The best fabrics for sportwear apparel sourcing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spandex<\/strong>\u2014also known by the brand name Lycra\u2014puts the stretch in workout wear. The synthetic fabric can expand to nearly 600 percent of its size, offers an unrestricted range of motion, and then snaps back in place. Spandex is also breathable, wicks moisture, and dries quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Polyester<\/strong>– Polyester is one of the most functional\nfabrics with the added advantage of being able to mimic the feel of natural\nfibers such as cotton, linen or silk. Polyester can provide warmth in cold\nclimates and and breathability while still being a very lightweight textile. It\nis therefore popular for use in outerwear products such as running jackets and\nrain protection for mountaineering and hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mesh<\/strong> \u2013 Mesh and mini mesh fabrics can be used as very\neffective elements of high-performance sportswear by providing breathable\nventilation panels in areas such as under the arms to keep the wearer cool and\ndry. Highly versatile, this can be used on its own such as for basketball\njerseys or alongside sweat wicking polyester fabrics for running and cycling\nwear, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nylon<\/strong> – Nylon offers a comfortable fit with plenty of\nstretch and therefore moves with the body. It is especially popular as a fabric\nfor producing running wear due to its breathable and sweat wicking properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shinta Indah Jaya is a trusted fabric supplier to numerous\nmultinational sportswear brands offering a range of fabric types and custom\nfinishes to create distinctive sportswear apparel collections that meet the\ndemands of athleisurewear, all round sportswear and specialised sports apparel.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact us<\/a> to find out more about our range of custom finishes<\/a> as well as fabrics<\/a> and how we can create tailored solutions to suit your sportswear fabric sourcing needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The demand for sportswear worldwide has been steadily growing and the market is forecast to increase by $50 billion USD between 2018-2023, accelerating at a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6137,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6133"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6133"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6133\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6134,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6133\/revisions\/6134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shinta.co.id\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
