Whether you are manufacturing shirts, trousers, jackets, or bags, choosing the right pocketing fabric ensures better performance and customer satisfaction.

Understand the Function of Pocketing Fabric

Pocketing fabric is designed to withstand frequent use, carry weight, and resist wear and tear. A poorly chosen pocketing material can tear easily or shrink after washing, which will negatively impact the garment’s longevity.

Key Factors to Consider

  • Strength & Durability: Twill and T/C fabric (poly-cotton blends) are excellent for workwear fabric and uniforms.
  • Comfort: For shirt fabric and casual wear, lightweight poplin or plain weave pocketing offers breathability.
  • Shrinkage Control: Fabrics with pre-shrinking or finishing treatments ensure dimensional stability.
  • Color & Print Options: Dyed or printed pocketing fabrics can match or contrast the garment for aesthetic appeal.
  • Cost Efficiency: Choose fabrics that balance price and performance—essential for bulk production.

Recommended Pocketing Fabric Types

  • T/C Pocketing Fabric (65/35 or 80/20): Widely used for trousers, uniforms, and bag lining fabric due to strength and affordability.
  • 100% Cotton Pocketing: Ideal for premium shirt fabric and breathable garments.
  • Polyester Pocketing Fabric: Popular in bag lining and sportswear for toughness and quick-dry properties.

Application Examples

  • Shirting: Light T/C poplin or cotton plain weave. See our Shirting Fabric Collection.
  • Workwear & Uniforms: Strong twill or herringbone pocketing. Learn more in our Workwear Fabric Section.
  • Bag Lining: Durable polyester or heavy canvas—explore our Pocketing & Bag Lining Fabric.
  • Functional Wear: Ripstop pocketing for outdoor and military garments.
