8x3 Rib Knit Fabric in 95% Polyester Spandex, Double Brushed for Apparel Trim

Product Description

8x3 rib knit fabric pairs a deep double-brushed face and back with a 95% polyester, 5% spandex blend, giving sportswear manufacturers and garment factories a ribbed stretch textile for cuffs, collars, waistbands, and full-panel apparel. The wide rib repeat holds structure while the elastane content keeps the hand flexible.

MH supplies this rib knit to activewear and knitwear brands on a make-to-order basis, coordinating dyed-to-order colors, adjustable weight, and finish options across repeat bulk runs. Our sourcing team aligns each order with your lab dips and construction specs before production starts.

The standard build uses 120D/192F DTY with 20D spandex, finished at roughly 190gsm and 158cm width, with a napped face and back for a soft handle. Rolls ship in 25kg polybagged packing, with color matched to your specification.

Product Features

• 8x3 rib construction — the wide rib repeat gives strong lengthwise recovery, so trims and openings hold shape through wear and washing.
• Double-brushed face and back — both sides are napped for a soft hand, letting the same roll face outward or sit against the skin.
• 4-way stretch — the 5% spandex adds multidirectional give, suiting close-fit panels and elasticated garment openings.
• 190gsm mid-weight body — balanced grammage works as both self-fabric panels and coordinating trim without adding bulk.
• Dyed-to-order color — full shade matching supports coordinated collections and private-label ranges.
