About Our fabric
Our fabric collection represents the pinnacle of modern knitting technology and material science. We specialize in a wide range of weights, compositions, and finishes to suit diverse apparel categories. Below is a detailed breakdown of our core custom offerings.
Fleece Fabric
When it comes to warmth and softness, our Custom Fleece Fabric stands in a class of its own. We specialize in various types of fleece, including polar fleece, microfleece, coral fleece, and heavy-duty sherpa. The customization process for our fleece begins with the selection of high-quality polyester or blended yarns, followed by precise knitting on specialized circular machines. The magic of fleece happens in the finishing: we utilize advanced brushing and shearing techniques to achieve the desired loft and hand-feel. We can adjust the density (GSM) typically ranging from 150g to 450g to suit everything from lightweight base layers to heavy winter outerwear. Furthermore, our Custom Fleece Fabric can be treated with anti-pilling finishes to ensure the surface remains smooth even after multiple washes. We also offer anti-static treatments and moisture-wicking capabilities, making our fleece ideal for both casual loungewear and technical outdoor gear. Whether you need a specific Pantone color or a unique mélange effect, our dyeing facility ensures deep, vibrant hues with excellent color fastness.
Bonded Fabric
Our Custom Bonded Fabric solutions are engineered for high-performance applications, particularly in the outdoor and workwear sectors. Bonding involves laminating two or more layers of fabric together—usually a shell fabric, a functional membrane, and a backing fabric like fleece or jersey. This process creates a “softshell” material that is windproof, waterproof, and yet remains breathable. At Fudora, we use high-quality TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) or PTFE membranes to ensure our Custom Bonded Fabric meets specific hydrostatic pressure and moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) requirements. We can customize each layer; for instance, you might choose a high-density polyester jersey for the face and a cozy grid fleece for the interior. Our bonding technology ensures that the layers do not delaminate even under heavy use or frequent laundering. This versatility makes bonded fabrics the preferred choice for technical jackets, tactical gear, and high-end sportswear where protection from the elements is paramount without sacrificing the wearer’s comfort.
Jersey Fabric
The foundation of modern apparel, our Custom Jersey Fabric, offers endless possibilities for customization in weight, stretch, and texture. We produce everything from ultra-lightweight single jersey for summer tees to heavy-duty interlock jersey for structured garments. By utilizing a mix of natural fibers like combed cotton and synthetic fibers like spandex or recycled polyester, we create fabrics with superior drape and recovery. For our Custom Jersey Fabric, we offer various specialized finishes, including “silicon washing” for an extra-soft touch, “enzyme washing” to remove surface fuzz, and “moisture-management” treatments for athletic applications. We can customize the knit gauge to produce fine, smooth surfaces or more textured, rustic looks. Widths can be adjusted to optimize your cutting efficiency, and our color-matching process ensures that your brand’s signature shades are replicated with 100% accuracy. From 120 GSM to 300+ GSM, our jersey is the go-to choice for brands demanding versatility and premium quality.
Terry Fabric
Our Custom Terry Fabric—often referred to as French Terry—is a staple for high-quality hoodies, sweatshirts, and activewear. Characterized by its flat knit face and looped back, this fabric provides excellent moisture absorption and heat retention. We offer customization of the loop structure itself; you can opt for a “brushed back” for a fuzzy, fleece-like interior or a “unbrushed” look for a cleaner, more breathable finish. The weight of our Custom Terry Fabric is highly adjustable, typically ranging from 200g to 500g, allowing for the creation of both lightweight summer pullovers and substantial, premium-weight streetwear hoodies. We can also incorporate different fiber blends, such as CVC (Chief Value Cotton) for durability or organic cotton for sustainable collections. The durability of our terry is unmatched, with low shrinkage rates and high resistance to torque, ensuring that the garments maintain their shape and fit throughout their lifecycle.
Mesh Fabric
In the world of athletic and industrial apparel, Custom Mesh Fabric is essential for ventilation and lightweight structure. We manufacture a variety of mesh types, including bird’s-eye mesh, tricot mesh, and sandwich mesh (spacer fabric). Our customization options include adjusting the hole size and shape to balance breathability with opacity. For performance-driven brands, we can infuse our Custom Mesh Fabric with silver ion anti-bacterial treatments, UV protection, and rapid-dry technology. The tensile strength of our mesh is rigorously tested, making it suitable not only for garment panels and linings but also for bags and footwear components. We use high-tenacity polyester and nylon yarns to ensure that even the finest mesh remains resistant to snagging and tearing. Whether you need a vibrant neon for safety wear or a subtle, matte finish for a luxury sports line, our mesh customization provides the technical edge your products need.
