Sampling can involve yarn selection, swatches, first garment, fit revision, size set and pre-production sample. The sequence depends on product complexity and supplier practice. Agree the expected stages and scope in the quote.
Before reviewing a sample, compare measurements against the chart, assess material and handfeel, inspect stitch and finishing details, try on the intended fit and record specific change requests.
Questions to confirm
Keep dated photos and versioned comments. Reconfirm the approved material, construction, labels and measurements before bulk so production is tied to one agreed reference.
- Which party owns each design and sourcing decision?
- What is included in the quoted scope?
- What is the approval point before production?
- How are changes, revisions and standards recorded?
