Men's Vibrant Yellow Gold African Jumpsuit
Most requests we quote against “men's vibrant yellow gold african jumpsuit” arrive with a photo, a target price and very little else. The photo is the easy part; the specification is where the money is saved or lost.
In practical terms this is a jumpsuit in ankara wax print built for men. Ankara is a wax-printed cotton, normally 100-120 gsm. The hand is slightly crisp, so it holds a peplum, a pleat or a stand collar without much interlining, and it presses flat after a hot iron. A jumpsuit is a fit problem before it is a style problem: torso length, crotch depth and rise all have to be right at the same time, and each of them grades differently.
Menswear in this category is a different block entirely — a straighter shoulder, a longer body and a trouser rise that has nothing in common with the women's range.
What Has To Be Specified
- Shell: ankara wax print, weight and hand approved on a physical swatch, not on a screen.
- Block: jumpsuit, fitted on a real model at the middle size before grading.
- Colour: gold, with a lab dip approved against your own colour card and a light-box check (D65 and TL84).
- Lining: state unlined, half-lined or fully lined. This single line changes the hand, the packing and the cost.
- Closure: name the type and the position. “Back zip” is not a specification; “invisible zip, CB, 55 cm, self-fabric guard” is.
- Sizing: give the size run, the grade rule and the target fit model. A four-size test and a ten-size container run are two different projects.
- Trim and hardware: bead, cord, eyelet or feather, with a colour reference and a pull-strength requirement for anything on a children's style.

The first sample usually passes on the mannequin and fails on a body: the waist sits high, the armhole cuts, or the sweep is 4 cm short. Fit on a real model before you approve anything.

Trims are quoted per piece and bought per roll. A 15% trim allowance sounds generous until the third size run lands.
Options We Can Build To
