Selected by garment use.

Weavnora coordinates cotton jersey, French terry, brushed fleece, rib knit, labels, tapes and garment trims by construction, finished GSM, color, finish and intended product—not by fabric name alone.

Direct answer for B2B buyers

How should apparel buyers specify fabrics and trims?

A usable material brief names the intended garment, fiber composition, knit construction, finished GSM, width or yield requirement, color, surface finish, wash route, performance checks and matching trims. Weavnora's published ranges include 180–320 GSM cotton jersey, 280–460 GSM French terry, 300–500 GSM brushed fleece and 220–420 GSM rib knit; the final target is selected for the product and confirmed by sample.

Buyer definition: An apparel material specification is a traceable record that links fabric and trim identity to the finished garment, approval sample, test requirements and bulk lot.

Specification-led workflow

Five material decisions before sample approval.

Each step creates an approval record that can be connected to the quotation, sample and bulk purchase documents.

  1. 01

    Start with the garment

    Define product type, fit, climate, intended use, destination and care route.

  2. 02

    Specify fiber and construction

    Record composition, jersey, terry, fleece or rib structure, plus the required finished GSM.

  3. 03

    Set color and finish

    Identify color standard, hand feel, brushing, dyeing, garment wash and decoration compatibility.

  4. 04

    Coordinate trims

    Match rib, labels, tapes, thread and packing components to the approved garment program.

  5. 05

    Approve and trace bulk

    Link the approved swatch or garment sample, test result, dye lot and roll records to production.

Published GSM, MOQ, sample and production timing are planning references for applicable programs. Final requirements and commercial terms are controlled by the quotation, approved sample and purchase documents for the specific project.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked questions.

These answers define the planning scope. Send project-specific information to postmaster@weavnora.com.

Which apparel fabrics and trims are covered by Weavnora?

Published material routes cover cotton jersey, heavyweight jersey, French terry, brushed fleece and rib knit, together with coordinated labels, tapes and other trims used by the approved garment specification.

How should a buyer select fabric GSM?

Select finished GSM together with garment type, composition, construction, drape, opacity, climate, wash and decoration. A GSM number alone does not define fabric performance or suitability.

What is the MOQ for a fabric or trim program?

Material minimums depend on construction, color, finish, mill allocation and whether the material is linked to a finished-garment order. The published 1,000-piece MOQ is a reference for applicable finished styles, not a universal raw-fabric MOQ.

Do the seven-day sample and 30-day bulk targets apply to every material?

No. They are planning references for applicable garment programs after required details and approvals. Custom knitting, dyeing, finishing, testing or trim development may require a different confirmed schedule.
