At this stage, I do not have a physical sample yet, as I am looking for a manufacturing partner to develop the first prototype.\n\n3.

            "content": "Hello Jan,\n\nThank you for providing these initial details. It's great to see the clear vision you have for Svolvaer, and we appreciate the focus on top-tier quality.\n\nBased on the information, I need to clarify a couple of our standard production parameters to ensure we are aligned. Our minimum order quantity for a technical jacket like this is 200 units per style. This is the threshold that allows us to dedicate a production line and source the high-performance materials required.\n\nRegarding the timeline, our standard cycle for development and production takes about five months. Because our factories close for a few weeks in August, the earliest feasible delivery date for a new order placed now would be in October 2026. This timeframe is essential to uphold the high standards of quality and craftsmanship that Portuguese manufacturing is known for.\n\nTo move forward with a detailed analysis, could you please provide the following?\n\n1.  **Designs:** Please send the Tech Pack for the shell jacket.\n2.  **Target Price:** What is your target production price per style?\n\nOnce I have these final details, I can better assess the project.",
