Application sourcing guide

Gymwear Fabric

Gymwear spans lightweight training tees, supportive stretch layers, leggings and shorts, so the right construction depends on fit, opacity, stretch direction and intended garment zone.

Buyer brief

What to define before sampling

  • State whether the garment is loose, regular or close fitting.

  • For stretch garments, specify direction of stretch and any recovery requirement.

  • Define GSM, finished width, shade, hand and testing needs against the intended garment.

Selection starting point

Separate loose training tops from close-fitting stretch garments before choosing construction and GSM.
