Cotton Fabric with Mercerised Finish for Workwear
This cotton 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 360 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps workwear 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 an interlining that bubbled after the first press, or an interlining that bubbled after the first press. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
