Tencel Lyocell Fabric with Soft-Touch Rubber Coating for Caps
This tencel lyocell 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 450 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps caps 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 shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
