INTRODUCTION This TravelSmith Softlines Quality Assurance Manual provides the administrative procedures and quality assurance requirements under the testing program. The Consumer Products Services Division of Bureau Veritas (BVCPS) is the approved laboratory under this program and will perform testing on all items as requested by TravelSmith and its suppliers as outlined in this manual. TravelSmiths performance standards are based on BVCPS past experience. The Performance Standards are used as a guideline for the evaluation of TravelSmiths acceptability. Most test methods and test procedures are originated from:

ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) FTC (Federal Trade Commission)

TravelSmith POLICY STATEMENT 1. TravelSmith is committed to delivering quality merchandise to the TravelSmith customer. 2. This program is based on the mandate that all Softlines merchandise purchased by TravelSmith must be tested to meet all applicable laws and regulatory requirements, in addition to ensuring compliance with TravelSmiths customer satisfaction and acceptability. 3. TravelSmith only accepts test reports from BVCPS or a BVCPS affiliate. Any exceptions must be agreed to in advance with TravelSmith. 4. This testing or any subsequent result does not limit TravelSmith rights or diminish or remove vendor or manufacturer's responsibilities and obligations under the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions.

TESTING PROCEDURES I. TravelSmiths RESPONSIBILITY

Provide the vendor with a copy of the TravelSmith Quality Assurance Softlines Program Manual, sample submission requirements and performance standards. When a product fails testing, TravelSmith will discuss the situation with the Quality Department (and the vendor, when necessary), to determine the disposition as to retest or cancellation of the order, etc.

II. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY

As a vendor to TravelSmith, you are fully responsible for all fabric and garment testing of production merchandise. You must guarantee that fabric and garments pass all tests before production and shipment. The best timing for fabric/garment testing immediately after the style/item had been adopted into our line/book, so approval may be made for care recommendations in time for production. It is the vendors responsibility to ensure that all necessary tests are done to meet TravelSmiths requirements. All tests will be paid by the Vendor. Sample submission to BVCPS :

Fabric Testing: For initial bulk fabric testing, a minimum of two (2) square yards must be submitted for full testing in one (1) colorway along with a minimum of one (1) square yard fabric in each additional colorway. Fabric must be identical in every aspect to bulk production piece goods including color and prints. "Pre-Production Garment Testing: Send three (3) garments in the darkest colorway for complete garment testing" If additional garment / fabric is required, BVCPS will immediately contact the vendor.

A completed TravelSmith Test Request Form should be submitted with garment / fabric. BVCPS will not accept a sample if the form is incomplete. The Vendor may obtain Test Request Forms directly from BVCPS (See Enclosed Test Request Form). Garments must include all bulk trim, accessories and embellishments. Findings and Functional / Decorative Trim Zippers Buttons and Snaps (more samples may be required if the coating is insufficient for testing) Elastic, Lace, Ribbon Applied Trim:, Bows, Patches, Etc. Screenprint, Embroidery / Appliqu Accessories Number of Samples Required 6 Zippers Total (2 Garment & 4 Zippers) 10 Samples (To be tested on garment stage) 2 Yards 8 Pieces Applied on Production Fabric 4 Pieces /Samples of Art Work 6 samples

VISUALLY UNSATISFACTORY SAMPLES (stains, tears, missing pieces) WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR TESTING!

II. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY (Continued) Samples Required for Testing Garment Retests: All retests are the vendors responsibility. Note: On product re-tests, the previous test report number must be referenced on the Test Request Form. If a previous report number is not referenced, the full fabric and garment tests may be performed on the submission. All retested fees are vendors responsibility. Ongoing Programs: Products that are purchased on an ongoing basis must be tested in accordance with the appropriate packages at least once every season, or when changes have been made in production.

III. BVCPS RESPONSIBILITY

When the Test Request Form is incomplete, the laboratory will notify the originating vendor. Until proper information is received, testing will be delayed. Complete testing and evaluate the test results (See TravelSmith Standard Test Package). Rate the product by: o Pass The product provides good overall consumer serviceability and requires no improvement. Fail The product has deficiencies of such severity that the customer dissatisfaction will likely result and / or noncompliance or regulatory requirements. The product cannot be sold until improvements are made

Complete hard copy report in the "Report" form including reasons for failure and recommendation for improvements in the cases of Fail rating.

All Reports will be emailed to Crystal McDougald, Vendor Compliance and Quality Control Manager, TravelSmith at cmcdougald@travelsmith.com

In the case of failed tests; BVCPS will forward swatches of the failed test results for review to: Crystal McDougald Vendor Compliance and Quality Control Manager 773 San Marin Drive Suite 2300 Novato, CA 94945 Phone: 415-798-3013 Fax: 415-884-1620

Distribute the reports within 5 working days from sample submission by email and the hard copy of the report, followed in the mail as follows: o Pass Results E-mail to TravelSmith TD Manager 1 copy to vendor Fail Results 1 Original with swatches to TravelSmith TD & QA Manager 1 copy to vendor

Always include a copy of the Test Request Form submitted with the samples when sending the reports by e-mail.
