Product Title

One Side Brushed One Side Plain Stretch Knit 280GSM For Sportswear

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 280GSM stretch knit features a dual‑surface design: one side is softly brushed for gentle warmth and next‑to‑skin comfort, while the other side remains smooth and clean for a professional outer finish. Engineered for sportswear that needs warmth without bulk, the brushed interior traps body heat during cool‑weather training, while the plain exterior resists snagging and presents a uniform appearance. The 7% spandex content provides comfortable 2‑way to 4‑way stretch (approx. 60‑80% elongation) with good recovery, allowing jackets, hoodies, and training pants to move with the athlete and return to shape. At 280 grams per square meter, the fabric is heavy‑weight – ideal for team warm‑up jackets, sideline outerwear, and performance hoodies that require durability, wind resistance, and warmth. The 93% polyester base ensures rapid drying (moisture evaporates in about 32 minutes), colorfastness, and easy care. For reversible outerwear, lined hoodies, and cold‑weather training gear, this one‑side brushed, one‑side plain stretch knit delivers the perfect balance of warmth, stretch, and versatility.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Sportswear Applications

Why this one‑side brushed, one‑side plain stretch knit is ideal for sportswear:

• Dual‑surface design – Brushed side against skin provides soft warmth; plain side outward offers a clean, professional look. No need for separate lining.

• 280GSM heavy weight – Provides excellent wind resistance and insulation for cool‑weather training (5°C to 15°C / 41‑59°F).

• Good stretch and recovery – 7% spandex allows the fabric to move with the body and return to shape. No sagging elbows or knees.

• Durable and tear resistant – Tear strength >60N ensures jackets and pants withstand frequent use, bag packing, and sideline friction.

• Breathable yet wind‑resistant – Air permeability 40‑70 CFM blocks light winds while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

• Quick drying – Moisture evaporates in about 30 minutes. Garments dry between training sessions.

• Easy care – Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.

Primary sportswear applications for 280GSM brushed/plain stretch knit:

• Team warm‑up jackets and full‑zip hoodies

• Coaches’ sideline jackets and track tops

• Performance hoodies and quarter‑zip pullovers

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: How does the brushed side differ from the plain side?
The brushed side has been mechanically raised to create a soft, micro‑fleece surface that traps air for warmth and feels gentle against the skin. The plain side is smooth, non‑textured, and more abrasion‑resistant, making it ideal for the outer face of garments. You can use either side outward depending on your design needs.

Q2: Is 280GSM warm enough for winter outdoor training?
280GSM provides medium warmth – comfortable for temperatures from 5°C to 15°C (41‑59°F) as an outer layer. For below‑freezing conditions, layer over a thermal base layer or choose a 350+ GSM fleece. For indoor warm‑ups or cool spring/fall days, 280GSM is ideal.

Q3: Does the brushed side shed fibers after washing?
Minimal. The brushing is mechanically stabilized during finishing. Independent testing shows negligible shedding after 10 washes. To reduce initial lint, pre‑wash before garment assembly. After the first wash, shedding stops.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this brushed/plain stretch knit?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 280GSM fabric. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>60N), stretch (>60%), air permeability (40‑70 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The brushed surface, plain side finish, 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 garments made from this 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 flatten the brushed surface and reduce breathability. Iron on low (synthetic setting) with a pressing cloth if needed – avoid ironing directly on the brushed side. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its dual‑surface properties for over 50 washes.

Q7: Can I get custom colors for my team or brand?
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.
