I'm at supplier selection stage and Portugal\nTextile's positioning as a premium European sock manufacturer aligns with\nwhat I'm looking for.\n\nI'm developing a crew-length football grip sock \u2014 mid-premium, retail price\n\u00a317.99, targeting serious amateur footballers. European manufacturing\nquality is a deliberate choice for the brand, and I want a partner who can\nproduce at a level that justifies the price point.\n\nI'd like to explore:\n- Your capability for football grip socks \u2014 silicone grip application,\nperformance yarn construction\n- Custom OEM development \u2014 colourways, knit structure, branding, retail\npackaging\n- MOQ and indicative pricing at 500 and 1,000 pairs\n- Tech pack requirements to receive a formal quote\n- Sample process, lead time and cost\n\nI understand you typically require a tech pack to begin \u2014 I can provide a\ndetailed product brief. Could we arrange a short call to confirm whether\nthis is a good fit before I prepare that?\n\nBest regards,\nConnor\nFounder, ctrl Football Co.",
