Fabrics by Weight (GSM)
GSM (grams per square meter) is the primary specification for sportswear fabric — it determines thickness, warmth, drape, and end-use application. Our range spans ultra-lightweight 60 GSM base layers through extreme 400+ GSM frontier-weight insulation, covering every weight class in the sportswear manufacturing spectrum. Each GSM weight page includes detailed technical data, comparison charts, suitable applications, printing compatibility, and honest pros/cons analysis.
Fabrics by Knit Construction
The knit structure fundamentally defines a fabric's stretch, recovery, surface texture, and garment behavior. Single jersey produces smooth, flat surfaces ideal for sublimation. Interlock offers double-faced stability with minimal curling. French terry provides interior loop texture for moisture management and warmth. Each construction type serves distinct manufacturing requirements — from high-speed sublimation lines to structured garment-dyed pieces. Understanding knit construction is essential for matching fabric to production method and end-use performance.
Fabrics by Material Composition
Material composition dictates a fabric's hand feel, moisture behavior, print compatibility, care requirements, and cost structure. Polyester dominates sportswear manufacturing due to its sublimation readiness, durability, and cost efficiency. Cotton provides natural softness preferred for lifestyle and casual lines. Blends combine the best properties of multiple fibers — cotton-polyester blends balance comfort with performance, while spandex-containing fabrics deliver the stretch essential for compression, leggings, and fitted athletic wear. Each material page covers fiber properties, blend ratios, care specifications, and optimal end-uses.
Performance & Functional Fabrics
Performance fabrics are engineered with specific functional properties beyond basic coverage — moisture management, thermal regulation, antimicrobial protection, UV shielding, and weather resistance. These fabrics incorporate advanced fiber treatments, membrane laminations, and specialized knit structures to meet the demands of competitive sport, outdoor recreation, and industrial workwear. Each performance category addresses a distinct environmental challenge, and many of our fabrics combine multiple performance properties in a single construction (e.g., moisture-wicking + UV protection + anti-bacterial in one polyester-spandex jersey).
Fabrics by Sport & Garment Type
Different sports impose radically different demands on fabric — a soccer jersey needs lightweight sublimation-ready polyester with mesh ventilation panels, while a rugby jersey requires heavy interlock that can withstand grabbing and tackling. Boxing shorts need loose-fit breathable fabric with deep side slits, while cycling kits demand tight-fit compression fabric with aerodynamic smoothness. These sport-specific pages distill our full catalog into curated recommendations for each sport, covering the ideal GSM range, material composition, knit construction, printing method, and performance features for that particular application. They eliminate guesswork for brands sourcing fabric for a specific sport.
Fleece, Mesh & Insulation Fabrics
Fleece fabrics are the backbone of cold-weather sportswear manufacturing — they provide insulation through trapped air pockets within the brushed pile structure, offering warmth-to-weight ratios that far exceed woven fabrics of equivalent GSM. Our fleece range covers micro-fleece (lightweight layering) through polar fleece (standard cold-weather insulation) to 380 GSM frontier-weight bonded fleece (technical expedition outerwear). We also manufacture mesh fabrics for ventilation panel integration — the strategic combination of fleece body panels with mesh underarm and back panels is the standard construction for premium winter sportswear. Every fleece weight from 200–400+ GSM has its own dedicated page with thermal performance data, bonding compatibility, and printing limitations.
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Fabrics
Sustainable fabric sourcing has shifted from a market differentiator to a baseline requirement for brands targeting European, North American, and APAC retail channels. Our sustainable fabric range addresses the three pillars of textile sustainability: recycled input materials (post-consumer PET bottles diverted from landfill), certified organic agriculture (GOTS-certified organic cotton eliminating synthetic pesticides), and natural fiber alternatives (bamboo viscose, hemp) that require less water and chemical processing than conventional cotton. All sustainable fabrics in our range maintain the same performance standards, print compatibility, and quality control rigor as our conventional lines — sustainability does not mean compromise at Dhalay International. Certifications available include GOTS, GRS (Global Recycled Standard), and OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
