Vet Alibaba Tracksuit Manufacturer

I need help finding and vetting reliable Alibaba suppliers who can produce a custom two-piece tracksuit—hoodie and sweatpants—under my brand, LIVELY. The garment must be 100 % cotton and the first colourway is set: a plum body, forest-green sleeves, grey hood, slate pocket and blush lettering.

Your job is to search Alibaba, identify manufacturers that already specialise in cotton leisurewear, open a dialogue with each, confirm they can match that exact colour blocking, apply my branding, quote reasonable MOQs and lead times, and agree to ship a single size-M sample before any bulk commitment.

I expect you to verify company profiles, years in business, response history and production capabilities, collect recent client feedback, secure references or photos of similar work, and confirm standard certifications they hold (ISO 9001, BSCI, WRAP or comparable—even if not mandatory, I still want to know).

Deliverables should include a short comparative report outlining at least three qualified factories, the full chat transcripts, quoted unit prices for both the initial sample and projected bulk, shipping estimates to my address, payment terms and any draft contracts or pro-formas they provide. Once I select the winner, you will oversee payment and dispatch of the sample, track it until delivery and report back.

Clear communication, persistence with Alibaba sellers and an eye for detail are essential; please outline in your proposal any past sourcing experience with custom apparel.
