Cotton Fabric with Black Nickel Finish for Shirts
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 black nickel finish surface, the 320 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps shirts 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 a trim that passed sampling but failed in-line because it was never cycle tested. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
