Fabric by garment — start from what you are making

Most buyers do not arrive looking for a knit structure, they arrive looking for “fabric for leggings” or “sports bra fabric”. Six routes, each mapped to the qualities we would actually quote for that garment.

6 qualities

Leggings fabric

Six qualities for compression tights, buttery studio leggings, printed e-commerce pairs and ribbed sets. Mill-direct from Guangdong and Fujian, dyed to your Pantone.

Why start from the garment

The same 220 gsm nylon spandex that makes a soft studio legging is the wrong choice for a bib short, and the compression knit that holds a training tight will feel like armour in a bralette. Composition and weight describe a fabric; the garment decides whether it works. Each route below states the failure that ends the garment’s life, then maps it to the qualities that survive it.

If your garment is not on the list — a sports hijab, a rash guard, a shaping bodysuit — send the tech pack. We would rather tell you that none of the thirteen fits than quote a fabric you will have to replace at sampling.

Not sure which garment route fits?

Describe the style and the performance claim. We will point you at the right collection page, or say plainly that we do not make the fabric it needs.
