When to choose stretch jersey
Stretch jersey is useful when a garment must move with the body and recover after
wearing. It is common for fitted tops, slim tees, base layers, kidswear, womenswear
and comfort-driven casual garments.
The right fabric is not only about spandex percentage. Recovery, width stability,
GSM, yarn quality, hand feel and shrinkage after washing should all be reviewed.
Stretch jersey RFQ checklist
Stretch direction
Confirm whether the style needs two-way stretch, four-way stretch or only mild recovery.
Spandex ratio
Higher elastane can improve recovery but affects cost, hand feel and dyeing behavior.
Garment use
Kidswear, fitted tops and base layers require different fabric weight and softness.
