Silk Fabric with Silicone Wash Finish for Activewear
This silk 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 silicone wash finish surface, the 400 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps activewear 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 reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
