THE KEY TAKEAWAY

Start with a clear specification.

Separate the silhouette, fabric and wash references. Add quantities and a destination so the quotation has a clear scope.

01 / Define the wearer and the silhouette

Describe your target customer and market. Include front and back references, rise, leg shape, desired length and the size range you want to develop. Mark which details matter most.

02 / Describe fabric and wash separately

Specify the composition, weight and stretch you are looking for where known. Add wash references and explain the tone, fading, distressing or hand feel you want reviewed. A reference image alone does not establish the final fabric or finish.

03 / List the details

Include pocket shapes, stitching, buttons, labels and packaging. If you have a technical pack or measurement chart, mention it in your inquiry and share it with the team during follow-up.

04 / Make the quotation usable

Provide estimated quantities by style and size, destination and target delivery date. Ask the team to confirm sample costs, minimums, production scope and delivery arrangements.
