I came across Portugal Textile through your work\nconnecting startups with Portuguese manufacturers, and your flexible MOQ\napproach is exactly what we're looking for at this stage.\n\nWe're developing a men's boxer brief with a unique material story:\n\n\u2022 47% Merino Wool \/ 47% TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell \/ 6% Roica V550 (biodegradable\nstretch fiber)\n\u2022 Single jersey, 175\u2013185 GSM, tubular knit body\n\u2022 3D shaped pouch, flat-lock stitching, jacquard elastic waistband\n\u2022 Launch: 1 colorway (black), 4 sizes (S\u2013XL)\n\nEvery fiber in the garment is biodegradable \u2014 including the stretch. This\nis our core brand differentiator.\n\nWe have a detailed tech pack ready to share. What I'd like to understand:\n\n1. Can you connect us with a factory in your network experienced in\nmerino-blend knit underwear?\n2. What are realistic MOQs for a first production run in a single colorway?\n3. Can your network source Roica V550 yarn, or should we work directly with\nAsahi Kasei \/ an Italian mill?\n4. Approximate timeline from first contact to samples in hand?\n5. Ballpark unit costs at 100\u2013500 pieces?\n\nWe're pre-revenue and building carefully, but the goal is a long-term\nmanufacturing partnership as we scale.\n\nHappy to share the tech pack and discuss further at your convenience.\n\nBest,\nPablo\nFounder, Naked Grain\npablo@nakedgrain.co\nnakedgrain.co",

It's wonderful to see the level of detail and commitment to sustainability you're bringing to your brand, Naked Grain.\n\nTo answer your questions and provide you with an accurate analysis from our technical team, I'll need a few more details.\n\nRegarding your question on quantities, our minimum for underwear is 1,000 units per style and per color. This is necessary to meet the requirements of our specialized partner factories. Unfortunately, a run of 100-500 pieces would not be feasible.\n\nThe sampling process itself typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks once the project is underway. Any specific material sourcing, like the Roica V550 you mentioned, would be evaluated by our technical team once they review your designs.\n\nTo properly assess your project, could you please provide the following?\n\n1.  **Designs**: You mentioned having a Tech Pack ready. Could you please send it over?\n2.  **Quantities**: Bearing in mind the minimums, what is the total quantity you are looking to produce for this first run?\n3.  **Timeline**: What is your desired delivery date for the final production order?\n4.  **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.",

Tech pack is attached.\n2. Quantities: I understand the 1,000-unit minimum. For this first\nproduction run, I'm looking at a smaller initial order =E2=80=94 closer to =\n200=E2=80=93500\nunits across 4 sizes. I realize this is below your standard minimum, so I'd\nbe open to a higher per-unit cost to make a smaller run work. If that's not\npossible, I'd still appreciate a quote at 1,000 units so I can plan for\nscaling.\n3. Timeline: No hard deadline =E2=80=94 quality is the priority.\n4. Target price: I don't have a fixed target. I'd prefer to see your quote\nbased on the specs and let the numbers guide the conversation.\n\nI'd also be curious whether your technical team has experience sourcing\nRoica V550 yarn specifically, or whether I should arrange to supply it\ndirectly through Asahi Kasei.\n\nLooking forward to your assessment.\n\nBest regards,\nPablo\nNaked Grain\npablo@nakedgrain.co\n\nOn Fri, Mar 13, 2026 at 8:47=E2=80=AFPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Pablo,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us.
