Developed for Base Layers, this Ponte Roma Knit answers the most common brief we receive: next-to-skin comfort with continuous moisture movement. The yarn package is recycled polyester spandex with coffee ground filament, chosen because it provides odour control combined with a credible recycled content story, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Thermal Brushed.

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.

Recommended applications
Used for Base Layers and for the accessories around them. next-to-skin comfort with continuous moisture movement is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

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.

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.
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.
