Why this construction works
Because a stable double-knit construction is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: body and firmness without any need for lining. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Thermal Brushed fabric prepared for Cycling Jerseys production
Dyeing, finishing and customisation
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
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.
