A productive puffer jacket project starts with a brief that can be understood by both the buying team and the development team. A reference image is helpful, but it should be supported by the intended price level, destination market, target quantity and desired delivery window.
For the first sample, identify the shell fabric direction, filling target, key measurements, hood and pocket requirements, color approach and logo application. These choices make the sample review more focused and make later changes easier to control.
When the sample is approved, lock the buyer-approved details in a production specification before bulk material preparation. This creates a practical record for inspection, packing and shipment coordination.
