Fabrics & Materials Expertise

The right garment starts with the right material.

The foundation of every garment starts with choosing the right fabric, construction and finishing route. We use the material brief as a starting point for composition, GSM, finish, stretch and testing discussions around the product.

01Composition

Define the fiber mix around the product and end use.

02GSM & Weight

Balance feel, structure and performance requirements.

03Finish & Stretch

Develop the handle, appearance and movement the style needs.

04Testing Needs

Align material performance with buyer and market requirements.

Our Fabric Library

Explore materials by construction and performance.

Use the library as a starting point for fabric discussions. Final composition, GSM, finish, stretch and testing requirements can be developed around the product.

Yarn & Yarn Dyeing

The right dyeing route for the right product.

Method choice depends on yarn type, product effect, volume, handle and consistency requirements.

01

Package Dyeing

Scalable shade consistency for many cotton, polyester and viscose yarn programs.

02

Hank Dyeing

Useful where soft handle and lower yarn tension are important.

03

Beam Dyeing

Suited to warp and higher-volume woven yarn preparation.

04

Space Dyeing

Creates controlled multi-colour effects for fashion and specialty products.

Fabric Quality Focus

Small material variables can create big product problems.

Yarn quality, GSM, shrinkage, dyeing and finishing all influence garment performance.

✓Yarn quality and construction
✓GSM and weight consistency
✓Shrinkage and relaxation control
✓Shade, colourfastness and dyeing quality
✓Finishing, width, skew, bowing and hand feel
