Both pictured qualities are 90% cotton, 10% polyester and 280 g/m². French terry has visible loops on the reverse; brushed fabric has a soft, raised surface. Weight alone does not determine warmth or handle. Compare samples for your garment and season.

Weight is not a quality score

French terry has visible loops on the reverse; brushed fabric has a brushed surface. Assess samples for the season and garment rather than judging softness from the name. Higher g/m² means greater mass per square metre, not automatically better durability. Compare usable width and consumption for lightweight trousers versus a heavy oversized sweatshirt.

Confirm composition and finishing, then compare ribbing beside the main fabric. Similar colour names do not guarantee identical shades across different constructions. These qualities are starting points for a quotation. We confirm the exact composition, usable width, colour and availability individually. If you are unsure, ask us to help choose.

Test the finished shape

Sew and wash a trial garment; inspect dimensions, seams and surface. Send fabric type, quantity and colour, or describe the garment for help selecting a base. Add the quantity, contact details and delivery country. Your selected base and print requirements will be included in the enquiry.

Made-to-order production and available stock rolls are different options. Standard plain-fabric production is approximately 100 kg per colour and quality; rolls typically weigh 15–20 kg. Typical lead time is 2–3 weeks after specification approval, subject to availability. Printing minima and timing are confirmed separately.
