Emerging designers
Translate sketches, reference garments, and incomplete tech packs into a production-ready specification with manageable 50-piece-per-style minimums.
Managed sourcing service
Submit an Apparel, Textile or Product Sourcing Request
Turn concepts and technical specifications into commercially viable, retail-ready goods through one managed workflow. Fenalt reviews the brief, matches capabilities, coordinates production, and manages quality and delivery.
Direct answer
A Single Point of Contact for the Sourcing Request
Fenalt does not forward an inquiry to an unvetted supplier. The technical team reviews GSM, fiber composition, weave or knit construction, BOM, POM, trims, and target volume, then maps the project to a specialized partner facility.
The standard workflow starts at 50 pieces per style, includes 10–15 days of sample production plus 3–5 days shipping, and completes bulk in 15–20 days from PP sign-off. Quality is governed by ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II with AQL 2.5.

Managed workflow
From Request to Export Dispatch
Scope the brief
Review tech packs, BOMs, target costs, construction, and missing production data.
Match materials
Allocate yarns, fabrics, trims, finishes, and specialized partner capability.
Sample and fit
Build physical prototypes, revise POMs, and approve the pre-production sample.
Run bulk
Move approved materials through cutting, sewing, finishing, and line-level checks.
Verify quality
Inspect against standard commercial tolerances under Level II/AQL 2.5.
Deliver
Coordinate DAP courier or FOB designated export-port freight and documentation.
Specification checklist
The Four Technical Vectors We Need to Scope
Clear inputs reduce sample loops and produce a more useful preliminary costing conversation.
Fabric and yarn
Composition, GSM, yarn count, knit or weave, dyeing, finishing, Pantone TCX/TPX, wet fastness, and pre-shrinkage.
Construction
Seam type, SPI, machine gauge, flatlock, coverstitch, overlock, bound seams, and stress-point reinforcement.
Measurements
Size chart, graded rules, POM list, tolerance expectations, and reference fit sample.
Trims and packaging
Zippers, buttons, labels, care text, hangtags, polybags, carton marks, and barcode requirements.
Questions and answers
Sourcing Request FAQs
What should I include in an apparel sourcing request?
Send the product category, tech pack or reference assets, fabric composition and GSM, size chart, POM tolerances, trims, target quantity, destination, and delivery timing.
What is Fenalt's standard MOQ and lead time?
The standard minimum is 50 pieces per style. Sampling is 10–15 production days plus 3–5 courier days; bulk is 15–20 days from PP sign-off to export dispatch.
Does Fenalt review incomplete tech packs?
Yes. The engineering team identifies missing construction, measurement, material, trim, and packaging data before physical development begins.
How is quality controlled?
Fabric intake, in-line checks, measurement audits, and final pre-shipment inspection follow ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II with an AQL 2.5 acceptance threshold.
Which delivery terms are available?
Small-batch courier consignments use DAP to the specified business location. Bulk sea freight uses FOB designated port of export with managed export documentation and vessel loading.
