Satin Imitation Memory Fabric with W/R – CC-0017

Satin Imitation Memory Fabric with W/R – CC-0017

Satin imitation memory fabric CC-0017 gives outerwear a more expressive surface without relying on prints or complicated textures. As the fabric moves under natural or indoor light, its smooth face develops a restrained satin-like sheen, bringing depth to otherwise simple jacket silhouettes.

Made from 100% polyester, CC-0017 uses a 75D × 150D plain-weave construction and weighs 175 GSM. The finer warp and heavier weft create a substantial fabric with noticeable body, making it suitable for structured jackets, fashion coats and uniform outer layers. A water-repellent finish adds practical protection for everyday use.

A Satin-Look Surface, Not a Satin Weave

The word “satin” in this product name describes the fabric’s smooth, softly lustrous appearance. Its actual construction is plain weave. This distinction is important for buyers comparing fabrics by technical specification.

Unlike highly glossy satin materials, CC-0017 is intended to create a more controlled reflection. The surface can appear understated in one direction and more luminous when the garment moves or the viewing angle changes. Dark colours may produce a richer, deeper sheen, while pale colours can present a cleaner and softer visual effect.

When evaluating satin imitation memory fabric, buyers should view a full-width cutting under different lighting conditions. A small swatch may not fully reveal how the surface behaves across larger jacket panels.

Structure for Jackets with a Defined Silhouette

At 175 GSM, CC-0017 has considerably more body than lightweight pongee or packable shell fabrics. It can help collars, pocket flaps, sleeves and panel seams maintain a defined appearance without requiring an excessively heavy construction.

For brands sourcing a 175 GSM satin imitation memory fabric for structured jackets, this material may be considered for:

• Fashion jackets and short coats
• Structured windbreakers
• Urban and travel outerwear
• Uniform jackets
• Lightweight trench-inspired garments
• Fashion bags and accessory panels

The imitation-memory character can add a slightly crisp, shape-conscious quality to the finished garment. However, the term does not guarantee permanent shape-memory performance. Crease behaviour, recovery and drape should be reviewed on a prototype garment before bulk approval.

Water-Repellent Protection for Everyday Wear

The W/R finish helps light moisture bead on the surface rather than being absorbed immediately. This makes CC-0017 relevant as a 75D × 150D water-repellent polyester fabric for fashion outerwear, especially for jackets worn during commuting, travel or changing weather.

W/R means water-repellent rather than waterproof. It is intended for light rain and occasional splashes, not prolonged exposure to wet conditions. If a confirmed waterproof rating is required, a suitable coating or lamination must be developed and tested separately.

Buyers should specify the desired water-repellency grade, washing method and durability target before sampling.

What Should Be Approved Before Production?

Before approving satin imitation memory fabric, we recommend evaluating the material as both a flat fabric and a sewn garment. The interaction between sheen, colour and panel direction can significantly affect the final appearance.

Important approval points include:

• Surface lustre under natural and artificial light
• Colour consistency between production lots
• Garment shape and drape
• Crease formation and recovery
• Fabric sound during movement
• Seam appearance and potential puckering
• Water-repellent performance
• Finished weight and usable width

Custom colours, hand-feel adjustments and W/R requirements can be discussed according to the project. Visit our fabric news and development page for material insights, or follow CC Textile on Instagram to view fabric surfaces and sampling updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CC-0017 woven in a satin construction?
Yes, it is woven in a true satin weave construction, which gives it that smooth, subtly lustrous surface.

What garments are most suitable for its 175 GSM weight?
It is particularly suitable for structured fashion jackets, short coats, uniform jackets and outerwear requiring more body than lightweight shell fabric.

Can the surface sheen be adjusted?
The final appearance may be influenced by colour and finishing. Buyers should provide a reference swatch or garment when a specific lustre and hand feel are required.
