Our team has established\nexperience in sales, marketing and IT\/telematics, and we are now bringing\nthat experience into menswear as a long-term business venture, with a\nstrong focus on quality, details and accessible premium positioning.\n\nWe have completed our brand registration and business model, and are\ncurrently at the product research and development stage. In the Australian\nmarket, R.M.Williams and Rodd & Gunn are strong reference brands, and our\ninitial strategy is to build CHOGUN around a simple, recognisable brand\nidentity and premium-quality polo shirts.\n\nFor our first production, we are intentionally looking at a relatively\nsmall quantity so we can refine the product, manufacturing process and fit,\nwhile also validating market demand before scaling.\n\nWe do not have a Tech Pack yet. We are particularly looking for\nhigh-quality, traceable cotton and, importantly, a manufacturing partner\nwho can work with us through this development stage and potentially build a\nlong-term partnership as CHOGUN grows.\n\nWe would be happy to discuss the available polo styles and fabrics you\nbelieve would be most suitable for our positioning.\n\nKind regards,\nSam\n\nOn Thu, Sep 3, 2026 at 2:19\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Sam,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and considering us for your premium menswear\n> brand.

At the same time, as we are launching a new brand, having a manufacturing partner who can be flexible and supportive during the initial development stage is particularly important to us \u2014 not simply a supplier focused on order quantities.  We are happy to discuss further if you feel CHOGUN could be a good fit for your capabilities.  Kind regards, SamSent from my iPhoneOn 4 Sep 2026, at 3:44\u202fpm, Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com> wrote:\ufeffHello Sam,\n\nThank you for the additional information.
