The right product.
The right partner network.

HADS connects each project with a reliable network of specialized partners covering materials, accessories, complementary manufacturing processes, welding and testing according to the needs of the product.

CO-CREATION DEVELOPMENT SOURCING MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL DELIVERY
MATERIALS MATTER

A garment is only as coherent as its components.

The selection of materials influences comfort, durability, appearance, functionality, production efficiency and final product positioning.


Our sourcing approach starts from the product requirement. The objective is not simply to find a fabric, but to identify material solutions that make sense for the complete garment and customer project.

THE SOURCING PROCESS

From product requirements to material selection.

Each component needs to be considered within the complete product architecture rather than selected in isolation.

01 · DEFINE

Understand the requirement

Review intended use, comfort, durability, appearance, technical expectations and customer priorities.

02 · IDENTIFY

Explore material solutions

Identify suitable fabric, trim and component options according to the project brief and garment construction.

03 · ALIGN

Connect material and product

Consider compatibility between materials, garment architecture, industrialization and final performance.

04 · PREPARE

Support the next stage

Consolidate the selected direction for validation, manufacturing preparation and quality requirements.

PRODUCT REQUIREMENT Function, appearance, durability and customer positioning.
MATERIAL DIRECTION Fabrics, trims and components aligned with the project.
WHAT WE CONSIDER

More than fabric selection.

The right material choice depends on how the complete garment needs to perform, look and behave during manufacturing and use.

1
Main fabrics Composition, weight, feel, appearance and intended performance.
2
Reinforcement materials Additional materials for exposed or high-wear product zones when required.
3
Trims and components Zips, buttons, elastic, tapes, labels and other garment components.
4
Branding solutions Embroidery, transfers, labels and other customer-specific identity elements.
DETAILS MATTER

Every component is part of the product.

Zips, reflective tapes, buttons, threads, reinforcements and other trims are selected as part of the complete garment architecture — not as isolated accessories.

FABRICS · TRIMS · COMPONENTSMaterial choices connected to function, construction and identity.
OUR PARTNER ECOSYSTEM

Reliable specialists.
Connected around your product.

Our sourcing strength is also built on trusted relationships with specialized partners. According to the project, HADS can coordinate the right expertise beyond its own operations to support a complete and coherent industrial solution.

A BALANCED DECISION

Performance, positioning and industrial reality.

Material selection needs to balance several project parameters. The best solution is the one that works coherently across product use, customer objectives and production requirements.

SOURCING OUTPUT

A material direction connected to the garment.

The goal is to ensure that product construction and material choices progress together before industrial execution.

Main material direction
Trim and component requirements
Reinforcement needs when applicable
Branding and finishing orientation
Compatibility with garment construction
Inputs prepared for manufacturing

Next step: Manufacturing

Once product construction and material direction are aligned, the project can move toward controlled industrial execution.
