Bottoms need a clear relationship between waist construction, rise, leg shape, pockets and intended movement. Put those decisions beside the quantity and sample plan.
01 · RFQ PREPARATION
Name the product and movement
Define trousers, cargos, joggers, track pants, tailored styles or shorts, then state fit, rise, inseam, leg opening and intended mobility.
02 · RFQ PREPARATION
Specify construction
Confirm fabric, lining, waistband, elastic, drawcord, closures, pocket dimensions, seams and reinforcement. Treat missing details as questions.
03 · RFQ PREPARATION
Approve measurements and color
Provide the measurement chart, grading and tolerance. Use a buyer-approved color reference and define how appearance variation will be reviewed.
04 · RFQ PREPARATION
Complete the order brief
List SKU, quantities by color and size, destination, sample checks, labels, folding, individual packing, carton limits and required documents.
