Once the Academy Polo development is\nprogressing successfully, I would be interested in beginning discussions\nregarding the Competition Shirt and Premium Team Tracksuit as the next\nproducts in the collection.\n\nThank you again for the efficient communication.\n\nI look forward to receiving the technical evaluation and development\nquotation.\n\nBest regards,\n\nBal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth\nPresident & Head Coach\nPro Squash Akad\u00e9mia S.E.\nGy\u0151r, Hungary\n\n\n\nMatilde Azevedo  ezt \u00edrta (id\u0151pont: 2026. okt.\n29., Cs\u00fc 7:58):\n\n> Hello Bal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us with your project for the Pro Squash\n> Akad\u00e9mia premium apparel collection.

The final size breakdown will be confirmed before bulk\nproduction.\n\nFor clarity, the White colourway discussed previously is intended only for\ndevelopment\/sample evaluation at this stage and is not part of the initial\n200-unit bulk order.\n\nTherefore, the commercial basis for the initial production is:\n\n1 style \/ 1 colour \/ 200 units \u2013 Deep Navy Academy Polo.\n\n2. Target Production Price\n\nOur target production range remains \u20ac25\u201330 per unit EXW, with a maximum\ntarget production price of \u20ac30 per polo EXW for the initial 200-unit\nproduction.\n\nThis target assumes that the required premium quality level can be\nachieved, including the appropriate premium fabric, custom collar\/cuff\ndetailing, embroidery and branding.\n\nQuality remains our priority, so if your technical team identifies a\nspecific construction or material that would materially improve the product\nbut affects this target, I would prefer that this is communicated to me\nbefore any compromise is made to the specification.\n\n3. Desired Delivery Date\n\nOur original target was completion by the end of February 2027.\n\nIn your previous message, you kindly confirmed that this timeline appeared\nfeasible.\n\nIn your latest message, however, you mention a minimum lead time of five\nfull calendar months from the current date.\n\nCould you please clarify whether the five-month minimum includes the\ndevelopment\/prototype stage, or whether it starts only after final\nprototype approval and placement of the bulk production order?\n\nIf five full calendar months from now is the applicable minimum for the\ncomplete project, then we can adjust our target and work towards completion\nby the end of March 2027 \/ beginning of April 2027.\n\nThe quality and proper development of the product are more important to us\nthan accelerating production unnecessarily.\n\nWith these details confirmed, please proceed with completing the commercial\nevaluation.\n\nFollowing that, I would be pleased to receive the development quotation and\nmove into the technical development stage.\n\nFor clarity, I am currently confirming the commercial parameters for\nevaluation; the final 200-unit bulk production order will be placed after\nsuccessful development and approval of the final pre-production sample, in\naccordance with the process you previously confirmed.\n\nThank you again.\n\nBest regards,\n\nBal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth\nPresident & Head Coach\nPro Squash Akad\u00e9mia S.E.\nGy\u0151r, Hungary\n\n\n\nMatilde Azevedo  ezt \u00edrta (id\u0151pont: 2026. okt.\n29., Cs\u00fc 9:49):\n\n> Hello Bal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth,\n>\n> Thank you for your detailed message and for considering us for your\n> Academy Polo project.

However, please note that the approval of the physical prototype is essential before proceeding with bulk production.\n\nTo move forward, I will need to confirm your agreement with our standard financial and operational terms:\n\n- **Development Fees:** Costs depend on style (includes prototyping, sourcing, patterns, QC).\n- **Prints and Embroideries:** There is an additional initial cost for setting up local and digital prints, all-overs, and embroideries.\n- **Sample Cost:** The cost of a sample depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. The exact sample cost can only be confirmed after our team evaluates the Tech Pack or physical sample.\n- **Payment Terms:** 50% Advance \/ 50% Before Shipping (for both development and production).\n- **Shipping:** Ex-Works (Client manages\/pays shipping & insurance).\n- **Adjustments:** Can only be made after placing the final order.\n\nDo you agree to proceed under these terms?\n\nOnce we have your confirmation, we can discuss fabric options and proceed with the development stage.\n\nBest regards.",

