Victor Zhou is the Sales Manager at EZ Equestrian, with 12 years of experience in custom equestrian apparel. He helps brands, riding schools, clubs and distributors define riding-wear collections, review materials and samples, and plan bulk orders. For a riding-wear buyer, a good-looking design is only the starting point. The fabric, fit, grip placement, pockets, closures and finishing need to work together in the garment. Victor’s articles explore those decisions through the questions that come up when developing custom riding breeches, technical riding tops and equestrian jackets. As Sales Manager, Victor connects buyer requirements with the development and production discussion. His focus is making the brief specific: who the garment is for, how it will be used, which details need a sample review, and what must be agreed before a bulk order. He writes for equestrian brands building private-label collections, riding schools and clubs planning coordinated apparel, and distributors sourcing riding wear for their markets. Start with the rider Define the use, fit and season before selecting materials and details. Make the brief clear Record quantities, colors, sizes, artwork and sample feedback. Check the actual sample Review the garment against the agreed specification before bulk approval. WHAT VICTOR WRITES ABOUT ## Product details.
