We're planning to launch for the 2027\/28 winter season.\nBefore we go further, could you help with the following?\n\n  1.\nSki sock experience: Have you produced ski or other technical winter socks before? If so, can you share sample photos or name the types of brands you supply? Do you provide multiple specs of ski sock?\n  2.\nConstruction: Can you offer mapped cushioning (shin, heel, foot), a seamless toe closure, and a reinforced heel and toe?\n  3.\nMaterials: Which merino\/nylon\/elastane blends do you recommend for ski use, and do you source the yarn yourselves? Can you work with custom colours and jacquard patterns? Are there any other materials that you have had success with in premium ski socks?\n  4.\nMOQ and pricing: What is your minimum order per design and per colourway, and what would indicative unit prices be at around 300, 600 and 1,000 pairs?\n  5.\nSamples: What do development samples cost, and how long do they take? We would be looking at receiving samples this season (February time) and looking to launch the following season.\n  6.\nTimeline: What lead time would you need from sample approval to delivery in the UK?\n  7.\nCertifications and terms: Do you hold OEKO-TEX (or similar) certification, and what are your payment terms and shipping options to the UK?\n\nIf it helps, I'm happy to share a design brief once I know which of your capabilities fit best.\nThank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.\nKind regards,\nEuan Hayward\nSchuss & Co",