Recycled Fabric
Sustainability is at the core of our future-focused manufacturing, and our Custom Recycled Fabric line reflects this commitment. We utilize post-consumer recycled polyester (rPET), often derived from plastic bottles, to create high-quality yarns that perform identically to virgin materials. Our Custom Recycled Fabric can be produced in almost any knit structure—from fleece to jersey. Every order in this category is backed by our GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification, providing full traceability from the waste source to the finished textile. We help brands transition to eco-friendly models without compromising on the hand-feel, durability, or dyeing quality of the fabric. By choosing recycled options, our clients significantly reduce their carbon footprint and water consumption. We also offer recycled cotton blends and biodegradable additives, making our Custom Recycled Fabric the premier choice for ethical fashion brands and environmentally conscious consumers globally.
Jacquard Fabric
For brands seeking intricate patterns and tactile luxury, our Custom Jacquard Fabric offers a sophisticated alternative to printed designs. Unlike prints, jacquard patterns are knitted directly into the fabric structure using specialized machines with individual needle control. This allow us to create complex geometric designs, brand logos, or floral motifs with depth and texture. Our Custom Jacquard Fabric can be produced in single-knit or double-knit varieties, utilizing multiple colors of yarn to create a rich, multi-dimensional effect. This fabric is particularly popular for premium knitwear, designer sweatshirts, and high-end athleisure. Because the design is part of the knit, it will never fade, crack, or peel, ensuring the garment looks pristine for years. We work closely with designers to translate their digital artwork into technical knit files, ensuring every detail of the jacquard pattern is executed with precision.
Velvet Fabric
Our Custom Velvet Fabric (including velour and crushed velvet) brings a touch of elegance and warmth to any collection. Velvet is characterized by its short, dense pile, which creates a soft, lustrous surface. We customize velvet by adjusting the pile height and density to achieve different levels of sheen and “crush” effects. Our Custom Velvet Fabric is frequently produced with a spandex blend to provide the necessary stretch for form-fitting garments like evening wear, leggings, and luxury loungewear. We also offer technical velvet options with water-repellent finishes for use in high-end outerwear. The dyeing process for velvet is particularly critical; we use specialized vats to ensure deep saturation and a uniform pile direction. Whether you are looking for a classic, deep burgundy or a modern, metallic-sheen silver, our velvet customization ensures a rich, tactile experience that exudes quality and sophistication.
Scuba Fabric
Custom Scuba Fabric, also known as air-layer or spacer fabric, has become a favorite in the fashion industry for its ability to hold structural shapes while remaining incredibly soft. This double-knit fabric consists of two layers connected by a layer of tuck stitches or monofilament yarn, creating a “sandwich” that traps air for insulation and provides a “springy” hand-feel. We customize our Custom Scuba Fabric by varying the thickness and the stiffness of the connecting yarns. This allows for the creation of garments with architectural silhouettes—like flared skirts or structured hoodies—that don’t require heavy interlinings. Our scuba is often made with a blend of polyester, rayon, and spandex, offering a smooth, almost “liquid” drape. It is highly resistant to wrinkling and maintains its clean, crisp look even after long hours of wear. We can also add functional finishes like anti-microbial or cooling treatments to make our Custom Scuba Fabric suitable for high-end activewear and modern corporate attire.
About Custom
Navigating the custom fabric manufacturing process can be complex, but at Fudora, we have streamlined it into a transparent, step-by-step journey. We provide a one-stop solution that takes your initial concept and transforms it into a market-ready textile, managing everything from yarn sourcing to final quality assurance.
Structures & Specs
The first step in our customization journey is defining the Structures & Specs of your desired fabric. This is where we translate your design requirements into technical parameters. We begin by discussing the fiber composition—whether you need 100% natural fibers like cotton, synthetic performance fibers like polyester or nylon, or a functional blend with spandex for stretch. We then determine the knit structure (e.g., single jersey, interlock, or 3-end terry) and the Gauge (the number of needles per inch), which dictates the fineness of the knit. Crucially, we define the GSM (Grams per Square Meter) to ensure the weight is appropriate for the season and end-use. Our team also consults on the effective width of the fabric to minimize waste during your garment cutting process. By nailing down these Structures & Specs early, we create a technical blueprint that ensures the final product meets your expectations for drape, thickness, and elasticity.
