Product Description

2x2 rib knit construction gives this 96% polyester, 4% spandex fabric its distinct perpendicular ribs and crosswise stretch, making it a staple for garment factories and apparel brands building neckbands, cuffs and hems. The reversible double-faced surface holds its shape through repeated wear, so it recovers cleanly at high-stress trim points.

MH sources this rib knit for bulk apparel programs and can develop it to order across material blends and rib structures. Buyers can request alternate compositions or a different rib gauge to match their garment specification, with color matched to a supplied reference.

The standard build is 96% polyester with 4% spandex in a 150D/144F FDY plus 70D spandex yarn, finished at 280gsm and 155cm width. It ships on 25kg rolls, with color developed to order rather than held as fixed stock.

Product Features

• Reversible double-faced rib — identical ribs on both faces let cutters lay panels either way without tracking a right side, cutting waste on trim runs.

• 2x2 rib structure — the wider rib repeat gives firmer recovery than a 1x1 gauge, holding cuffs and necklines snug over the garment's life.

• Crosswise stretch — the 4% spandex content lets bands pull over hands and heads and spring back, reducing gaping at openings.

• 280gsm mid weight — enough body to finish edges cleanly while staying supple for whole-garment pieces like camisoles and cardigans.

• 155cm usable width — a practical panel width for efficient marker nesting across shirt and knitwear cutting.

Applications

• Shirt trims — Used by garment factories for t-shirt neckbands, hems and cuffs that need firm recovery.

• Knitwear — Popular with apparel brands for turtlenecks, sweaters and cardigans worked in a single fabric.

• Casual apparel — Sourced by manufacturers for camisoles, women's casual suits and home wear.

• Innerwear — Common among underwear producers needing soft, stretchy rib bodies and edgings.

• Polo and casual tops — A regular pick for makers finishing collars and plackets with matching rib.

Customization Service

• Material blend — developed in alternate compositions such as TC, TR or CVC alongside the standard polyester spandex.

• Rib structure — offered in 1x1, 2x2 or jacquard rib to suit different stretch and garment needs.

• Weight and width — adjustable gsm and width where a program's cutting plan calls for it.
