I appreciate your interest in partnering with us for your premium casualwear line.\n\nTo proceed, I need to clarify a few points regarding our capabilities and requirements:\n\n1. **Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ):** Our minimum order for T-shirts is strictly 200 units per style. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate an initial order of 100 units. If you are open to increasing your order to meet this minimum, please let me know.\n\n2. **Pricing and Quotations:** We do not provide price estimates or quotations at this stage. Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team analyzes your Tech Pack or Physical Sample and confirms the final quantities. However, I do need to know your target production price per style to proceed.\n\n3. **Tech Pack or Physical Sample:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample that you can send us? This is essential for us to evaluate your project accurately.\n\n4. **Timeline:** What is your desired delivery date for the initial production run?\n\nOnce we have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps. Please let me know if you are willing to adjust your order quantity to meet our minimums, and provide the additional information requested.\n\nThank you for considering us as your manufacturing partner.

Please confirm whether this is possible or whether 200\nunits are required per colour.\n\nRegarding the target production price, our target range for the finished\ngarment is approximately:\n\n=E2=82=AC14=E2=80=9316 per unit, excluding VAT,\n\ndepending on the final fabric, construction, finishing and branding.\n\nIdeally, this would include the finished garment and standard private-label\nelements such as:\n\n   - NORTH \/ WEST neck label\n   - composition\/care label\n   - label application\n   - standard individual packaging\n\nI understand that the final price can only be confirmed after your\ntechnical team reviews the Tech Pack.\n\nWe do not yet have a finalized production Tech Pack, as we are currently at\nthe supplier-selection and product-development stage. However, I can\nprepare a detailed Tech Pack including measurements, fit references, fabric\nrequirements, construction details, labels and finishing specifications for\nyour technical team.\n\nIf useful, I can also provide reference images or send a physical reference\ngarment representing the fit and quality level we are targeting.\n\nRegarding timing, our preferred objective would be to have the first\nproduction delivered by late October \/ early November 2026. However,\nquality is more important to us than rushing the production, so I am open\nto discussing a realistic timeline based on sampling and production\ncapacity.\n\nCould you please also confirm:\n\n   1. Whether the 200-unit MOQ can be divided between two colours.\n   2. Whether 220, 240 or 250 GSM premium cotton jersey is available.\n   3. Your approximate sampling and production lead times.\n   4. Whether you provide Tech Pack development assistance if required.\n   5. Whether you can provide available fabric references or a fabric\n   catalogue before final Tech Pack development.\n\nIf the first production performs well, the intention is to move into larger\nproduction quantities and additional styles, including overshirts,\nknitwear, trousers and outerwear.\n\nFor this reason, we are looking for a manufacturing partner with whom we\ncan build a longer-term relationship rather than only produce one initial\norder.\n\nThank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\n\nJakub\nNORTH \/ WEST\n\npt., 7 sie 2026 o 15:55 Matilde Azevedo \nnapisa=C5=82(a):\n\n> Hello Jakub,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about your\n> brand, NORTH \/ WEST.

            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for the clarification and for forwarding the project to your\ntechnical team.\n\nI am very pleased to hear that the 200-unit MOQ can be divided between two\ncolours. A split of approximately 100 units in Deep Black and 100 units in\nWarm Off White would be ideal for the initial NORTH \/ WEST production.\n\nRegarding the fabric, my preference would be to evaluate the following\noptions, if available:\n\n   - 240 GSM premium cotton jersey\n   - 250 GSM premium cotton jersey\n   - 220 GSM as an alternative if your technical team believes it provides\n   a better balance of structure, comfort and drape\n\nThe key objective is a substantial premium hand-feel while maintaining a\nclean, mature silhouette rather than an overly heavy streetwear appearance.\n\nOnce your technical team has reviewed the Tech Pack, could you please\nprovide:\n\n   - recommended fabric option and composition\n   - available fabric references \/ swatches\n   - available colours closest to Deep Black and Warm Off White\n   - sample development cost\n   - any pattern, grading or setup costs\n   - estimated production price per unit\n   - estimated packaging and private-label costs\n   - estimated shipping cost to Poland\n   - payment terms\n   - earliest realistic sample completion date\n   - earliest realistic bulk production completion date\n\nI understand from the lead times you provided that the original late\nOctober \/ early November delivery target may be difficult to achieve.\n\nI am therefore flexible regarding the launch date. Product quality and\ngetting the first production correct are more important than rushing the\ninitial order.\n\nIf there is any possibility of an expedited sampling process, I would also\nbe interested in knowing the additional cost and realistic timeline.\n\nFor the first development sample, I would prefer:\n\nNORTH \/ WEST Essential Heavy Tee\nColour: Deep Black\nSize: L\nFabric: ideally 240\u2013250 GSM premium cotton jersey\n\nFor the initial sample, one garment in size L will be sufficient. At this\nstage, I would like to focus primarily on evaluating the fabric, overall\nproportions, fit, collar construction, sleeve shape, garment length and\nfinishing quality.\n\nOnce the first sample has been reviewed and any necessary adjustments have\nbeen made, we can proceed with grading and the pre-production sample before\nbulk production.\n\nThank you again.
