The product is a\nreversible beanie: two jersey layers, one black and one white, sewn at the\nseams only, not bonded, finished on both sides so it can be worn either\nway. One screen printed artwork per layer, approx. 20 cm, different on each\nface, placed off-centre. Fitted shape, 4 darts, thin hem, no cuff. One\nsize, head 54-68 cm.\n\nFirst order 100 pcs, with a second colourway planned for June 2027.\nSamples approved 15 November, order placed 25 November.\n\nFour questions:\n\n1. Do you produce beanies as well as bucket hats? This is the same\ncut-and-sew logic, in jersey.\n2. Can you screen print on flat panels before assembly, a different artwork\non each layer, and how do you handle dye migration when printing white on\ndyed black fabric?\n3. Fabric: matte polyamide\/elastane or polyester\/elastane, black and white\nfrom the same mill.\n4. MOQ, unit price at 100 and 200 pcs, sample cost and lead time, one-off\ncosts separately.\n\nThank you,\nHerouane\nYNGWAY\nherouanendi@gmail.com",

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for the reply. Here is what I can answer straight away.\n\nQUANTITY. 100 pieces, one single colourway, one single size. Your MOQ of\n100 per style and colour works for me exactly as it is. A second colourway\nof the same construction is planned for 2027.\n\nTECH PACK. I have a placement sheet with dimensions, artwork position and\nprint tolerances, and a written specification. I do not have a physical\nsample - that is what I am trying to produce. I can send the placement\nsheet today if you confirm the project is within your scope.\n\nDELIVERY. Production order placed 25 November, delivery in January. Being\ninside the EU, your transit time gives us real margin compared to an Asian\nsupplier, which is one of the reasons I wrote to you.\n\nTARGET PRICE. I am not going to give you a maximum target price, and I\nwould rather tell you why than stay vague. If I give you my ceiling, I get\nquoted my ceiling. I want your price, built on your costs.\n\nWhat I can tell you is this: I already have quotations from Asia. I am\nwilling to pay meaningfully more to produce in Europe - shorter lead time,\nno customs, no import VAT to advance, and a European origin that means\nsomething to my customers. But I am not willing to pay more without knowing\nwhat I am paying for.\n\nTHE TECHNICAL QUESTION. I understand the production team answers later in\nyour process. But I have to be honest with you about how I am choosing.\n\nI am not selecting a supplier on price. I am selecting on one thing: how\nthe factory answers the white-on-black question.\n\nMy product is a white artwork printed on dyed black jersey. On dyed fabric,\nthe dye migrates into white ink and the print turns pink or grey within\nweeks. Every supplier says yes to everything. The one who tells me how they\nstop it - or tells me honestly that they have not solved it - is the one I\nwork with.\n\nSo I am not asking for a full technical study. I am asking for one\nparagraph from your production team, on that single point. If they can send\nit, I will send the placement sheet and we go forward properly. If the\nprocess does not allow it at this stage, tell me and I will wait - but I\ncannot commit before it is answered.\n\nOne small thing: I received your message three times this morning,\nidentical. You may have a duplicate in your sending system.\n\nThank you,\nHerouane\nYNGWAY\nherouanendi@gmail.com\n\nOn Wed, Sep 23, 2026 11:27 AM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Herouane,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your reversible beanie project\n> for YNGWAY.

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for being clear about the timeline. That settles it, and I would\nrather say so honestly than keep you working on a file that cannot close.\n\nA February 2027 delivery does not work for this project. My launch is early\nFebruary, so the goods have to be in France in January. That is not a\nnegotiation point on my side - it is the date the whole plan is built on.\nSo for this first production I will go elsewhere.\n\nI am not writing this as a rejection. I am writing it because I would like\nto keep you for what comes next, and I would rather be straight with you\nnow than disappear.\n\nTwo things, if you are willing.\n\n1. FOR 2027. My second colourway is planned for mid-2027, same\nconstruction, same quantity, and by then I will not be fighting a deadline.\nBeing inside the EU - no customs, no import VAT to advance, a sample\ncorrected in two weeks instead of six - is worth a lot to me. I would\ngenuinely prefer to produce in Portugal once the calendar allows it. Can I\ncome back to you in spring with the same file?\n\n2. THE TECHNICAL QUESTION, one last time - and now it costs you nothing.\n\nThere is no commercial file to complete any more, no target price to\nextract, no order at stake. So I am simply asking, as one person asking\nanother who knows the trade:\n\nWhen your factory prints white on dyed black jersey, how do you stop the\ndye migrating into the ink and turning the print pink over a few weeks?\n\nI am going to produce this beanie somewhere. If your production team knows\nthe answer, it will help me judge the factory I do end up using - and it\nwill tell me a lot about whether I should come back to you in spring. One\nparagraph is enough.\n\nThank you for your time, and no hard feelings about the timeline - a\nfactory that tells me the truth about its lead time is a factory I want to\nwork with later.\n\nHerouane\nYNGWAY\nherouanendi@gmail.com\n\nOn Wed, Sep 23, 2026 05:03 PM, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Herouane,\n>\n> Thank you for providing more details about your project.\n>\n> Regarding your points:\n>\n> - *Quantities:* Your order of 100 pieces per style and colour fits our\n> MOQ for accessories like beanies.\n>\n> - *Tech Pack:* You mentioned having a placement sheet with dimensions and\n> specifications.
