Maroon 100% Cotton Poplin – 146 cm, 125 GSM | Mercerized & Brushed

Core specs — Construction: plain/poplin woven; Fibre: 100% cotton; Design: solid-dyed; Finish: mercerized + silicon + mechanical (brushed, carbon, laffer); Weight: 125 GSM (≈3.69 oz/yd²); Width: 146 cm (57.5 in); Motif: none; Standard pack: 120 m/roll. Typical production tolerances (industry standard): weight ±5% (so ~119–131 GSM), width ±1–2 cm, and shade variation within accepted lot tolerances. Exact tolerances for your order can be confirmed on the order/spec sheet or via lab test results.

Shrinkage — as a woven 100% cotton poplin, expect some relaxation shrinkage unless specially sanforized; typical raw shrinkage range is ~1–4% (depends on finishing). We recommend pre-wash testing or specifying pre-shrinking if critical. Colorfastness & shade stability — mercerization improves dye uptake and color depth for maroon; however, shade consistency between lots still requires lab-dips and strike-off approvals. Expect good wet/dry rub and laundering fastness vs. non-mercerized cotton, but final values depend on dye and fixation—please request test reports (AATCC/ISO) for required ratings. Pilling & hand — silicon and brushing increase softness and surface handle; pilling is typically low–moderate for mercerized poplin but should be validated via Martindale/pilling tests. Stretch & breathability — limited mechanical stretch (typical woven behavior), breathable for shirting and summer garments.

Recommended uses (based on supplied suitability): menswear shirts (formal/casual) and office/formal uniforms (90–92%), womenswear blouses/dresses (85–90%), unisex shirts/tops (85%), kids’ shirts/dresses (≈88%), and accessories like handkerchiefs/pocket squares (≈92%). It also works for lightweight trousers/shorts, nightwear, light bedsheets, and pillowcases where a crisp, breathable cotton is desired. Practical notes: for garments requiring body/structure (trousers, lined skirts) consider lining or interlining; for high-wear workwear/healthcare scrubs, evaluate abrasion and laundering durability requirements.

Base finishing is mercerized + silicon with mechanical brushing/carbon/laffer as supplied. Additional custom finishes (e.g., sanforization for controlled shrinkage, anti-microbial, stain-release, water-repellent, or special calendaring) can typically be applied on request but will affect hand, breathability and lead times. Color & print customization — solid maroon can be matched to lab-dip/standard shade cards; printed versions or yarn-dyed options require separate strike-offs. Always approve a lab-dip/strike-off and request AATCC/ISO test reports for required fastness ratings before bulk production.

Standard packing is 120 m per roll as provided. Supply model is listed as "Never-Out-of-Stock," indicating ready availability for replenishment; for first-time orders or large single-shade requests, confirm roll allocation and shade continuity. For quality control and repeat orders, buyers should request: lab-dip approval, pre-shipment inspection or certified test reports (shrinkage, colorfastness, pilling, strength). For handling/cutting: store rolls flat or upright in a dry, cool area, allow rolls to relax before cutting, and pre-wash samples if shrinkage control is required.
