Question 1

What are the key technical specifications of Nokia-695?

Accepted Answer

Nokia-695 is a woven plain/poplin 100% cotton solid-dyed fabric in light navy blue. It has a finished weight of approximately 125 GSM (about 3.7 oz/yd²) and a usable width of about 146 cm (57.5"). The fabric is mercerized, silicon-finished, brushed, carbon-finished, and laffer-finished, giving it a smooth, soft, and refined surface. There is no motif (N/A), so it behaves like a plain, solid-colored shirting fabric.

Question 2

What kind of hand-feel, drape, and performance can I expect from this fabric?

Accepted Answer

Thanks to the mercerized and silicon finishes, Nokia-695 has a smooth, slightly lustrous surface with a soft, comfortable hand. The brushed and laffer finishes add a gentle, refined touch and improved drape, making it suitable for garments worn close to the skin. As a 125 GSM poplin, it is lightweight, breathable, and appropriate for warm-weather use; opacity may depend on garment color and construction and may require lining for certain womenswear or light-colored styles.

Question 3

How stable is the GSM, width, and shade from lot to lot?

Accepted Answer

As a never-out-of-stock (NOS) program item, Nokia-695 is designed for repeat consistency. Typical industry tolerances should be expected: GSM and width may vary slightly within standard acceptable ranges, and light shade variation between lots is possible but minimized. For critical programs (uniforms, corporate wear, schoolwear), we recommend approving a shade standard and always ordering by lot, or requesting a current cutting for reference before bulk.

Question 4

What are the main end-uses this fabric is suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Nokia-695 is optimized as a lightweight shirting and top-weight fabric. It is suitable for men’s casual and formal shirts, summer kurtas/tunics, and lightweight lounge pants; women’s blouses, office tops, kurtis, lightweight dresses and skirts (often with lining); unisex school and corporate shirts, hotel/retail/service staff shirts and light hospitality tops; kids’ shirts, dresses, and school shirts; plus accessories such as lightweight scarves, pocket squares, and inner linings. In home textiles, it can be used for decorative/light-use pillow covers and lightweight cushion covers where a soft, fine cotton surface is desired.

Question 5

What is the packing format, and is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Accepted Answer

Nokia-695 is typically supplied in rolls of approximately 120 meters per packing unit, suitable for both sampling runs and production lay planning. MOQ can be aligned with standard roll/lot sizes or specific program requirements; it is usually flexible for never-out-of-stock items but should be confirmed at the time of order to match your production and color-lot needs.
