228T Nylon Taslan Fabric for Outdoor Jackets – CC-1918

228T Nylon Taslan Fabric for Outdoor Jackets – CC-1918

228T nylon Taslan fabric CC-1918 is made for jacket programs that need a more fabric-like character than a smooth, glossy nylon shell. Its textured Taslan appearance gives casual outdoor garments a grounded look, while the 102 GSM weight provides enough presence for everyday outerwear.

The fabric is woven from 100% nylon using a 70D × 160D yarn specification. Its plain construction creates a versatile surface for solid colours, utility details and uniform-inspired designs. A water-repellent treatment supports use in changing daily conditions.

A More Natural-Looking Nylon Surface

Taslan fabrics are often selected when designers want the practical character of nylon without an overly slick visual effect. CC-1918 has enough texture to bring depth to simple jacket panels while remaining clean enough for commercial outdoor and uniform collections.

For buyers looking for 102 GSM 228T nylon Taslan fabric for outdoor jackets, the material can occupy the space between very light packable shells and heavier coated outerwear.

It may be considered for:

• Casual outdoor jackets
• Lightweight utility jackets
• Uniform shells
• Sportswear and warm-up jackets
• Travel outerwear
• Lightweight trousers or shorts
• Hoods and reinforced garment panels

Final suitability depends on garment design and the required strength, air permeability and weather protection.

Balanced 70D × 160D Construction

The different yarn sizes give CC-1918 more body than a symmetrical fine-denier shell. At 102 GSM, it can support collars, patch pockets and adjustable hems without creating the bulk associated with heavy Oxford cloth.

As a 70D × 160D water-repellent nylon fabric for windbreakers, it provides a practical platform for brands that want moderate structure with a less reflective surface.

The 228T designation identifies the fabric category but should not be used as a substitute for measurable performance data. Tear strength, abrasion resistance, seam slippage and air permeability should be confirmed according to the intended garment.

Designed for Real Garment Development

A Taslan surface may behave differently during sewing and pressing than a smooth filament fabric. Buyers should examine seam appearance, puckering and pocket construction on a prototype garment.

Colour can also influence the surface character. Earth tones and darker shades often reinforce an outdoor or utility direction, while brighter colours can move the fabric toward sportswear and team apparel.

Water-Repellent Everyday Protection

The W/R finish helps brief rain and splashes remain on the surface instead of being absorbed immediately. It does not make CC-1918 completely waterproof.

If the garment requires a measurable hydrostatic-pressure rating, coating or lamination must be developed separately. Buyers should provide their required test method and wash durability before production.

Before approving 228T nylon Taslan fabric, we recommend confirming colour, hand feel, weight tolerance, usable width, tear strength, seam behaviour and W/R performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Taslan differ from smooth nylon fabric?
Taslan is generally selected for a more textured and fabric-like surface, while conventional filament nylon often appears smoother and shinier.

Can CC-1918 be used for outdoor trousers?
It may be evaluated for lightweight trousers and shorts. Abrasion, tear and seam-strength requirements should be confirmed for the intended use.

Does W/R mean waterproof?
No. W/R provides resistance to light surface moisture. Waterproof applications require additional development and testing.
