Swimwear fabrics are selected around stretch, recovery, opacity, hand, GSM and the required resistance or colour-fastness tests for the end market.
Define stretch direction and garment fit.
Specify target GSM, finished width and shade.
Include any chlorine, colour-fastness, recovery or dimensional-stability requirement as a test target rather than a generic claim.
Prioritise stretch, recovery, opacity and the exact resistance/fastness tests required by the market.
Ranking is deterministic and uses only current catalogue data: exact end-use tags, construction, stretch, GSM fit, family and listed properties. It is a sourcing shortlist, not a claim that one fabric is universally best.
Send the garment, GSM, width, stretch, finish, volume and testing requirements.