                "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you again for your very quick and clear response.\n\nThe commercial framework you outlined is acceptable to us in principle,\nincluding the development fees, separate setup costs, 50% advance \/ 50%\nbefore shipping payment terms and EXW shipping.\n\nBefore formally confirming the development stage, I would like to clarify a\nfew points so that we have the same understanding of the development and\nproduction process.\n\n1. Prototype approval and adjustments\n\nYou mentioned that adjustments can only be made after placing the final\norder.\n\nCould you please clarify this point?\n\nOur preferred development process would be:\n\nTech Pack review \u2192 fabric selection \u2192 prototype \u2192 physical evaluation \u2192\nnecessary adjustments \u2192 final approved sample \u2192 bulk production.\n\nFor us, it is essential that reasonable adjustments to fit, fabric, collar\nconstruction, embroidery or detailing can be made after evaluating the\nphysical prototype and before committing to the 200-piece bulk production.\n\nOnce the final pre-production sample has been approved, we fully understand\nthat no further design changes should be made during bulk production.\n\nPlease confirm whether this corresponds with your normal development\nprocedure.\n\n2. MOQ and size distribution\n\nRegarding the minimum order quantity of 200 units per style, could you\nplease confirm whether the 200 pieces can be distributed across different\nsizes?\n\nFor example:\n\nS \/ M \/ L \/ XL \/ XXL = 200 pieces total.\n\nCould you also clarify whether the 200-unit MOQ applies per style or\nseparately per style and colour?\n\nFor example, would a production such as:\n\n140 Deep Navy + 60 White = 200 pieces total\n\nbe possible within one polo style?\n\nOr would the minimum requirement be:\n\n200 Deep Navy + 200 White?\n\nThis distinction is important for planning our first production.\n\n3. Development samples\n\nFor the development stage, we would ideally like to evaluate both of our\nprimary academy colourways:\n\n\u2022 Deep Navy \u2013 based on #0D1B2A\n\u2022 White \u2013 with navy and restrained warm-gold detailing\n\nIdeally, after the initial prototype has been developed and corrected, we\nwould like to evaluate S, M and L sizes in both colourways with full Pro\nSquash Akad\u00e9mia branding.\n\nThis would mean a final development\/size set of:\n\nDeep Navy: S \/ M \/ L\nWhite: S \/ M \/ L\n\nAll with the intended embroidery, collar\/cuff detailing and branding.\n\nHowever, we are open to your recommended sampling procedure.\n\nFor example, if you recommend developing and perfecting one Medium-size\nnavy prototype first, followed by the S\/M\/L navy and white size\/colour set\nafter approval, that would also be a logical approach for us.\n\nPlease advise which method you would recommend and what the associated\ndevelopment\/sample costs would be.\n\n4. Longer-term apparel collection\n\nI would also like to give you a clearer picture of our longer-term\nobjective.\n\nThe premium polo currently under discussion is primarily our Academy \/\nCoach \/ Representative Polo.\n\nIt is intended for coaches, academy management, team representation,\nevents, travel, partner meetings and premium club presentation.\n\nIt is not intended to be our primary professional competition shirt.\n\nIf the polo development is successful, we would be interested in developing\ntwo additional key products with the same manufacturer:\n\nProfessional Squash Competition Shirt\n\nA significantly lighter technical performance shirt designed specifically\nfor competitive squash, with priorities including:\n\n\u2022 very high breathability\n\u2022 rapid moisture transport\n\u2022 quick drying\n\u2022 low moisture retention\n\u2022 excellent freedom of movement\n\u2022 lightweight construction\n\u2022 durability under intensive training and competition use\n\nWe would expect this product to use a different technical fabric from the\nAcademy Polo.\n\nPremium Team Tracksuit\n\nWe are also interested in developing a high-quality matching tracksuit for\nplayers and coaches.\n\nOur objective would be a premium European teamwear product rather than\nconventional inexpensive polyester clubwear.\n\nThe tracksuit should have:\n\n\u2022 elegant athletic fit\n\u2022 premium matte appearance\n\u2022 excellent shape retention\n\u2022 stretch and freedom of movement\n\u2022 high-quality zippers and trims\n\u2022 deep navy base colour\n\u2022 restrained gold detailing\n\u2022 Pro Squash Akad\u00e9mia branding\n\u2022 comfortable construction suitable for travel, warm-up and team\npresentation\n\nOur intention is therefore not simply to purchase one batch of polo shirts.\n\nWe are looking for a manufacturing partner capable of gradually developing\na coherent, premium Pro Squash Akad\u00e9mia apparel collection with us.\n\nThe Academy Polo would be the first product and the quality benchmark for\nthe rest of the collection.\n\nIf your company has particular experience with premium technical teamwear,\nperformance shirts or tracksuits, I would be very interested to see\nrelevant fabric recommendations or examples at a later stage.\n\nOnce the points above are clarified, I will be happy to review the\ndevelopment quotation and proceed to the next stage.\n\nThank you again for the excellent and very responsive communication.\n\nI look forward to your recommendations.\n\nBest regards,\n\nBal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth\nPresident & Head Coach\nPro Squash Akad\u00e9mia S.E.\nGy\u0151r, Hungary\n\nMatilde Azevedo  ezt \u00edrta (id\u0151pont: 2026. okt.\n29., Cs\u00fc 7:58):\n\n> Hello Bal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us with your project for the Pro Squash\n> Akad\u00e9mia premium apparel collection.

                "content": "Hello Bal\u00e1zs N\u00e9meth,\n\nThank you for your detailed response and for outlining your requirements and long-term vision for the Pro Squash Akad\u00e9mia apparel collection. I appreciate your interest in establishing a comprehensive partnership with us.\n\n1. **Prototype Approval and Adjustments:**\n   - Our process allows for adjustments after the initial prototype evaluation. Once you receive the prototype, you can assess it and request reasonable adjustments to fit, fabric, collar construction, embroidery, or detailing. After these adjustments are made and the final pre-production sample is approved, no further design changes should be made during bulk production.\n\n2. **MOQ and Size Distribution:**\n   - The minimum order quantity of 200 units can indeed be distributed across different sizes, such as S \/ M \/ L \/ XL \/ XXL, totaling 200 pieces. However, the MOQ applies per style and per colour. Therefore, a production of 140 Deep Navy + 60 White would not meet the MOQ requirement. Each colour would need to meet the 200-unit minimum.\n\n3. **Development Samples:**\n   - We recommend developing and perfecting one Medium-size navy prototype first. After approval, we can proceed with the S\/M\/L navy and white size\/colour set. This approach ensures that the initial prototype meets your expectations before moving on to the full size set. The associated development\/sample costs will depend on the specific requirements and will be confirmed after evaluating the Tech Pack.\n\n4. **Longer-term Apparel Collection:**\n   - We are excited about the possibility of collaborating on your broader apparel collection. Our experience with premium technical teamwear and performance shirts aligns well with your objectives. Once the polo development is underway, we can discuss fabric recommendations and examples for the additional products you mentioned.\n\nPlease let me know if you have any further questions or if you are ready to proceed with the development stage.\n\nBest regards.",
