Flame Retardant Fabric with Enzyme Wash Finish for Footwear
This flame retardant fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the enzyme wash finish surface, the 160 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps footwear consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
