Lightweight Polyester Four-Way Stretch Fabric – CC-1866

Lightweight Polyester Four-Way Stretch Fabric – CC-1866

Polyester four-way stretch fabric CC-1866 is a lightweight woven material developed for garments that require freedom of movement without excessive weight. Its 88% polyester and 12% spandex composition provides flexibility in both directions, while the plain weave creates a clean and versatile surface.

At 112 GSM, the fabric is suitable for active, travel and outdoor garments designed for warmer conditions or lightweight layering.

Lightweight Stretch for Active Garments

The combination of low weight and four-way stretch allows the fabric to move more easily around the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.

For buyers sourcing 112 GSM polyester four-way stretch fabric for lightweight activewear, CC-1866 may be evaluated for:

• Lightweight stretch jackets
• Travel and commuting garments
• Summer outdoor trousers
• Activewear and training clothing
• Lightweight uniforms
• Stretch overshirts

For trousers, buyers should confirm opacity, seam strength and abrasion resistance before bulk production.

Stretch and Recovery Testing

The fabric contains 12% spandex, but fibre content alone does not guarantee a specific extension or recovery level. Actual performance depends on the construction, finishing and required test method.

A prototype garment is recommended to evaluate movement, fit retention and seam behaviour. Particular attention should be paid to areas subjected to repeated stretching.

Water-Repellent Finish

The W/R finish helps brief rain and surface splashes bead on the fabric. It does not make the material waterproof.

Before approving polyester four-way stretch, buyers should confirm stretch percentage, recovery, dimensional stability, colour fastness and water-repellent durability.
