Bulk ski jacket orders can fail when buyers focus only on price. Five common mistakes are unclear specifications, untested fabrics, poor size planning, weak inspection and late approval of packaging.
- Buying from a vague specification
Define water resistance, breathability, insulation, seam construction, fit and trims before comparing quotes.
- Skipping wear and wash checks
Request relevant test information and review a production-quality sample. A showroom sample may not represent bulk production.
- Ignoring size distribution
Use real customer or staff data. A correct total quantity can still produce excess inventory if the size curve is unrealistic.
Agree on checkpoints for fabric, cutting, sewing, decoration, measurement and packing before production starts.
- Leaving delivery planning until the end
Seasonal products need a clear approval calendar, buffer and repeat-order plan.
