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.
  1. Buying from a vague specification
Define water resistance, breathability, insulation, seam construction, fit and trims before comparing quotes.
  1. Skipping wear and wash checks
Request relevant test information and review a production-quality sample. A showroom sample may not represent bulk production.
  1. Ignoring size distribution
Use real customer or staff data. A correct total quantity can still produce excess inventory if the size curve is unrealistic.
  1. Inspecting too late
Agree on checkpoints for fabric, cutting, sewing, decoration, measurement and packing before production starts.
  1. Leaving delivery planning until the end
Seasonal products need a clear approval calendar, buffer and repeat-order plan.
