            "content": "Dear Team,\n\nPlease find attached *LAYN=E2=80=99s updated ten-style sampling tech pack, =\ndraft\nv0.7*. This replaces our earlier nine-style pack. Please use this version\nfor future technical reviews and quotations.\n\nThe collection now comprises:\n\n   1. Performance quarter-zip top\n   2. Hooded full-zip training jacket\n   3. Hoodless full-zip training jacket\n   4. Layered modest training top\n   5. Performance leggings\n   6. Wide-leg performance trousers\n   7. Flowing wide-leg trousers\n   8. Performance hijab\n   9. Studio grip socks\n   10. Longline studio sports bra\n\n*Key updates*\n\n   - Coordinated colour options: *Onyx, Mushroom, Ivory, Rose Clay and\n   Forest*. Matching physical shades are required across different fabrics\n   and sock yarns, subject to approval.\n   - The layered crew-neck modest top replaces the previous long-sleeve tee=\n.\n   - Quarter-zip and layered-top hand covers require a separate thumb\n   opening and one shared four-finger opening. Silicone grip belongs\non the *palm-facing\n   fabric only*, with wrists, forearms and backs of hands plain.\n   - Leggings have no side pockets or pocket openings, with branding on the\n   front and centred rear waistband. Please assess the proposed no-front-se=\nam\n   construction.\n   - The sports bra is a new development concept. Its cup range, support\n   level and full size grading remain to be established.\n\n*Please review and confirm:*\n\n   1. Which styles you can manufacture directly and which require\n   specialist partners.\n   2. Any technical concerns, missing specifications or recommended\n   changes. Please identify proposed deviations explicitly rather than maki=\nng\n   substitutions.\n   3. Proposed fabric options, specifications, stock colours and physical\n   swatch availability. The leggings target remains *87% nylon \/ 13%\n   elastane*; quarter-zip fabric options remain subject to assessment.\n   4. Revised sample fees, identifying included patterns, branding,\n   silicone trials, fit revisions, tooling, testing and UK delivery charges=\n.\n   5. Feasible bulk quantities and indicative EXW pricing at *50, 75 and\n   100 pieces per style\/colour*, with mixed S=E2=80=93XL sizes where applic=\nable.\n   Identify separate material and process minimums; quote hijab and socks\n   using appropriate size allocations.\n   6. Sample, revision and bulk lead times, specifying working or calendar\n   days and quoting UK transit separately.\n\nOur first sampling priorities remain *LAYN-QZ-001 quarter-zip and\nLAYN-PL-001 leggings*. Please prioritise these for detailed review and\ncosting. The full palette represents collection options, not an order for\nevery style in every colour.\n\nAll measurements and construction proposals remain provisional. Please\nreview the measuring methods and proposed tolerances, and flag any changes\nneeded before cutting. Physical fabric approval will precede garment\nsampling; bulk production requires separate written approval following\nsample assessment.\n\nPlease treat the attachment as confidential and confirm receipt. Where\ncompany verification, confidentiality documentation or factory walkthrough\narrangements remain outstanding, please include an update.\n\n*This email requests technical review and quotation only. No chargeable\nsourcing, material purchases, development, sampling or production is\nauthorised.*\n\nBest regards,\n\nJunaid Ali\nFounder, LAYN\n\n*Attachment:* LAYN_Ten_Style_Sampling_Tech_Pack_DRAFT_v0.7.pdf\n\n\nOn Thu, 30 Jul 2026 at 3:54=E2=80=AFam, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Junaid,\n>\n> Thank you for your understanding and for providing further details.
