  • Demand commentary and order behavior from US and European apparel retailers.
  • Increase garmenting capacity utilization and selectively add production lines before the export pipeline rolls off.

  • Deploy margin gains toward branded retail expansion only where store economics and inventory turns remain disciplined.
