Tactical Jacket Customization Program for Ski and Snowboard Resorts with Shirring
Tactical Jacket Solution for Ski and Snowboard Resorts
This programme covers the full path from a tactical jacket concept to a repeatable bulk supply for ski and snowboard resorts. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure we see in ski and snowboard resorts sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
Recommended fabrics
- Power Mesh — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
- Ripstop Nylon — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
- Ring-Spun Cotton — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- Hemp — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Shirring, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.
- Placement Printing
- Custom Button
- Pantone Color Matching
- Sequin Work
- Hangtag and Packaging
- Distressed Finish

FAQ
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 300 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
