90% Polyester 10% Spandex Four-Way Stretch Recovery Seamless Circular Knit is a seamless circular knit developed for Leggings where squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat decides whether a style succeeds. The base is 90% polyester filament / 10% spandex, which gives stable dimensions and easy care at a competitive price. The result is a fabric that delivers Four-Way Stretch Recovery in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a seamless circular knit means tubular production that removes the side seam entirely, and that structure is what allows the fabric to extends in both directions and returns without bagging under the conditions Leggings actually face.

Performance features
- Four-Way Stretch Recovery: extends in both directions and returns without bagging, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: stable dimensions and easy care at a competitive price.
- Construction benefit: tubular production that removes the side seam entirely.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
The first choice for Leggings, where squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

Frequently asked questions
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
Can we get recycled content with this construction? In most cases yes. GRS certified recycled nylon or polyester can replace the virgin yarn with full chain of custody documents, usually with no visible change in hand or performance.
