Question 1

What are the key technical specifications of Nokia-Slate Blue?

Accepted Answer

This is a 100% cotton, plain-weave/poplin, solid-dyed woven fabric in a slate blue shade. The weight is 125 GSM (approx. 3.69 oz/yd²), and the usable width is about 146 cm (57.5"). Motif is N/A (no motif; solid). It is offered with multiple finishes: chemical mercerized, silicon softener, and mechanical brushed, carbon, and laffer finishes. Standard packing is in rolls of approximately 120 meters.

Question 2

How does this fabric feel and perform in terms of comfort, drape, and appearance?

Accepted Answer

As a lightweight (125 GSM) mercerized poplin, the fabric has a smooth, clean surface with a crisp-yet-soft hand. Mercerization enhances luster and colour depth, while silicon and laffer finishing add softness and surface smoothness. Brushing and carbon finishing can give a slightly warmer, fuller feel while maintaining breathability, making it suitable for warm to moderate climates.

Question 3

Is this fabric suitable for shirts, uniforms, and other garments?

Accepted Answer

es. It is highly suitable for mens and womens casual and formal shirts, shirt-dresses, blouses, kurtas/kurti, light summer dresses, lounge pants/pyjamas, palazzo/loose pants, and kids shirts, dresses, and nightwear. It is also appropriate for light-duty uniform shirts (corporate and school), scrubs-style tops, and accessories like lightweight scarves, pocket squares, handkerchiefs, as well as light home-textile applications such as decorative pillow and cushion covers, where a crisp yet soft, lightweight cotton is desired.

Question 4

What about shrinkage, shade consistency, and colorfastness for Nokia-Slate Blue?

Accepted Answer

Being 100% cotton, normal residual shrinkage is expected and should be controlled with standard pre-shrinking processes (pre-wash or tumble-dry test before bulk cutting). Shade is solid-dyed in slate blue; commercial shade variations between lots are possible and industry-accepted, so lab dips or cutting swatches from current lots are recommended for shade approval before large orders. Colorfastness and shrinkage performance will depend on actual bulk processing and any buyer-specific washing/finishing; testing to your standards (washing, rubbing, perspiration) is advised.

Question 5

What are the production and handling considerations (MOQ, lead time, cutting & care)?

Accepted Answer

The fabric is offered on a “Never-Out-of-Stock” supply model, supporting repeat orders and ongoing programs. Standard packing is approx. 120 meters per roll; specific roll lengths, folding, and labeling can typically be aligned to buyer requirements subject to MOQ (to be finalized as per your program). For best results, relax the fabric and, where possible, pre-wash or pre-set before bulk cutting—especially for tailored uniforms and fitted garments. Store rolls in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain shade and finish quality.
