Product Title

100% Polyester Brushed Plain Cloth Quick Dry 140GSM For Sportswear

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 140GSM brushed plain cloth is made from 100% polyester and engineered for sportswear that demands softness, rapid moisture evaporation, and lightweight comfort. The plain weave structure provides a clean, stable base, while the single‑side brushing process raises fine fibers to create a gentle, micro‑fleece surface that feels warm against the skin without adding bulk. At 140 grams per square meter, the fabric is truly lightweight – a full‑size training top or base layer weighs only about 100‑120 grams. The quick‑dry property is inherent to the polyester fibers: sweat or moisture evaporates in approximately 18 minutes at room temperature, keeping athletes dry during intense workouts or sudden rain. The brushed finish also enhances breathability and wicking by increasing the fabric’s capillary surface area. For sportswear applications such as base layers, lightweight training shirts, running tops, and jacket linings, this brushed plain cloth delivers the perfect balance of soft hand, fast drying, and easy care.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Sportswear Applications

Why this brushed plain cloth is the ideal choice for quick‑dry sportswear:

• Brushed surface for soft, warm feel – The micro‑fleece texture is gentle against the skin, eliminating the scratchiness of standard polyester. Perfect for base layers and garments worn directly on skin.

• Quick drying – 18 minutes from soaked – Sweat evaporates rapidly, keeping athletes comfortable during high‑intensity intervals and between training sessions.

• 140GSM lightweight – Reduces fatigue and allows full range of motion. Ideal for summer sportswear, travel apparel, and layered outfits.

• Breathable (180‑220 CFM) – Air flows through the plain weave, preventing heat buildup while maintaining the soft brushed interior.

• Moisture wicking and non‑absorbent – Polyester holds almost no water. Sweat is pulled away from the body and spreads across the fabric surface for rapid evaporation.

• Durable and easy care – Resists shrinking, wrinkling, and pilling (Grade 3.5‑4). Machine wash cold, line dry – no ironing needed.

• Versatile for many sportswear items – Use as base layers, lightweight training shirts, running tops, jacket linings, and even casual tees.

Primary sportswear applications for 140GSM brushed plain cloth:

• Base layers for running, cycling, and hiking

• Lightweight training shirts and practice tops

• Running singlets and race vests (liner or outer)

• Jacket and windbreaker linings (adds warmth without bulk)

• Sportswear undershirts (moisture wicking)

• Travel sportswear (quick dry, wrinkle‑resistant)

• Yoga and pilates tops (soft against skin)

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: What is the difference between brushed plain cloth and regular plain polyester?
Regular plain polyester has a smooth, unbrushed surface that can feel slightly stiff and less comfortable against the skin. Brushed plain cloth undergoes a mechanical brushing process that raises short fibers on one side, creating a soft, micro‑fleece texture similar to lightweight flannel. This brushed surface improves warmth, wicking, and next‑to‑skin comfort while retaining the durability and quick‑dry properties of polyester.

Q2: Is 140GSM thick enough for standalone sportswear like training tops?
Yes, for warm‑weather or indoor training. 140GSM is lightweight – similar to a premium summer base layer. It provides moderate opacity (dark colors are fully opaque; light colors may be semi‑sheer). For cooler conditions or full opacity in light colors, we recommend using a liner or choosing a heavier weight (170‑200GSM). For hot weather or layering, 140GSM is ideal.

Q3: Does the brushed finish affect breathability?
No. The brushing increases surface area for moisture contact but does not close the fabric’s pores. Air permeability remains high at 180‑220 CFM. In fact, the brushed surface can enhance wicking by pulling moisture away from the skin more effectively.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this brushed plain cloth?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 140GSM brushed plain cloth. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The quick‑dry performance (18 minutes), breathability (180‑220 CFM), tear strength (>18N), and pilling resistance (Grade 3.5‑4) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The brushed hand feel and colorfastness are identical. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for this fabric?
For stock colors, the lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom Pantone colors, please add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. We can expedite for urgent orders (minimum 1000 meters) – please inquire.

Q6: How do I care for garments made from this brushed plain cloth?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry – the fabric dries very quickly. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the brushed fibers and reduce breathability and wicking. Avoid high‑heat ironing directly on the brushed side. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its softness and quick‑dry performance for over 50 washes.
