Email is useful for specification sheets, garment sketches, wash references or existing sample data. The web form is suited to early briefs where the required construction and approval path still need to be organized.

Do not send confidential design files before the appropriate transfer arrangement is confirmed. An initial material screen needs end use and performance context, not proprietary artwork.

Contact channels support inquiry routing. They do not establish product availability, production location, certificate validity or delivery commitment.

Prepare the inquiry

Fields that make samples comparable

Describe the garment category, silhouette, expected wear and care or wash route. State fiber content, yarn count, weave construction, twill direction, GSM range, minimum usable width, stretch direction, shade and finishing preferences where known.

If the project requests colorfastness, shrinkage, pilling, tensile or tear evidence, identify the method and acceptance requirement. A result for one color, finish or construction is not assumed for every variant.

State whether the immediate approval concerns a handloom, lab dip, strike-off, wash trial, pre-production cutting or production dye lot. These samples answer different questions and should not share one undifferentiated approval status.

When replacing an incumbent fabric, include the approved reference and the reason for change. Differences in yarn source, weave setting, dye route, stretch content, finish or wash chemistry can alter appearance and behavior, so the relevant garment and test decisions must be repeated.

Commercial fields should include estimated meters, color count, target price basis, delivery window, Incoterm and destination. The response will identify what can be compared immediately and what requires a physical trial, report or lot-specific confirmation.
