A production-ready Interlock Knit for Hoodies and Joggers, specified around warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface. Composition is 87% polyester / 13% spandex, brushed face, which delivers a peach-skin surface without any heavy softening bath. Every lot is finished and tested so that Moisture-Wicking is measurable rather than claimed.

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 moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry under the conditions Hoodies and Joggers actually face.

Performance features
- Moisture-Wicking: moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry, measured by AATCC 195 moisture management.
- Hand and comfort: a peach-skin surface without any heavy softening bath.
- 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 Hoodies and Joggers, where warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface 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 the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
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.
