常见问题
•What is the usual minimum order per color or article?
For stocked articles, mills commonly sell from one roll, which is typically 30-60 linear meters. Custom dyeing to your shade usually starts at 300-500 meters per color, and weaving a non-stock article can require 1,000 meters or more. Always ask whether the article is in stock or made to order - lead times differ sharply.
•Can I get physical samples before committing to a fabric order?
Yes. Mills routinely send header cards or A4 swatches by courier, usually free or for the cost of shipping. For critical decisions, order a sample cut of 3-5 meters so your own sewing line can test the cloth on the actual garment. Sample dispatch typically takes a few days plus courier transit.
•How do Russian fabric specifications compare to international ones?
Russian mills declare parameters under GOST test methods: fiber composition, surface density in g/m2, breaking strength, shrinkage and color fastness grades. The measured properties translate directly to ISO equivalents, and most exporting mills can provide a specification sheet in English. If your market requires specific lab confirmation, third-party testing can be arranged on shipment samples.
•What lead time should a garment factory plan for?
In-stock fabric ships within 5-10 days of payment. Dye-to-order typically takes 20-35 days, and weaving a custom article 45-60 days. Add transit: 7-15 days by truck to Central Asia, or roughly 30-45 days by sea to the Middle East, Africa or Latin America depending on the routing.
•How is payment usually structured with Russian mills?
The common arrangement is an advance of 30-50 percent to start production or reserve stock, with the balance before dispatch. Established relationships often move to more flexible terms. Payment routes depend on your country's banking links with Russia, so confirm the workable currency and channel with the supplier at the quotation stage.
•Is wool suiting from these mills suitable for hot climates?
Several mills weave tropical-weight worsted in the 180-240 g/m2 range, originally developed for summer uniforms. These breathe better than polyester suiting and hold a crease well. Specify your target weight and any blend requirements in the request, since the heavier coat-weight articles that dominate the catalog will not suit equatorial markets.
