Choose for the
finished garment
For chinos, trousers, skirts or lightweight jackets, stretch should be balanced with recovery. Elastane percentage alone does not determine performance; yarn, weave and finishing also matter. Reviewing washed and repeatedly stretched samples helps assess the finished garment.
- Fibre composition, elastane content and weave construction.
- Fabric weight (GSM), usable width and shrinkage after washing.
- Stretch and recovery properties relevant to the garment.
- Colour fastness and agreed finishing requirements.
