What should brands check before starting a custom bomber jacket sample?

Before starting a custom bomber jacket sample, brands should check shell fabric, lining, rib quality, zipper, pocket structure, sleeve length, body length, fit, logo technique, labels, color standard, and packaging requirements.

Bomber jackets often depend heavily on proportion and construction. Rib collar, sleeve cuffs, hem rib, zipper position, pocket angle, lining thickness, and shoulder shape can change the final look.

Brands should prepare a tech pack, reference photos, size chart, artwork file, fabric direction, trim requirement, and expected order plan before sampling. If the buyer has an existing sample, sending detailed photos or physical reference information can help the manufacturer understand the target result.

During sample review, brands should check fit, rib recovery, zipper smoothness, lining comfort, pocket position, logo placement, and stitching quality.

A custom bomber jacket sample should be approved only after the buyer confirms both visual style and production feasibility.
