This 1×1 Soft Durable 95% Polyester 5% Spandex, 180GSM, 185cm Wide Two-Way Stretch Polyester Rib Knit Fabric is a classic choice in the knitwear category. Composed of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, it features a 1×1 rib knit structure, with a width of 185cm and a fabric weight of 180GSM.
It is woven using a ribbed weave with a distinct longitudinal ridge pattern, providing excellent elasticity—offering 20%-50% two-way stretch and over 90% resilience. This allows for comfortable movement during wear while maintaining excellent shape recovery after deformation, ensuring long-lasting durability and form retention even after repeated use and washing.
For daily care, this fabric offers significant advantages: excellent wrinkle resistance, remaining flat and smooth after washing without requiring ironing, saving time and effort. It also exhibits strong weather resistance, is resistant to acids, alkalis, and UV exposure, and shows minimal yellowing or brittleness over extended periods, contributing to a long service life. Additionally, it can be enhanced with functional finishes such as moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, expanding its suitability for diverse applications.
The fabric has a wide range of uses. In apparel, it is ideal for creating tops, skirts, suits, casual base layers, and other garments that require both comfort and structure. Its excellent elasticity and shape stability make it particularly suitable for areas like necklines, cuffs, and waistbands. It is also well-suited for sportswear due to its stretch and durability. In home textiles, it can be used for sofa covers, cushion casings, and other decorative items that combine aesthetics with practicality.
This fabric also offers low cost, high weaving efficiency, and excellent dyeing performance, with color fastness ratings exceeding Level 4, making it a highly practical, durable, and cost-effective option for mass production.
