FABRIC DIRECTION
Start With the Product Experience.
Instead of choosing by composition alone, define the intended use, hand feel, support and price position. We can then shortlist suitable fabric routes for sampling.
Supportive Training
More supportive directions for gym sets and compression styles, balancing hold, recovery, coverage and durability.
Lightweight & Breathable
Lighter options for warm-weather training, tennis and padel pieces where airflow, mobility and fast drying are priorities.
Structured Lifestyle
Selected knit or woven directions for jackets, hoodies and layers where drape, body, surface finish and seasonality lead.

COLOUR REFERENCECOLOUR DEVELOPMENT
Move From Reference Shade to Bulk Approval.
Share a Pantone reference, colour chip, sample garment or mood board. The suitable route depends on the selected fabric, order basis and whether stock colour or custom dyeing is used.
01
Share the ReferencePantone code, physical swatch or an agreed visual reference.
02
Confirm the Fabric BaseComposition, construction and finish can affect colour appearance.
03
Review a Lab Dip or SwatchCompare the physical sample under agreed lighting conditions.
04
Approve the Bulk StandardRecord the approved reference and tolerance before production.
REAL MATERIAL REFERENCES
Connect the Visual Direction to Physical Review.
Real fabric storage, colour tools and material references give buyers a clearer basis for comparing construction, shade and hand feel before garment sampling.
Images show real working references and material directions. Final availability, colour and performance are confirmed for each project.
MATERIAL MOODBOARD
Surface, Drape and Colour Work Together.
These visuals show possible aesthetic directions. Final fabric performance, colour and garment fit are confirmed through physical sampling.
APPROVAL WORKFLOW
A Clear Route From Brief to Bulk.
Each checkpoint reduces avoidable surprises. The exact steps depend on whether the project uses an available fabric, a stock colour or a custom-developed option.
Physical swatches and samples should be treated as the approval basis. Screen colours can vary by display, lighting and file settings.

Share garment type, target use, hand feel, performance priorities, colour direction, target price and estimated quantity.
Option Shortlist
Review available directions by composition, weight, construction, finish, colour route and commercial suitability.
Swatch or Lab Dip
Check physical hand feel and colour. Define any required testing before the garment sample is approved.
Garment Sample Review
Assess fit, stretch, recovery, opacity, support, seams and appearance on the actual style.
Bulk Standard Confirmation
Record the approved fabric, colour, trims and tolerances, then coordinate bulk quality checkpoints.

Pilling & Colourfastness
Agree relevant test methods and acceptance criteria based on product use and destination requirements.
Lighting & Dye-Lot Variation
Approve physical references under agreed lighting and define how bulk shade variation will be assessed.
MOQ Basis & Cost Impact
Stock colours and custom dyeing may have different minimums, costs and timing. Confirm per selected fabric.
Claims & Traceability
Verify any composition, recycled-content or performance claim against the relevant project documents.
FABRIC & COLOUR FAQ
Questions Buyers Usually Ask.
Answers are directional because the exact result depends on the selected fabric, garment construction, order basis and agreed test requirements.
View the full FAQ →Can I select a fabric by sending a reference garment?
Yes. A reference garment, fabric cutting or detailed brief can help communicate hand feel and performance. The closest suitable route should still be confirmed through a physical swatch and garment sample.
Can you match a Pantone colour exactly?
A Pantone reference can guide development, but appearance changes with fibre, construction, finish and lighting. Approval should be based on a physical lab dip or fabric swatch, with an agreed tolerance for bulk production.
Do custom colours affect MOQ and lead time?
They can. Custom dyeing may require a fabric-specific minimum and adds development and approval steps. Stock colours may offer a more flexible route. Confirm the basis after selecting the fabric.
How do we confirm squat-proof opacity?
Opacity should be reviewed on the actual garment, in the chosen colour and size, during movement. Fabric weight alone does not determine the result; stretch, knit construction, colour and fit all matter.
Can recycled or certified fabrics be sourced?
Relevant options may be discussed according to the project. The applicable supplier documentation, transaction scope and claim wording should be checked before any public sustainability claim is made.
What should I include in a fabric brief?
Include garment type, target use, desired hand feel, performance priorities, composition preference, target GSM, colour references, estimated quantity, target price and destination-market requirements.
