Pique Knit Fabric with Mercerised Finish for Sneakers
This pique 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 mercerised finish surface, the 210 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps sneakers 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 elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
