Specified: 125 GSM (≈3.69 oz/yd²), width 146 cm (57.48 in), 100% cotton, plain/poplin weave, solid dyed, motif: N/A. The fabric is finished with mercerization, silicon and mechanical finishes (brushed, carbon, laffer) giving a soft, smooth, slightly sheeny/peachy hand and medium drape suited to shirting and light garments. Typical industry tolerances can apply (confirm at order): GSM and weight banding are usually confirmed with sample testing; width tolerances and GSM tolerances should be agreed on your order/technical sheet and verified with incoming inspection or a lab test.
Best suited for shirts and blouses — Menswear shirts (formal/casual) 95%, Mens/Unisex polo & casual shirts ~90%, Womens blouses/tops 95%, shirt-dresses and summer dresses ~85%. Also suitable for kids’ shirts/dresses (~88–90%), lightweight skirts (~70%), lightweight trousers/shorts (~40–50%) and light home items such as pillowcases (~60–75%). Not recommended for structured outerwear or heavy-duty trousers due to its lightweight poplin construction and low inherent stretch.
Performance expectations: breathability is good because it is 100% cotton and plain-woven; stretch is minimal (no elastane) — dimensional stability relies on cutting and construction. Mercerization improves dye uptake and improves wet strength and appearance; however final colorfastness and crocking depend on dye recipe and fixation. Because the fabric is not specified as sanforized, buyers should expect normal cotton shrinkage behavior unless pre-shrunk — confirm with a shrinkage test (laboratory or wash trial). Pilling risk is generally low for cotton poplin, though brushing increases surface softness and should be tested for halo/piling. Recommended pre-production tests: dimensional stability (washing), colorfastness to washing and rubbing, pilling and tensile/tear where relevant.
Pastel shades are sensitive to small shade shifts. Request and approve a lab-dip and a physical strike-off prior to bulk production. Specify your acceptable tolerances (e.g., ΔE or visual pass/fail criteria) on the PO or tech pack; agree on metamerism checks under standard illuminants if color matching under different lights is critical. Expect small lot-to-lot variation—final approval on strike-off ensures bulk production matches your approved sample.
Standard packing size provided: 120 metres per roll (as supplied). As a guideline you can plan MOQ around full rolls (one roll = 120 m) per shade unless otherwise agreed; for continuous programs this fabric is listed as Never-Out-of-Stock (continuous supply capability), but exact meters per shade and scheduling should be confirmed at order confirmation. For bulk orders, identify required roll lengths, lab-dip/strike-off approval timeline and any color-lock/inspection points to ensure uninterrupted repeat supply.
