4-Way Stretch Woven — Custom Manufacturer & Wholesale Supplier

Some garments need a woven face: a jogger that does not bag at the knee, a training pant with a clean line, a jacket that sheds a light shower. Stretch woven gives structure without giving up movement.

Buyer questions

4-Way Stretch Woven — what buyers ask

Is stretch woven as comfortable as a knit?

No, and it is not meant to be. Woven gives structure and a crisper surface; knit gives stretch and drape. Choose woven when the garment needs to hold a line — a knit alternative will always feel softer.

Can jackets be made from it?

Yes, with lamination or a PU coating applied at the finishing stage. That is a different process route, so tell us at the brief stage rather than after the fabric is dyed.

Is this produced in the same mill as the knits?

No. Woven qualities come from a partner mill with woven and coating capability. We confirm availability and lead time before quoting, because woven capacity books differently from knitting.

What is the minimum order?

300 kg per colour dyed-to-order; coated and laminated versions carry a higher minimum set by the finishing line.
