PU Leather Fur Trim for Sportswear — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
PU Leather Fur Trim for Sportswear: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
PU Leather Fur Trim is the version buyers specify for sportswear when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
PU Leather gives fur trim its durability under wash and abrasion. In practice that means the trim behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: the finish has to be applied before assembly. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.
Typical specification

Properties that matter in buying

- Colour fastness — tested to Bluesign on the actual base material, not on a substitute.
- Mechanical performance — abrasion resistance after 30 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — Bluesign documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.
