Interlock Knit Fabric with Sandblasted Finish for Trousers
This interlock 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 sandblasted finish surface, the 160 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps trousers 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 cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
