Custom Women's Outer Wear for the European Market in Softshell with Yarn Dyeing for European Corporate Uniforms

Custom Women's Outer Wear for the European Market — Softshell with Yarn Dyeing

We supply women's outer wear to European buyers built for continental winters well below freezing. Cloth weight, fibre composition and finish are specified for the season and the standard before price: Softshell at 340-420 gsm, with restricted-substance screening and documentation prepared for the destination market. Programmes start at 150 pieces per style per colour and ship to Felixstowe or Dublin.

European programmes fail on paperwork more often than on product: color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric, and inconsistent sizing between production runs. We fix the specification first — fabric weight, shrinkage, stitch density and measurement tolerance — then prepare UKCA marking and UK REACH registration so the goods clear customs and pass buyer audit without a second round of testing.

How we produce it

1. Tech pack review and fabric confirmation for continental winters well below freezing
2. Restricted-substance screening against REACH, then lab dips for approval
3. Softshell-spec prototype graded to UK 8-20
4. Fit sample and wearer test, then a pre-production sample
5. Bulk cutting with yarn dyeing applied under controlled settings
6. In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to EU carton specification

Sustainability and documentation

European buyers are asked for evidence, not assurances. We can supply EN 343 weather protection documentation, recycled-content claims with transaction certificates where the fibre qualifies, and test reports from accredited labs. Fibre composition, care symbols and country of origin are printed in the languages your market requires, and the technical file is held for reorders.

Delivery, duty and VAT

Shipments move to Felixstowe or Dublin under EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP. For EU and UK destinations we quote landed cost including duty and import VAT, and provide the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file, which keeps women's outer wear batches consistent across seasons.

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.

Do you provide compliance documents?

We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for EN 343 weather protection, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 5 days each.

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.
