Imitation Memory Jacket Fabric with Cotton Touch – CC-0016

Imitation Memory Jacket Fabric with Cotton Touch

Imitation memory jacket fabric CC-0016 is intended for designers who want a lightweight shell to hold a clean garment shape without becoming stiff or overtly technical. Its 100 GSM weight gives the material noticeable body, while the cotton-like touch softens the character normally associated with polyester filament fabrics.

CC-0016 is made from 100% polyester using a 75D × 75D plain-weave construction. The finished width is 148 cm, and a water-repellent treatment provides practical surface protection for everyday outerwear.

How Imitation Memory Jacket Fabric Builds Shape

The combination of 75D yarn and a 100 GSM finished weight gives CC-0016 a more grounded appearance than very fine packable shell fabrics. It can form defined collars, pockets, plackets and panel seams without requiring the heavy structure of traditional workwear cloth.

Its plain weave creates a calm, even surface that can work across minimalist jackets, utility-inspired garments and casual uniform collections. There is no pronounced twill line or ripstop grid, so the visual focus remains on colour, cutting and garment details.

For buyers sourcing a 100 GSM imitation memory jacket fabric with cotton touch, physical sampling is particularly important. “Cotton touch” describes the intended hand-feel direction; it does not mean the fabric contains cotton. CC-0016 remains a 100% polyester construction.

A Different Expression of Polyester

Polyester outerwear fabrics are often selected for their practical construction, but not every collection wants a glossy or slippery surface. CC-0016 offers a softer visual and tactile direction for brands developing urban, travel and lifestyle outerwear.

As a medium weight cotton-like fabric for windbreakers, it can give a jacket more presence than ultra-light pongee while remaining suitable for transitional-season designs. Its garment character can range from softly structured to slightly crisp depending on colour, finishing and the customer’s approved hand-feel reference.

The term “imitation memory” describes the fabric category and handling style. It should not be interpreted as guaranteed permanent shape-memory performance. Crease formation and recovery should be checked on the finished fabric and prototype garment.

Water Repellency for Everyday Outerwear

The W/R finish helps light moisture form droplets on the surface rather than being absorbed immediately. This makes CC-0016 suitable as a 75D water-repellent polyester fabric for casual outerwear, travel jackets and selected uniform shells.

The treatment is intended for brief exposure to light rain or surface splashes. It does not create a waterproof barrier and does not guarantee a specific hydrostatic-pressure result. Waterproof projects require an appropriate coating or lamination, together with testing of the finished material.

If wash durability is important, the required water-repellency grade and laundering method should be confirmed before sampling.

Recommended Applications

CC-0016 can be considered for:

• Casual windbreakers
• Urban travel jackets
• Lightweight utility jackets
• Fashion overshirts
• Transitional-season outerwear
• Corporate and service uniform shells
• Selected bags and accessory panels

It is particularly useful when an 82 GSM or lighter fabric feels too soft for the intended silhouette, but a heavy jacket fabric would create unnecessary bulk.

The 148 cm finished width provides a practical basis for regular garment cutting. Usable width and edge condition should be checked before marker approval.

What Should Be Checked During Sampling?

When evaluating imitation memory jacket fabric, the sample should be handled, folded and sewn—not only viewed on a hanger. This reveals whether its body, sound and crease behaviour match the intended garment.

Recommended approval points include:

• Cotton-like hand feel
• Surface sheen under different lighting
• Shape after folding or compression
• Fabric noise during movement
• Seam appearance and possible puckering
• Water-repellent performance
• Colour fastness and dimensional stability
• Finished weight and usable width

Custom colours and hand-feel adjustments can be developed from a Pantone reference, fabric swatch or finished garment. Learn more about our textile background through About CC Textile, and follow CC Textile on Facebook for new material and sampling updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of jacket is best suited to this 100 GSM fabric?
CC-0016 is suitable for casual windbreakers, travel jackets, fashion overshirts and lightweight uniform shells that require moderate body without heavy weight.

Is the cotton touch created by cotton fibres?
No. The fabric is 100% polyester. Cotton touch refers to the surface feel and visual character created through the construction and finishing process.

Can the hand feel and water repellency be adjusted?
Yes. The tactile direction and W/R target can be discussed during development. Final requirements should be approved against a physical sample before production.
