272T Semi-Dull Nylon Twill Fabric – CC-2294

272T Semi-Dull Nylon Twill Fabric – CC-2294

Semi-dull nylon twill fabric CC-2294 uses two quiet design elements to create a distinctive surface: a diagonal weave and controlled lustre. The twill line becomes visible at close range, while the semi-dull yarn prevents the fabric from looking excessively glossy under direct light.

Made from 100% nylon, CC-2294 combines 70D × 180D yarns with a 118 GSM finished weight. This gives it more body than lightweight plain-weave shells and makes it suitable for jackets, uniform outerwear and selected structured garment panels. A W/R finish provides resistance to light surface moisture.

Twill Texture Without Excessive Shine

The diagonal structure brings depth to solid colours without relying on printing or obvious mechanical texture. It can help pockets, collars and panel seams appear more defined, especially in clean utility or fashion-outerwear designs.

For sourcing teams searching for 118 GSM semi-dull nylon twill fabric for jackets, CC-2294 offers a more composed visual character than bright nylon taffeta. Dark shades may emphasize the twill line, while lighter shades can present a softer and more refined effect.

The material should be reviewed at full width because panel direction may affect how light reflects across the finished garment.

A Substantial Lightweight Nylon Option

The 70D × 180D specification creates an asymmetric construction with a more noticeable weft contribution. At 118 GSM, the fabric has enough substance for garments that need shape without moving into heavyweight workwear.

This 272T water-repellent nylon twill for uniform outerwear may be considered for:

• Fashion jackets
• Uniform and service jackets
• Utility-inspired outerwear
• Lightweight commuting coats
• Travel jackets
• Selected casual trousers
• Bags and accessory panels

Suitability for trousers, bags or high-friction areas depends on the required abrasion, tear and seam-strength standards.

Cutting Direction and Garment Appearance

Twill fabrics have a visible directional line. Garment panels cut in different orientations may reflect light differently or make the diagonal pattern appear inconsistent.

Before bulk cutting, the production team should confirm the fabric face, twill direction and marker layout. Prototype garments should also be checked for seam puckering, pressing marks and shade appearance between adjoining panels.

Water Repellency for Daily Use

The W/R treatment helps light droplets remain on the surface rather than soaking in immediately. It supports use in brief drizzle or everyday splashes but does not create a waterproof barrier.

Coating or lamination is required when a project needs a confirmed waterproof rating. Any performance statement should be based on the agreed test method and approved production sample.

Before ordering semi-dull nylon twill fabric, buyers should confirm usable width, finished weight, colour, twill direction, hand feel, dimensional stability and W/R durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does semi-dull mean?
Semi-dull describes a controlled, lower-lustre appearance compared with bright nylon. Final sheen should be approved in the selected colour.

Can CC-2294 be used for lightweight trousers?
It may be evaluated for selected casual or uniform trousers, subject to abrasion, seam and garment-fit testing.

Is the fabric waterproof?
No. The W/R finish resists light surface moisture but does not provide a confirmed waterproof rating.
