Old School started with vi=\nntage-inspired Springbok rugby jerseys and has grown into a sports heritage=\n and lifestyle brand, with licensed partnerships including the NBA, Manches=\nter City and Liverpool FC, as well as our own bespoke custom merchandise li=\nne.\n\nWe're looking for a manufacturing partner to produce a range of heritage-st=\nyle rugby jerseys. The look and quality we're aiming for is similar to bran=\nds such as Black & Blue 1871 and Ellis Rugby: classic, heavyweight cotton r=\nugby shirts with a vintage, worn-in feel. We saw that you work with heavywe=\night jerseys, custom dye washes and vintage finishes, which is why we're ge=\ntting in touch.\n\nWHAT WE'D LIKE TO MAKE\n\n=95 Heavyweight slub cotton jersey, around 380gsm\n=95 Classic rugby shirt construction, with a twill collar and a two-button =\nrubber placket\n=95 Vintage colour dyes with a distressed or garment wash for a pre-worn lo=\nok\n=95 Embroidered crests and badges\n=95 Reinforced hems\n=95 Solid colours, hoops and stripes\n\nQUESTIONS FOR YOU\n\n=95 Which factories in your network produce rugby shirts or similar heavywe=\night cotton knit garments, and could you share examples of their work?\n=95 What would the minimum order quantities be per style and per colourway =\nfor a rugby shirt like this?\n=95 Can the knitting, dyeing, washing and embroidery all be handled within =\nyour network?\n=95 What are your typical sampling and production lead times for this type =\nof garment?\n=95 Could you give us indicative pricing based on the details above? We wou=\nld also need to understand the duty payable to export to South Africa.\n=95 Which certifications do the relevant factories hold (for example OEKO-T=\nEX, GOTS or BSCI)?\n\nWe can send reference images, and we're happy to send physical reference sa=\nmples of similar shirts so you can see the weight, construction and finish =\nwe're after. A tech pack can follow once we've agreed the approach.\n\nWe'd welcome a call to discuss this further and, if there's a good fit, to =\narrange samples\n\nThank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\n\nJenni\n\n\n[cid:50495578-2527-4c7f-887d-08204ea8e2f1]\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (image_6ae36a3a838b6.png).
