            "content": "Hi\n\nI am starting a small clothing project in Denmark and I am looking for a\nmanufacturer for boxer briefs. I would rather pay for it to be done\nproperly than get it done cheaply, so quality matters more to me than price.\n\nTHE PRODUCT\n\nMen's boxer briefs in undyed organic cotton, in the natural raw off-white\nof the unbleached fibre, with a fly opening at the front. No dye at all if\npossible, and GOTS certified.\n\nThe waistband is the part that matters most. It should be a woven jacquard\nelastic, roughly 38 mm wide, in the same off-white as the fabric, with the\nwords MAKE DENMARK GREAT AGAIN woven into it in a slightly darker sand\nbeige, repeating around the band, set in a classic roman serif with\ngenerous letterspacing. The contrast should be quiet and tone on tone, not\nbold. I have attached a reference image showing exactly what I mean.\n\nApart from the waistband there should be no other branding on the garment.\n\nWHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW\n\n1. What is your minimum order quantity for a custom style like this, per\nsize and colour?\n\n2. Can you source or produce the woven jacquard waistband, or should I\nsupply it? If you can source it, what does the weaving setup cost as a\none-off, and what is the price per metre?\n\n3. What would 100 pairs cost, and what would 150 and 250 cost, so I can see\nwhere the price settles?\n\n4. What does a pattern and a fitting sample cost, and how long does it\ntake? I would want to approve a physical sample in size medium before any\nproduction run.\n\n5. What is your lead time from approved sample to delivery?\n\n6. Which organic cotton qualities do you work with for underwear, and what\nweight would you recommend for this? I want something that feels\nsubstantial rather than thin.\n\n7. Do you ship to Denmark, and roughly what does that cost?\n\nThis is a first small run to see whether the product works. If it does, it\nbecomes a repeat order, and there are two other garments in the same line\nthat may follow.\n\nPlease let me know if you need anything else to quote.\n\nBest regards\nNicklas Schouw\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (MDGA-elastik_6a9b165e59bc4.png, MDGA_Underbukser_6a9b165e5a64c.jpg).

            "content": "Hello Nicklas,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us with your project details. I appreciate your focus on quality and sustainability for your men's boxer briefs.\n\nTo proceed, I need to confirm a few key details:\n\n1. **Quantities:** Our minimum order quantity for underwear is 1,000 units per style and per colour. Could you confirm if you are able to meet this MOQ?\n\n2. **Target Price:** Could you please provide your maximum target production price per pair of boxer briefs?\n\n3. **Delivery Date:** What is your desired delivery date for the boxer briefs?\n\nRegarding your questions:\n\n- We can source the woven jacquard waistband. However, the specific setup costs and price per metre can only be confirmed after our technical team reviews the design details.\n\n- The cost of a pattern and fitting sample depends on the complexity of the design. We can only confirm this after evaluating the Tech Pack.\n\n- Our lead time from approved sample to delivery is approximately 10\u201314 weeks, but this depends on the final order details and production schedule.\n\n- We work with various organic cotton qualities suitable for underwear, and the recommended weight will depend on the specific feel and durability you desire.\n\n- We operate on an Ex-Works basis, meaning you would manage and pay for shipping to Denmark. The cost would depend on the shipping method and volume.\n\nPlease let me know if you can meet the MOQ and provide your target price so we can proceed further.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

            "content": "Hello Matilde\n\nThank you for the quick and detailed reply.\n\nA minimum of 1,000 units per style and per colour is far beyond what this\nproject needs, so I will not be ordering at that quantity. I would rather\nsay that plainly now than take up more of your time.\n\nTo be clear about where I stand: this was an enquiry to find out what is\npossible, not a purchase. The first run I have in mind is in the tens, not\nthe thousands, because the whole point of it is to find out whether the\nproduct works at all before committing to anything larger.\n\nThank you for the clear answers on the waistband, the lead times and the\nEx-Works terms. That was genuinely useful. If the project ever grows to a\nscale that fits your minimums, I know where to find you.\n\nBest regards\nNicklas Schouw Nielsen\n\nOn Fri, Sep 4, 2026 at 9:05\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Nicklas,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out to us with your project details.
