Fabric library
Every garment starts as a fabric decision, and it is the single biggest lever on how the piece hangs, feels, and prices. These are the fabrics we cut most on our own floor — what each one is, what it is best at, and how to pick one when you have never ordered production before.
GSM is grams per square meter — the weight of the fabric. Every number on this page, on one line.

Knit cotton brushed on the inside for softness and loft, heavy enough to hold a silhouette instead of collapsing into it. The structured drape is what makes an oversized fit read intentional.
400–500 GSM · hoodies, heavyweight sets, statement pieces
A loopback knit — soft loops inside instead of brushing — that sits lighter than fleece and drapes better. The year-round choice, and what most warm-climate drops are built on.
Mid-weight · hoodies, joggers, lighter sets
The tee fabric. Combing removes the short fibers that cause pilling and fading, so a well-spun lighter tee outlives a cheap heavier one — it is the difference buyers feel but cannot name.
180–260 GSM · t-shirts, from classic to boxy
Cotton hand-feel with polyester's durability and shape retention. Balanced stretch, holds up to repeated washing, and takes print well.
Everyday tees, joggers, uniform programs
Moisture-wicking four-way stretch that recovers its shape and takes sublimation at full saturation. At 200 GSM and above with 12% spandex it stays opaque under stretch.
88/12 at 200–220 GSM · activewear, jerseys, training kit
A technical shell woven with a reinforcement grid that stops tears from spreading. Light, wind-resistant, and coated where the design needs weather protection.
Windbreakers, shells, technical outerwear
A textured thermal-weight knit whose grid traps warmth without fleece's bulk. Reads elevated up close, which is why it carries premium basics.
Thermal-weight · elevated basics and layering pieces
A heavyweight ribbed knit with pronounced horizontal cords. Structure is the point — it holds a collar or a boxy body exactly where the pattern put it.
Structured crewnecks, collars, trims
How to choose
A hoodie, a tee, and a windbreaker each have two or three fabrics that make sense — the garment shortlists for you. Tell us what you are making and the conversation gets short.
Around 180 GSM is tee territory, 300–340 is the jogger and set sweet spot, 400+ is heavyweight structure, and 500 is a statement. Heavier hangs; lighter moves.
Two fabrics at the same GSM can feel completely different. Combing, ring-spinning, and knit structure decide pilling, fading, and hand-feel — which is why we talk fabrics, not just numbers.
A single piece in about 7 days settles what no chart can: how the fabric feels on a body, in your cut, with your print. The sample you approve is the reference the whole run is held to.
Grams per square meter — the weight of the fabric. It drives drape, warmth, structure, and price more than any other single spec, which is why every fabric conversation starts there.
Yes. Send a Pantone code or a physical reference and we dye to it, with a lab dip you approve before bulk. That approval step is what keeps a color consistent across fabrics and reorders.
Usually, yes. This page is what we cut most, not everything we can get. Send a reference garment or a spec and we'll tell you honestly whether we can source it and what it changes.
No. Above about 240 GSM on a tee, drape starts costing you as much as weight buys, and a heavy fleece in a hot market gets worn twice. The right weight is the one that fits the garment and the climate it sells into.
Send us a garment you love — yours or anyone's — and we'll identify the fabric and match it. Failing that, describe the feel you want and the sample settles it in 7–10 days.
A photo, a Pantone code, or a garment you love — that's enough to start. We quote within 24 hours, and a single sample piece ships in about 7 days.
