However, I would be very interested in working closely with an experienced European manufacturer to develop the product and create the technical package with your guidance and expertise.\nI understand that development and production require minimum order quantities. However, as a startup brand, standard MOQs can represent a significant challenge during the initial launch phase.\nWould it still be possible to collaborate on such a project with lower quantities for the first production run?\n\nBased on the complexity of the garment and the materials requested, I estimate that a factory price between 10e and 20e per unit could potentially be suitable, depending on quantities and customization.\nI would appreciate your feedback regarding the feasibility of this price range and your estimated quotations for:\n- 50 units\n- 100 units\n- 250 units\n\n\nMy target delivery date would be January 2027.\n\n\nAt this stage, my priority is to develop the right product, validate the fabric quality, fit, and compression level, and establish a long-term partnership with a reliable European manufacturer.\n\n\nTherefore, I am flexible regarding development and sampling timelines, provided that production can be planned for delivery around January\/Februrary  2027.\n\nOne of the reasons I am specifically looking for a European manufacturing partner is that I would like to build my brand around quality, reliability, and the value of products made in Europe. I believe European manufacturing provides a strong advantage in terms of craftsmanship, product quality, and customer trust.\nI would be grateful for any advice regarding the feasibility of the project, the development process, MOQ requirements, and the best way to move forward together.\nThank you for your time and consideration.\nI look forward to hearing from you.\n\nKind regards,\n\nFounder - EGO\nRuijmgaart Pierre\n\n________________________________\nDe : Matilde Azevedo \nEnvoy? : Tuesday, 01 September 2026 10:47:06\n? : founder-ego@outlook.fr \nObjet : Re: Compression T-shirt manufacturing inquiry\n\nHello Pierre,\n\nThank you for contacting us and providing detailed information about your brand, EGO, and the men's compression t-shirt you wish to develop.\n\nTo proceed, I need to gather some additional information:\n\n1.
