A production-ready Jacquard Knit for Leggings, specified around squat-proof coverage and recovery at the knee and seat. Composition is core-spun polyester with a cotton-like sheath, which delivers natural surface comfort with the drying speed of a synthetic. Every lot is finished and tested so that Compression is measurable rather than claimed.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a patterned jacquard knit means zoned structure and ventilation placed exactly where the pattern requires, and that structure is what allows the fabric to delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on under the conditions Leggings actually face.

Performance features
- Compression: delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: natural surface comfort with the drying speed of a synthetic.
- Construction benefit: zoned structure and ventilation placed exactly where the pattern requires.
- 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.
