100% Polyester Imitation Cashmere Heavy Weight 350GSM For Jacket
This 350GSM imitation cashmere fabric is made from 100% polyester and engineered for jackets that demand the luxurious softness of cashmere without the high cost or delicate care requirements. The heavy weight – 350 grams per square meter – provides exceptional warmth, structure, and draping behavior, making it ideal for winter jackets, car coats, and heavy outerwear. The fabric’s surface is brushed to mimic the plush, velvety hand of real cashmere, yet it is more durable, easier to clean, and resistant to shrinking and pilling. Unlike natural cashmere, this polyester version retains its shape, dries quickly, and maintains colorfastness after repeated wear. For men’s and women’s jackets, blazers, and casual coats, this heavy‑weight imitation cashmere delivers the premium feel and thermal performance that cold‑weather apparel requires.

Q1: How does imitation cashmere compare to real cashmere in warmth?
350GSM polyester imitation cashmere provides comparable warmth to medium‑weight real cashmere (typically 300‑350GSM). However, polyester is more wind‑resistant and retains heat even when damp, while real cashmere can lose insulation when wet. For most winter jacket applications, this imitation performs equally well at a fraction of the cost.
Q2: Does this fabric pill like some polyester fleece?
No. The fabric has been engineered with anti‑pilling technology (Grade 4 rating). Under normal wear – rubbing against seat belts, bag straps, or office chairs – surface pills do not form. Some light fuzzing may appear after heavy abrasion, but it will not turn into visible pills.
Q3: Is this fabric suitable for people with wool or cashmere allergies?
Yes. Because it is 100% polyester, it contains no animal fibers. It is hypoallergenic and safe for individuals sensitive to lanolin or natural animal hair.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this imitation cashmere?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 350GSM imitation cashmere. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>95N), pilling resistance (Grade 4), and warmth/weight ratio – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The brushed cashmere‑like hand 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, lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom Pantone colors, add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service may be available for orders ≥2000 meters – please inquire.
Q6: How do I care for jackets made from this imitation cashmere?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or line dry – do not use high heat. Do not use fabric softener; it can flatten the brushed surface. Iron on low (synthetic setting) with a pressing cloth to protect the pile. Dry cleaning is also safe.
Q7: Can I get custom colors for my jacket line?
Yes. For exact Pantone matching, the minimum order is 500 meters. Lab dip lead time is 10‑12 days. Pre‑production samples are available for approval.
