Fabrics we manufacture in.
Knits sourced, knitted and finished around our factory in Tirupur, from 140 GSM summer jersey to 400 GSM brushed fleece. Choose the base, then we handle fit, decoration, trims and packing from 50 pieces per colour.
Fabric decides most of what a customer feels when they open the parcel: the weight in the hand, how the shoulder sits, whether the colour looks flat or rich. It also decides your unit cost, your shipping cost and how well a print survives ten washes. Getting it right at the start saves a repeat sample round and a margin problem later.
Tirupur is a knitwear town, so knits are what we do best: single jersey, French terry, fleece, rib and pique, in cotton, cotton-rich and organic or Supima versions of the same constructions. We also cut wovens such as twill and canvas for shorts, cargos and outer layers.
If you know the garment but not the weight, start with the GSM guide. If you know the weight but not the construction, the fabric pages below cover hand-feel, typical uses and what each base does under decoration.

Six pages to choose from
Each one covers the weight range, the hand-feel and the products it suits.
Cotton Jersey
Smooth face, dry clean handle, light at 180 GSM and genuinely structured at 280–320 GSM. The default base for tees.
- Suits tees, oversized tees, tanks and tops
- Combed, bio-washed or garment-dyed finishes
- Flat surface that prints crisply
French Terry
Loops on the inside, clean face outside. Dry and breathable rather than fluffy, so it wears across more of the year.
- Suits hoodies, crews, joggers and heavy tees
- Loopback or brushed back
- Stable knit that survives repeat washing
Fleece
Brushed back, soft and warm, with the weight that reads premium the moment someone picks the garment up.
- Suits heavyweight hoodies, crews and winter sets
- Brushed, garment-dyed or washed finishes
- Holds boxy and oversized shapes
Organic Cotton
A fibre choice rather than a construction: the same jersey, terry and fleece builds, knitted in organic and organic-rich yarn.
- Suits tees, hoodies and lifestyle basics
- Hand-feel close to combed conventional cotton
- We help you keep sourcing claims verifiable
Supima Cotton
Extra-long-staple cotton: softer, stronger and smoother-surfaced, so lighter weights still feel expensive.
- Suits luxury tees, polos and essentials
- Resists pilling and keeps its surface
- Fabric becomes part of the product story
GSM Guide
Which fabric weight for which garment, and what changes when you go heavier: drape, opacity, print, freight and unit price.
- Weight bands for tees, hoodies, polos and joggers
- Why leggings are not chosen by GSM
- The mistakes that cost a sample round
Five things that settle the fabric
Run a fabric past these before you approve a sample.
Weight
Weight sets the whole impression. A 180 GSM tee drapes and moves, a 300 GSM tee stands up on its own. Match the weight to the silhouette you have drawn, not to the heaviest number you can afford.
Stretch and recovery
Plain jersey and terry have natural knit stretch and little recovery. Add elastane where the garment has to come back to shape: waistbands, cuffs, leggings, fitted tops. Recovery matters more than stretch.
Durability
Longer-staple yarn, tighter knitting and compacted finishing all reduce pilling and twisting. If your customer wears the piece weekly, spend here before you spend on a heavier weight.
Decoration compatibility
Flat, smooth surfaces take fine detail. Brushed and looped surfaces soften edges and suit puff, embroidery and bold blocks. Polyester content rules sublimation in and water-based printing out. See decoration methods.
Cost per piece
Fabric is the biggest line in most knitwear quotes. Going from 240 to 320 GSM adds yarn to every unit and weight to every carton, so it moves both your factory cost and your freight.
Market and season
A drop selling into a hot, humid market behaves differently from one selling into a northern winter. Pick the weight your customer can actually wear for more than two months of the year.
Not sure yet? Order a fabric and fit sample before bulk. Sampling runs 10–22 days, and it is the cheapest place to change your mind.
Knit or woven
Knits are made from loops of yarn. They stretch, they drape softly and they recover to some extent on their own, which is why tees, hoodies, joggers and leggings are almost always knitted. Single jersey, French terry, fleece, rib and pique are all knits, and the difference between them is how the loops are built on the back of the fabric.
Wovens are made from yarns crossing at right angles. They barely stretch unless elastane is added, they hold a pressed edge and they carry structure, which is why shirts, cargos, woven shorts and outer layers use twill, poplin or canvas. Pattern-making is different too: a woven pattern needs ease built in because the fabric will not give.
Most brands we build for start knit-first because knits carry branding well, cost less to sample and forgive small fit errors. Wovens come in once the range needs bottoms or a jacket.

Fabric questions we get most
Yes. The MOQ is 50 pieces per style per colour, so a hoodie in fleece and a tee in cotton jersey can run in the same order. Sizes split freely inside a colour.
Yes. We send fabric options and then a full sample garment so you feel the weight and the finish before approving. Request a sample to start.
Flat cotton jersey takes the finest detail. Terry and fleece suit puff, embroidery and bolder artwork. Sublimation needs polyester. Screen printing runs through vetted partner units, managed by our QA team. See decoration methods.
No. Yarn quality, knitting and finishing decide how a garment ages. A well-made 200 GSM tee outlasts a poorly finished 300 GSM one. The GSM guide covers this in detail.
Send us the reference garment or a swatch with your tech pack. We match construction, weight and hand-feel as closely as the yarn available allows, and tell you honestly where it will differ.
