185GSM Polyester Spandex Black Yarn Horizontal Stripe Two Tone
This 185GSM polyester spandex fabric features a bold black‑yarn horizontal stripe that creates a permanent two‑tone contrast, engineered for sportswear that needs visual impact, four‑way stretch, and a soft, comfortable hand. The horizontal stripes are formed using black yarns contrasted against a lighter base color (e.g., white, grey, or navy), producing a clean, crisp double‑color effect that is knitted in – not printed – so the pattern will never crack, peel, or fade. The 7.9% spandex content delivers true 4‑way stretch (over 150% elongation) with good recovery (>86%), allowing the fabric to move freely during yoga, dance, or gym workouts while maintaining its shape. At 185 grams per square meter, the fabric is lightweight enough for breathable activewear yet fully opaque for squat‑proof confidence. The polyester base provides rapid moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 24 minutes), colorfastness, and easy care. For high‑waist leggings, sports bras, dance bodysuits, and striped athletic tops, this two‑tone horizontal stripe fabric offers a unique, stylish alternative to solid or vertical‑stripe designs.

Soft hand and comfortable – The polyester/spandex blend feels smooth against the skin, with no scratchiness.
Horizontal stripe design creates visual length – Flattering for leggings and tops, adds a sporty, dynamic look.
Easy care – Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.
Primary sportswear applications for 185GSM two‑tone horizontal stripe fabric:

Q1: Is the black yarn horizontal stripe printed or knitted?
The stripe is created by using black polyester yarns during the knitting process. It is not printed, so the pattern is permanent. It will never crack, peel, or fade, and the contrast remains sharp wash after wash.
Q2: Is 185GSM thick enough to avoid see‑through?
Yes, for dark base colors (black, navy, charcoal) the fabric is fully opaque and squat‑proof. For lighter base colors (white, pink), there may be slight sheerness – we recommend using a liner or choosing a darker base for standalone leggings. The stripe itself does not affect opacity.
Q3: How does the horizontal stripe look on the body?
Horizontal stripes on side panels or across the hips can create a lengthening visual effect when placed strategically. Many brands use horizontal stripes on leg side panels for a slimming, dynamic look. The contrast black yarn adds a clean, sporty edge.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this two‑tone stripe fabric?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 185GSM horizontal stripe fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The black yarn contrast, mechanical properties – tear strength (>24N), stretch (>150%), air permeability (130‑170 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The two‑tone effect, soft 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 two‑tone combinations (black/white, black/grey, black/navy, black/pink), lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom stripe colors (e.g., navy/gold, burgundy/white), 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 garments made from this two‑tone stripe fabric?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the spandex fibers and reduce stretch recovery. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed. The black yarn stripe will remain sharp for over 50 washes.
Q7: Can I customize the stripe width or the base color?
Yes. Standard stripe width is approximately 1.0‑1.5 cm. We can produce custom stripe widths (0.5‑3.0 cm) and custom two‑color combinations (e.g., black/teal, white/navy). Minimum order for custom designs is 500 meters. Lab dip lead time is 12‑15 days. Stock options include black/white, black/grey, black/navy, and black/pink.
