Can any fabric be sourced?
Availability depends on the requested composition, construction, color, quantity and supplier availability.
Service overview
Fabric selection is one of the earliest decisions in sportswear development. The right textile depends on the garment, intended sport, climate, fit, decoration method and budget. A clear material brief helps narrow the options and reduces confusion during sampling and production.
Start with product use
A match jersey, training short, warm-up jacket and compression garment may need different material characteristics. Describe the activity, climate, fit preference, expected wear, and whether the product should feel lightweight, structured, stretchy or warm.
Compare textile characteristics
Review fibre composition, fabric weight, stretch and recovery, surface texture, opacity, drying behavior and care requirements. No fabric is best for every application. The objective is to balance the required performance with material availability and construction needs.
Check decoration compatibility
Fabric should be considered alongside printing and embroidery. Sublimation is generally suited to compatible polyester material, while other decoration methods have different requirements. Confirm the proposed fabric and decoration method together before approval.
Request swatches or samples
Where available, a swatch or sample garment helps assess hand feel, color, opacity and construction. Record the selected material and any approved substitute in the product specification.
Prepare a sourcing brief
Share the garment type, estimated quantity, colors, target market, fabric preferences, performance priorities and reference examples. Availability, minimums, price and lead time must be confirmed for the actual order.
Important: Availability, options, minimum quantities, pricing and timing depend on the confirmed project. Verify these details before committing to an order or production schedule.