Testing & Quality
At Fudora Textile, we believe that quality is not an accident; it is the result of rigorous Testing & Quality protocols. Once a sample or bulk batch is produced, it undergoes a battery of tests in our in-house laboratory and, upon request, at third-party facilities like SGS or ITS. We test for color fastness to washing, light, and perspiration to ensure your colors stay vibrant. We also evaluate physical properties such as pilling resistance, bursting strength, and dimensional stability (shrinkage). For performance fabrics, we conduct specialized Testing & Quality checks for water repellency, breathability ratings, and moisture-wicking speeds. Every yard of fabric we produce is subject to a 100% inspection using the 4-point system before it leaves our facility. This commitment to Testing & Quality ensures that our clients receive consistent, defect-free rolls, reducing their own production risks and protecting their brand reputation.
Sourcing & Process
Our Sourcing & Process workflow is designed for maximum efficiency and transparency. It begins with the ethical sourcing of high-quality yarns from a network of trusted partners we have built since 2008. Once the yarn is secured, the knitting process begins under the watchful eye of our technical supervisors. Following knitting, the fabric undergoes dyeing and specialized finishing—be it brushing, bonding, or chemical treatments. Throughout the Sourcing & Process cycle, we provide regular updates and “Golden Samples” for your approval. Our typical lead time for bulk production is 25-45 days, depending on the complexity of the fabric. We handle all documentation, from GRS certificates for recycled materials to shipping manifests, ensuring a smooth transition from our factory to your warehouse. This end-to-end Sourcing & Process management allows our clients to focus on design and marketing, knowing their supply chain is in expert hands.
About Clothing Application
Choosing the right fabric for the right application is the difference between a garment that sits on a shelf and one that becomes a customer favorite. Our fabrics are engineered with the end-user in mind, ensuring the perfect balance of aesthetics and performance.
Knitted Casual Sweatpants
For Knitted Casual Sweatpants, comfort and durability are the primary drivers. We typically recommend our heavy-weight French Terry or our premium Fleece fabrics. These materials provide the necessary “body” to maintain the trouser’s shape while offering a soft, brushed interior for maximum skin comfort. Customization for sweatpants often involves adding a small percentage of spandex to the ribbing and main fabric to prevent “bagging” at the knees. Our fabrics for Knitted Casual Sweatpants are also treated to be low-shrinkage, ensuring that the fit remains consistent after home laundering. Whether for a high-street fashion brand or an athletic recovery line, we provide the density and hand-feel required for high-quality joggers.
Short-Sleeve / Long-Sleeve T-Shirts
The most versatile items in any wardrobe, Short-Sleeve / Long-Sleeve T-Shirts, require fabrics that are breathable, soft, and easy to dye. Our Custom Jersey Fabric is the ideal candidate here. For premium T-shirts, we use long-staple combed cotton or Tencel blends that offer a silky touch and excellent drape. For activewear tees, we utilize moisture-wicking polyester jerseys with anti-odor finishes. We can customize the GSM for Short-Sleeve / Long-Sleeve T-Shirts to be lightweight for summer (140-160 GSM) or heavier for a “boxy” streetwear fit (220-280 GSM). Our precision dyeing ensures that even after multiple washes, the colors of these staple items remain as rich as the day they were bought.
Polo Shirts
Polo Shirts demand a fabric with a bit more structure than a standard tee. We recommend our Piqué knit or heavy-duty Jersey. Piqué is particularly popular for Polo Shirts because of its breathable, textured surface that helps move moisture away from the body. We can customize the collar and cuff ribs to perfectly match the body fabric in color and weight. For a more modern, performance-oriented polo, we offer bonded fabrics or mesh inserts for targeted ventilation. Our fabrics for Polo Shirts are engineered for high color fastness and low torque, ensuring the side seams don’t twist after washing—a common issue in lower-quality garments.
Thin Sweatshirts / Hoodies
For Thin Sweatshirts / Hoodies, often used for layering in spring or autumn, our lightweight French Terry or “Air Layer” Scuba fabrics are perfect. These materials provide just enough warmth without being bulky. We can customize the face of the fabric to be ultra-smooth for high-definition screen printing or embroidery. For Thin Sweatshirts / Hoodies, we often suggest a CVC blend (Cotton/Polyester) which offers the breathability of cotton with the wrinkle resistance and durability of polyester. This ensures the garment looks crisp even after a full day of wear.
Casual Loose-Fitting Shirts
Casual Loose-Fitting Shirts benefit from fabrics with a relaxed drape and a bit of texture. Our Custom Jacquard Fabric or lightweight Jersey can be adapted for this style. We focus on creating materials that have a “fluid” movement, allowing the garment to flow with the body. For Casual Loose-Fitting Shirts, we often use enzyme washes to give the fabric a “lived-in” softness. Customizing the fiber blend to include Rayon or Viscose can further enhance the drape, making these shirts a favorite for summer casual wear or upscale loungewear.
