92% Recycled Polyester 8% Spandex Compression Interlock Knit is a double-bed interlock knit developed for Sports Bras where controlled support and soft contact at the underband decides whether a style succeeds. The base is 92% GRS recycled polyester / 8% spandex, which gives bottle-to-fabric traceability with full chain of custody records. The result is a fabric that delivers Compression in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a double-bed interlock knit means identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension, and that structure is what allows the fabric to delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on under the conditions Sports Bras actually face.

Performance features
- Compression: delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: bottle-to-fabric traceability with full chain of custody records.
- Construction benefit: identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension.
- 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 Sports Bras, where controlled support and soft contact at the underband 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
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.
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
