Other Custom Knit Garments
Ruibang Apparel also handles other knit garment categories according to design requirements, material availability and production arrangements. Each product receives an individual feasibility review rather than following a single specification for every style.
Fabric Choices and Weight Specifications
The right fabric depends on the intended garment, target hand feel and design requirements. GSM measures fabric weight per square meter, but it does not independently determine fabric quality, thickness or finished appearance. Knit construction, fiber composition and finishing also influence the result.
Current Fabric Weight Options
| Garment Type | Available GSM Range |
|---|---|
| T-Shirts | 180–320 GSM |
| Sweatshirts | 280–420 GSM |
| Hoodies | 280–420 GSM |
These ranges reflect Ruibang Apparel’s current fabric specifications. The final selection depends on fabric availability and individual project requirements.
Fabric Types
Cotton Jersey
Cotton jersey offers different weight and surface options for everyday and heavyweight T-shirts. Brands can select suitable specifications according to their preferred garment structure and hand feel.
French Terry
French terry features a looped inner surface and works well for sweatshirts and casual knit garments. Its construction and weight influence the finished garment’s texture and drape.
Brushed Fleece
Brushed fleece has a soft inner surface and suits hoodies and sweatshirts that require a softer interior feel. Material composition and fabric weight help determine the final product characteristics.
Cotton Blended Knit Fabrics
Cotton blends offer additional material options when a project requires particular combinations of softness, stretch, durability or fabric stability.
Selecting Fabric for Each Product
| Product | Main Material Considerations |
|---|---|
| Heavyweight T-Shirts | Jersey structure, GSM and surface texture |
| Heavyweight Hoodies | Fleece or suitable knit construction, fabric weight and hood structure |
| Crewneck Sweatshirts | French terry or fleece, inner surface and rib compatibility |
| Sweatpants | Fabric consistency, flexibility and garment structure |
The product brief should identify material composition, GSM, color and preferred fabric characteristics before sample development begins.
