Why this construction works
Because a firm ponte roma double knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: a clean, structured surface with enough hold for tailored athleisure. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions

- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
