Scuba Knit Fabric with Matte Black Coating for Activewear
This scuba 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 matte black coating surface, the 80 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 lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or shade drift between the approved lab dip and the bulk lot. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
