Frequently Asked Questions

For our standard running catalog collections (such as Oxford Weave, Twill, and Poplin), our standard MOQ is typically 500 to 1,000 metres per colourway. For bespoke custom weaves, yarn-dyed checks, and custom GSM blends, minimum production runs typically start from 2,000 to 3,000 metres to optimize loom creeling and setup.

In-stock sample swatches and yardage are dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. For running production batches, bulk production generally takes 15 to 20 working days. Bespoke weaves requiring custom yarn dyeing or lab-dip approval cycles typically require 25 to 35 working days.

We provide fabric swatch sets, feeler cuttings, and sample lengths to verified garment manufacturers, apparel brands, and buying agencies. You can submit sample requests through our Contact Page or via WhatsApp (+91 98234 44744) with your required weave and target GSM.

For domestic orders across India, standard payment terms include advance bank transfer (RTGS / NEFT) or credit terms for established contract accounts. For global export shipments, we accept Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C at sight) or structured advance Telegraphic Transfer (T/T).

Yes. Equipped with 42+ Toyota JAT810 air-jet looms running at up to 1,100 RPM, we engineer custom fabrics tailored to exact brand specifications. We accommodate yarn counts from 30s to 80s (single or 2-ply), specialized blends (cotton-linen, poly-cotton, modal blends), and exact GSM calibrations between 80 GSM and 260 GSM.

Operating from Mumbai with direct connectivity to Nhava Sheva (JNPT sea port) and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Air Cargo, FabFashion manages worldwide exports. We provide complete documentation including commercial invoices, packing lists, Certificate of Origin, and seaworthy roll packaging.

GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre and is the global standard metric for fabric weight. 80–115 GSM (Poplin) is ideal for summer and dress shirting; 110–145 GSM (Oxford and Twill) represents the standard weight for formal shirts and corporate uniforms; 140–200+ GSM (Herringbone and Linen blends) delivers richer handfeel for trousers, jackets, and overshirts.

Poplin is a classic plain weave creating a smooth, crisp surface with high thread density. Oxford Weave utilizes a basket-weave construction where multiple warp threads cross over equal weft threads, creating a signature tactile texture and breathable durability. Twill features distinctive diagonal parallel ribs with superior drape, soft handfeel, and higher wrinkle resistance.

Yarn count describes the fineness of the yarn used to weave a fabric — a higher count (such as 60s or 80s) means a finer yarn and typically a smoother, more premium handfeel, while a lower count (such as 20s or 30s) produces a heavier, sturdier cloth. Yarn count, weave structure, and GSM together determine a fabric's drape, durability, and end use, which is why we discuss all three with buyers before recommending a construction for a specific garment.

Yes. As a B2B fabric manufacturer and exporter, we work with garment manufacturers, private label apparel brands, uniform and corporate-wear suppliers, and fashion houses sourcing shirting fabric in bulk. We support both our standing catalog collections and custom-developed fabrics built to a brand's own specification.

Depending on the weave and end use, we offer finishing treatments that improve handfeel, colour fastness, and dimensional stability (shrinkage control) so finished garments perform consistently after washing and wear. Buyers with specific finishing, performance, or compliance requirements are welcome to share their technical data sheet with our team for a construction-matched recommendation.

Yes. Our commercial and sales office is based in Mumbai, and we manufacture at our facility in Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra. From there, we supply and ship fabric to garment manufacturers, fashion brands, and B2B buyers across India, including major sourcing hubs like Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Surat, and Jaipur, as well as to international export clients.

PV, or Polyester Viscose, is a blended fabric combining polyester's durability and crease resistance with viscose's soft drape and breathability. It's commonly used in suiting and structured garments. Our own specialty is cotton and cotton-blend shirting fabrics — buyers looking specifically for PV fabric should confirm current availability with our team via an enquiry.

PC, or Polyester Cotton (also called poly cotton), is a blend that combines cotton's comfort and breathability with polyester's strength and easy-care performance, often used in uniforms and workwear. Our cotton-blend shirting fabrics, such as our Herringbone Cotton/Poly Blend, follow a similar principle — contact us to discuss your specific composition requirement.

Lycra (a branded form of elastane/spandex) is added in small percentages to woven or knit fabric to introduce stretch and recovery, improving comfort and fit. It's more common in trousers and activewear than in classic dress shirting, though some modern formal shirting lines do use a light stretch blend. Let us know your requirement and we'll advise on the best construction for your application.

Yes. Our Twill and Oxford weaves in particular are well suited to corporate uniforms and structured workwear, offering durability and a clean, professional finish through repeated wash cycles. We also develop custom weaves and GSMs for uniform manufacturers with specific durability or compliance requirements.

Polyester is a synthetic fibre valued for durability, wrinkle resistance, and easy-care performance, but it doesn't breathe as well as cotton. Cotton, our core material, offers superior comfort and breathability for next-to-skin wear like formal shirting. Many commercial fabrics blend the two to balance durability with comfort — our Herringbone Cotton/Poly Blend is one example.

Viscose (also known as rayon) is a semi-synthetic fibre made from wood pulp, valued for a soft, silky drape and good breathability, often used in blends to add fluidity to structured weaves. It is a different material from our current cotton and cotton-blend shirting range — buyers with a specific viscose requirement should raise it directly with our team.

Satin is a weave structure (not a fibre) that produces a smooth, glossy surface with a soft drape, achieved by floating yarns over multiple threads before interlacing. Poly satin refers to this weave made with polyester yarn. It's a different construction from the plain, twill, and basket weaves in our current shirting collection — get in touch if you have a specific satin requirement.

Dobby and Jacquard are loom techniques used to weave small geometric or pictorial patterns directly into the fabric structure, rather than printing them on afterward. Dobby handles simpler repeating patterns, while Jacquard looms can produce more intricate designs. Both are available as part of our Custom Weave Fabric Development service for brands wanting a distinctive, textured pattern.
