Shirting Fabric 1

When sourcing fabrics for garments or home textiles, buyers often face a wide variety of options. Each fabric type offers unique advantages in comfort, durability, and style. At Jinjiatex, we specialize in woven fabrics such as Shirting Fabrics, Workwear Fabrics, and Pocketing & Lining Fabrics, delivering consistent quality to global buyers. This article will guide you through selecting the right fabric for your project.

 Shirting Fabrics – Comfort and Style Combined

Shirting fabric is essential for formalwear, uniforms, and casual shirts. Popular choices include T/C poplin (65/35 polyester cotton), cotton oxford, and twill. These fabrics balance breathability with wrinkle resistance, making them suitable for school uniforms and office wear. Buyers can explore our Shirting Collection for detailed specifications. Keywords: shirting fabric, poplin fabric, oxford shirting, uniform fabric.

Workwear Fabrics – Durability for Demanding Environments

Workwear requires fabrics that can withstand frequent use and harsh conditions. Workwear fabrics such as polyester cotton twill, drill, and gabardine are durable and resistant to shrinkage. Some can be treated with flame-retardant or water-repellent finishes. This makes them suitable for industries including construction, security, and logistics. Our Workwear Fabric series offers multiple weights and finishes to meet diverse needs. Keywords: workwear fabric, twill fabric, durable uniform material.

Pocketing & Lining Fabrics – Hidden but Essential

Although often overlooked, pocketing fabrics play a critical role in garments. Polyester cotton blends, taffeta, and pongee are commonly used for pockets and linings. These fabrics provide structure, prevent wear, and enhance comfort. At Jinjiatex, we supply Pocketing and Lining Fabrics tailored to apparel and bag manufacturers. Keywords: pocketing fabric, lining fabric, bag lining material.

Seasonal Fabrics – Meeting Market Trends

Beyond basics, winter fabrics such as Polar Fleece, cotton flannel, and Korean velvet are rising in demand. These textiles offer warmth, softness, and fashion appeal for jackets, hoodies, and blankets. Seasonal fabrics help brands respond quickly to consumer needs and changing weather. Keywords: polar fleece, flannel fabric, korean velvet.

 Key Factors in Fabric Selection

  • Composition: Cotton offers breathability; polyester adds strength; blends provide balance.
  • Weight (GSM): Lighter fabrics for shirting; heavier fabrics for workwear or outerwear.
  • Width: Standard 150cm is common, but wider options save cutting costs.
  • Finishing: Brushed, coated, or functional finishes improve performance.
  • Price & MOQ: Factory-direct supply ensures competitive cost and flexible minimum orders.
