Matching a repeat jersey style.
Existing sample & specification
Share the sealed reference, measurements and tolerances used for the current style.
Fabric & finish comparison
Review yarn count, construction, weight and wash finish alongside the garment sample.
Portuguese artwork
Approve the label and accompanying printed information with the product specification.
Record the agreed differences
Document intentional changes and confirm the test scope before the repeat enters production.
Labelling & regulatory guidance
Planning the volume half of a split range.
One standard has to hold across a range built in more than one place. These are the points that decide whether it does.
Where the division falls
Run length and reorder cycle set it. A style reordered in a few hundred pieces on a four-week cycle is a different production problem from a twelve-colour basic in tens of thousands, and the two rarely plan well together.
One standard, two origins
The sealed sample, the measurement chart with its tolerances and the approved label artwork are the shared reference. We supply to the sample you have sealed, wherever it was sealed.
Consumer information in Portuguese
Information on the nature, characteristics and guarantees of goods offered to the public in Portugal is given in Portuguese, on the label and packaging and in any leaflet that goes with them. Where written material is in another language, a full Portuguese translation goes with it.[1][2]
Fibre composition
Fibre composition uses recognised names in the official language of the country where the goods reach the consumer, with non-textile parts of animal origin declared where they apply.[3]
Fabric sets the arithmetic
On a long run the fabric is most of the cost, so yarn count, construction, width and finish are settled before a price means anything. We are glad to quote fabric and make separately where that makes a comparison easier.
Matching an existing test scope
Where a style already ships, we work to the test scope, the physical requirements and the AQL already agreed for it, and flag anything the new construction changes before bulk.

Yes. Surajmal Shobhachand works to the approved sample, measurement chart and artwork, recording any agreed construction changes before bulk.

Yes. Share the composition, construction, width or yarn count, finish and quantities so material and making can be considered against the same brief.
How quickly can a first garment sample be made?
First garment samples are typically sent in 4 to 10 days after the brief is confirmed. Material and specialist development timings are confirmed separately.
What order sizes do you work with?
Surajmal Shobhachand works across a wide range, from small and emerging brands to the largest global retailers. Minimums are set per style or material and confirmed at enquiry.
