Buying fabric, step 8 of 13

Purchase order with the sealed sample attached

The approved sample is the referee every later argument goes to.

The purchase order carries the full construction, the finished width and weight with their tolerances, the shade band, the shrinkage and colour fastness grades, the inspection system and the dates, and the sealed sample approved in writing is attached to it, because bulk is judged against the sample and not against the words. The mill’s pro forma invoice must repeat every line before the letter of credit is opened or the transfer (T/T) is sent, to the mill’s company account and never a personal one.