Tank Tops / Base Layer Tank Tops
Functionality is key for Tank Tops / Base Layer Tank Tops. Since these garments sit directly against the skin, we prioritize softness and moisture management. Our lightweight Mesh or fine-gauge Jersey is typically used. For Tank Tops / Base Layer Tank Tops, we often incorporate high percentages of Spandex (8-15%) to ensure a snug, supportive fit that moves with the wearer. Anti-bacterial finishes are a popular customization for this category, helping to keep the wearer fresh during intense physical activity or long days of wear.
Loungewear Sets
The rise of the “stay-at-home” economy has made Loungewear Sets a booming category. We utilize our softest Velvet, Fleece, and heavy-weight Jersey to create fabrics that define relaxation. For Loungewear Sets, we focus on a “cashmere-like” hand-feel through specialized brushing and finishing. We can customize the colors to match the “muted” and earthy tones currently trending in the loungewear market. Our fabrics are designed to be durable enough for sleeping but stylish enough for a quick trip to the grocery store.
Casual Dresses
Casual Dresses require a fabric that can hold its shape while remaining comfortable for all-day wear. Our Scuba and heavy-weight Jersey are excellent choices. These fabrics provide enough “substance” to hide underwear lines while offering the stretch needed for ease of movement. For Casual Dresses, we can customize the knit to have a subtle sheen for a more dressed-up look or a matte finish for everyday wear. Our ability to provide wide-width fabrics is particularly beneficial for dress manufacturing, as it allows for larger pattern pieces and more creative designs.
Softshell Jackets / Mid-Layer Jackets
For Softshell Jackets / Mid-Layer Jackets, we turn to our Custom Bonded Fabric. These garments need to protect against wind and light rain while remaining breathable during activity. We can customize the “3-layer” bond: a water-repellent outer shell, a breathable TPU membrane, and a warm fleece or mesh lining. For Softshell Jackets / Mid-Layer Jackets, we ensure that the bonding is robust and that the fabric maintains its flexibility even in cold temperatures. This technical approach makes our fabrics the choice of premium outdoor and workwear brands globally.
Yoga Wear
Yoga Wear is perhaps the most demanding category in terms of fabric performance. We produce high-gauge, “interlock” knits that are completely opaque (squat-proof). Our fabrics for Yoga Wear feature 4-way stretch and high recovery, ensuring they don’t lose their shape over time. We can apply specialized “peached” finishes for a buttery-soft feel or “cool-touch” finishes for high-intensity sessions. Customization also includes moisture-wicking and quick-dry technologies, ensuring that the yogi remains dry and comfortable throughout their practice.
Bathrobes / Hotel / Spa Wear
For Bathrobes / Hotel / Spa Wear, we specialize in heavy-duty Terry and soft Velvet fabrics. These materials are engineered for high water absorption and extreme durability, as they must withstand the rigorous industrial laundering processes typical of the hospitality industry. We can customize the pile height of the Bathrobes / Hotel / Spa Wear fabric to provide a plush, luxurious feel. Our dyeing process for this category is specifically designed to resist bleach and harsh detergents, ensuring that hotel whites stay white and brand colors stay true over hundreds of wash cycles.
About Sustainability & Certifications
In today’s textile landscape, environmental responsibility is not optional—it is a core pillar of our operations at Fudora Textile. We are fully committed to reducing the environmental impact of textile production through sustainable sourcing and clean manufacturing processes. Central to this commitment is our GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification. This international, voluntary standard sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. By adhering to GRS standards, we provide our clients with fully traceable recycled polyester and nylon fabrics, ensuring that the “recycled” claim on their garment tags is backed by rigorous documentation.
Furthermore, we prioritize human health and safety by ensuring our fabrics meet the OEKO-TEX 100 standard. This is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. When a fabric carries the OEKO-TEX 100 seal, it means every component—from the yarn to the dyes and finishes—has been tested against a list of up to 350 regulated and non-regulated chemicals that may be harmful to human health. This is particularly important for brands producing intimate apparel, baby clothing, or garments for sensitive skin. At Fudora, our sustainable approach also extends to water conservation and energy efficiency within our 4,000 SQM facility. We utilize eco-friendly dyes and closed-loop systems where possible, helping our brand partners meet their own ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals. By choosing Fudora, you are partnering with a manufacturer that values the planet as much as the product.
