first production, I would ideally be looking at approximately 25 to 50 units, followed by larger quantities depending on market feedback.At this stage, I intend to develop one style, with potentially several graphic designs using the same pattern.I understand that this is below your standard MOQ. However, I would still be interested in knowing whether prototype development or a smaller pilot production could be considered before moving to your standard production quantities.3. Target PriceAs this is the first technical product developed for Clay Syndicate, I do not want to provide an unrealistic target price before understanding the construction, fabric cost and production requirements.I would therefore prefer to receive an indication from your technical and commercial teams of the expected production price for this type of garment at your standard MOQ.This would allow me to evaluate the feasibility of Portugal Textile as a manufacturing partner once the brand reaches larger production volumes.I would also be very interested in your technical team's feedback regarding:-Availability of SITIP BLIZZARD PLX STONE 240 gsm-Ability to source this fabric directly from SITIP-Full dye-sublimation compatibility-Flatlock seam construction-Private-label production without visible manufacturer branding-Prototype development possibilitiesThank you again for forwarding the project to your technical team.Even if my initial quantities are currently below your standard MOQ, I would be very interested in understanding whether the product is technically compatible with your manufacturing capabilities, as I am looking for a long-term production partner as Clay Syndicate develops.Best regards,Pierre VedovatoClay SyndicateFrance\n-------- Message d'origine --------De : Matilde Azevedo  Date : 10\/08\/2026  14:20  (GMT+01:00) \u00c0 : pierre.vedovato@live.fr Objet : Re: Private Label Manufacturing Inquiry \u2013 Technical Thermal Base Layer for Clay Shooting Hello Pierre,\n\nThank you for reaching out and sharing the vision for Clay Syndicate.

I understand your focus on developing a specialized thermal base layer for clay shooting.\n\nRegarding the quantities, our minimum order quantity for general clothing is strictly 200-300 units per style. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate production runs below this threshold. If you are able to increase your order to meet these minimums, we would be happy to proceed with evaluating your project further.\n\nAs for the Tech Pack, since you are still in the development phase, please let us know once you have the final specifications ready. This will be essential for our technical team to provide accurate feedback and pricing.\n\nRegarding your target price, I understand your position. However, to proceed, we do need a target production price per style from you. This helps our technical team assess the feasibility of your project.\n\nOnce you are ready to meet the minimum order quantities and can provide a target price, please let me know, and we can move forward with your project.\n\nThank you for considering Portugal Textile as a potential manufacturing partner. We look forward to the possibility of working together as your brand grows.\n\nBest regards.",
