Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about custom fabric sourcing, GSM specs, lab dips, and bulk textile manufacturing at Fandar Clothing.
What custom fabric options can Fandar Clothing source or manufacture?
We source and mill a full spectrum of knitted and woven textiles tailored for activewear, streetwear, workwear, and casual fashion lines. Key options include 100% combed cotton, polyester-spandex, French terry, heavy fleece, nylon ripstop, hosiery stretch fabrics, and cotton twill. Custom blended ratios are also available based on your target specifications.
Can I customize the GSM (fabric weight) and Pantone color of the fabric?
Yes. We offer complete custom milling for specific fabric weights ranging from lightweight 140 GSM jerseys to heavy 450+ GSM thermal fleece. For coloring, we provide exact Pantone color matching (TPX/TCX) through lab-dip sampling before approving bulk dyeing runs.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom fabric development?
For standard, in-stock fabric colors and GSM weights, our garment MOQs start low to accommodate growing brands. For completely custom-milled textiles, custom knit patterns, or custom-dyed Pantone colors, fabric MOQs typically start at 100 kg to 300 kg depending on the yarn type and material composition.
How do you guarantee fabric quality, colorfastness, and shrinkage control?
All fabrics undergo strict quality control protocols prior to cutting. We run pre-shrinkage wash cycles, anti-pilling finishing, and colorfastness testing against washing and perspiration to ensure your final bulk garments meet strict international retail standards.
Can I request physical fabric swatches or pre-production samples?
Absolutely. Before committing to bulk garment production, we send physical fabric swatches and GSM sample cards via international courier. This allows you to evaluate the hand-feel, stretch recovery, and texture firsthand.
