Men's Slim Fit Raincoat – Source Factory Specifications

This document details the technical specifications, material options, and manufacturing considerations for a men's slim fit raincoat produced as a sourced industrial garment. It is intended for procurement engineers, OEM buyers, and product developers evaluating suppliers for outerwear requiring precise fit, weather resistance, and scalable production.

Core Design Parameters

The slim fit silhouette is defined by a tapered torso, reduced sleeve volume, and minimized excess fabric at the waist and hips, achieving a streamlined profile without compromising mobility. Pattern grading follows ISO 8559-1 standards for men’s outerwear, with ease allowances of 4–6 cm at the chest and 2–4 cm at the waist, adjusted for layering over lightweight mid-layers. Sleeve length is measured from center-back neck to wrist bone, typically 82–86 cm for size M, with a 1.5 cm taper from elbow to cuff to prevent billowing.

Material Construction and Performance

The primary shell uses a 2.5-layer laminate system: a 100% nylon 6,6 micro-ripstop face fabric (70 denier, 110 g/m²) bonded to a microporous polyurethane (PU) membrane and protected by a non-woven polyester backing. This construction delivers a hydrostatic head of ≥10,000 mm (JIS L 1092 B) and moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of ≥8,000 g/m²/24h (ASTM E96 B), balancing waterproofing with breathability for active use. Seams are sealed with 12 mm wide thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) tape applied via hot-air welding at 280–300°C, ensuring peel strength >8 N/width (ASTM D882).

Hardware and Functional Details

The front closure features a coil-type nylon zipper (size #5) with a water-resistant flap and chin guard, rated for 5,000+ cycles (ISO 105-D02). Zipper pulls are molded acetal with low-temperature flexibility down to -20°C. Adjustable cuffs use 20 mm wide nylon webbing with bar-tack reinforcement and acetal slides, allowing ±3 cm adjustment. The hood is stowaway, integrated into the collar via a roll-and-snap system, with a laminated peak and drawcord adjustment using 2 mm elastic cord and cordlocks rated for 10 kg pull strength. All hardware undergoes salt spray testing (ASTM B117) for 24 hours minimum.

Size Range and Fit Logic

Standard sizes range from XS to 3XL, graded using a 2-point system (chest and height) with proportional adjustments to sleeve length, torso taper, and hip circumference. For size M: chest 102 cm, waist 88 cm, hip 100 cm, sleeve length 84 cm, back length 78 cm (from center-back neck). Fit validation includes 3D body scanning data from ANSI/ASHRAE 55-compliant profiles, ensuring <1.5 cm deviation from target measurements across 95% of the target demographic (165–185 cm height, 55–85 kg weight). Custom grading is available upon request with supplied measurement charts.

Quality Control and Testing Protocol

Incoming fabric is inspected per AQL 2.5 for defects (ISO 2859-1), including face fabric denier variation (±5%), coating adhesion (>1.5 N/mm peel), and dimensional stability after 5 wash cycles (<3% shrinkage). Finished garments undergo hydrostatic head retesting (AQL 4.0), seam seal continuity checks (100% visual + 20% probe test), and zipper functionality (100% operational check). Final inspection includes tape measure verification of 8 critical points (chest, waist, hip, sleeve length, back length, cuff, collar, hood depth) against approved specs, with AQL 1.0 for dimensional accuracy.

Customization Options

Buyers may specify alternate face fabrics (e.g., 100% recycled polyester 70D, 150D nylon oxford), membrane types (PU, ePTFE, or hydrophilic PU), or coating weights to adjust MVTR and hydrostatic head targets. Color matching is available via Pantone TPG or textile swatch, with lab-dip approval required before bulk production. Reflective trims (3M Scotchlite or equivalent) can be applied to sleeves, back, or hood per EN ISO 20471 standards. Detachable liners (fleece, insulated, or mesh) are offered as modular accessories with compatible snap or zip interfaces.

Packaging and Logistics

Each garment is folded to a standardized 30×40×5 cm dimension using a board fold method, inserted into a 50 µm polyethylene bag, and packed in cartons of 20–25 units (38×30×40 cm, 8–10 kg gross weight). Cartons are labeled with barcode (Code 128), size, color, PO number, and country of origin. Export packaging includes corner protectors and strapping to withstand ISTA 1A drop tests. Lead time from approved sample to production start is typically 25–35 days, dependent on fabric sourcing and trim availability.
