I'm excited to hear about your new premium menswear line.\n\nTo assist you further, I need to gather some specific details about your project:\n\n1. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us for the lightweight nylon hooded jacket?\n\n2. **Quantities:** What is the total quantity you intend to produce per style? Our minimum order quantity for jackets is 200 units per style.\n\n3. **Target Price:** What is your maximum target production price per jacket?\n\n4. **Desired Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the jackets?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We can create a physical sample from your concept designs, but the exact sample cost depends on the specific product and complexity of the design. We only develop one sample per style for initial approval.\n- We do not provide pattern development or create production Tech Packs at this stage.\n- Custom branding, labels, packaging, and zip-puller options can be discussed once the project details are confirmed.\n- Shipping is Ex-Works, meaning you would manage and pay for shipping and insurance.\n\nPlease provide the above details so we can proceed with evaluating your project.\n\nKind regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",
