Scuba Knit Fabric with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Swimwear
This scuba knit 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 soft-touch rubber coating surface, the 320 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps swimwear 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
