Brushed Knit Fabric: Compare the Raised Face

Identify the treated side

For a brushed stretch fabric, label the face before cutting the development sample. A neckline, cuff or turned edge may expose a different side from the main body. Assemble the intended finish and record the appearance at those points. This keeps a surface decision connected to the construction that the sewing team is following.

Keep three finishes distinct

Article 5512 is a brushed polyester spandex fabric specified with single-face brushing, a 95/5 blend and 165 cm width. Article 6615 is an 80/20 nylon-spandex reference with back brushing at 170 cm. Article 6622 is a separate 71/29 nylon-spandex option described with double-sided sanding at 165 cm.

Choose the comparison for the garment

For a winter base layer or fitted seasonal set, review the intended inner face together with its seams. A smooth reference can make the surface difference easier to discuss: article 5508 provides a smooth polyester-spandex double-face option. Keep the sample construction the same when the surface treatment is the feature being compared.

State the finish with the material request

Include the article number or desired finish, garment type, face orientation and cutting requirement in the inquiry. Add the color direction, estimated fabric quantity and any agreed measurements. If your reference has more than one raised face, say so explicitly; the number and placement of treated faces should remain part of the specification.
