Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT) Explained: How It Works in Performance Sportswear
Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT) is best understood as brushed warp knit with soft face and reverse. This entry explains how it behaves inside a finished garment rather than only in the laboratory.
What the term means
brushed warp knit with soft face and reverse, which is why the value appears on almost every technical data sheet. Working figures for Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT) normally sit around 150-220 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit then raising on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Why it matters in practice
it is common in comfortable lining fabric, so it influences buying decisions more than most buyers expect. Record elastane content alongside Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT), because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 150-220 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Typical values seen in activewear
150-220 GSM. Ranges vary by construction, so compare like with like. Keeping reference values for Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT) lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with warp knit then raising, since both affect the reading.
How it is measured
warp knit then raising is the reference normally quoted on a test report. Working figures for Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT) normally sit around 150-220 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit then raising on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Frequent mistakes
Comparing results from different standards, testing unwashed fabric, and writing the target without tolerance are the common errors. Record elastane content alongside Tricot Brush Tricot (TBT), because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 150-220 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
