I appreciate the overview of \nAbsolutarget and your development and production process.\n\nWe are launching Vantae Performance as a premium performance apparel brand, \nand quality, fit, fabric hand-feel, construction, and finishing are \nextremely important to us.\n\nI would like to begin by evaluating development of our Vantae Performance \nTee, style VT-PT01. We have a technical package prepared that I can provide \nfor your review.\n\nBefore moving forward, I would like to clarify a few points:\n\n1.\tCan the initial prototype be fully reviewed and revised before we commit \nto the final production order?\n2.\tHow many fit\/sample revisions are typically required before PPS approval?\n3.\tPlease explain the cost structure for revised samples and PPS samples.\n4.\tCan you source premium performance fabrics in approximately the 180\u2013220 \nGSM range based on the specifications in our tech pack?\n5.\tCan you provide fabric swatches before the prototype is produced?\n6.\tAre you able to perform or arrange testing for shrinkage, colorfastness, \npilling, dimensional stability, and moisture-management properties?\n7.\tCan you provide examples or references for performance\/athletic apparel \nyou have previously produced?\n8.\tIs the MOQ of 200\u2013300 units per style negotiable for an initial \nproduction run?\n9.\tPlease provide an estimated development cost and estimated production \nprice range after reviewing VT-PT01.\n10.\tPlease confirm whether we can arrange insured shipping to the United \nStates through one of your logistics partners rather than managing EXW \nshipping ourselves.\n\nOur objective is to develop a long-term manufacturing relationship as Vantae \nexpands into additional performance apparel products, so we want to make \nsure the first style establishes the quality standard for the brand.\n\nThank you,\nMitchell\nVantae Performance\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (VANTAE_Official_Monogram_Primary_6abe4871ebb69.pdf, VANTAE_Performance_Tee_Tech_Pack_v3_6abe4871f34fd.pdf).
