01
Fit & measurements
Confirm the size system, foot length, leg height and cuff opening. Agree how relaxed and stretched measurements will be taken and recorded.
QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS
VALUETEX / 05Quality starts
with clarity.
A good product brief defines what acceptable looks like. Use these checkpoints to put fit, finish and consistency into a practical B2B discussion.
AGREE IT. THEN ASSESS IT.
The sample is a reference.
The specification gives it meaning.
A sock can look right in a photograph and still miss a buyer’s expectations. Dimensions, stretch, feel and presentation need their own criteria. Before approval, agree which characteristics will be checked, how they will be measured and what variation is acceptable.
The checklist below is a buyer planning guide. Specific inspections, tests and documentation must be agreed for your project.
Preparing for sample approval
THE BUYER’S CHECKLIST
Look closer.
Ask better questions.
02
Construction & finish
Review toe closure, heel shape, cuff feel, loose threads and visible faults. Compare pairs against the agreed sample and written specification.
03
Colour & design
Set the colour reference and viewing conditions. Check logo placement, stripe alignment, pattern legibility and matching within each pair.
04
Wash & wear requirements
Identify any wash, dimensional stability, pilling or colourfastness requirements. Agree methods and acceptance criteria before requesting testing.
05
Pairing & packing
Check that sizes, labels, quantities, barcodes and assortment ratios match the brief. A well-made sock still needs the right presentation.
06
Records & approvals
Keep the specification, sample comments, approval dates and changes together. Clarify whether an inspection or report is required before dispatch.
