This 8×4 Soft & Stylish Polyester Stretch Rib Fabric features a balanced composition of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, combining excellent stretch performance with durability and comfort. The fabric is engineered with an 8×4 rib knit structure, creating a refined, textured surface that offers both visual appeal and functional advantages.
The milk silk finish gives the fabric a soft, silky hand feel—smooth to the touch and highly comfortable against the skin. This special treatment enhances wearability while maintaining breathability and moisture management properties. Combined with its quick-drying performance, it efficiently wicks away sweat and dries rapidly, making it ideal for active lifestyles and humid environments.
With a fabric weight of 250GSM, this material provides a moderate thickness that delivers good body support without feeling heavy or stiff. Its width of 180cm allows for generous cutting space, reducing waste during garment production and enabling efficient use in various styles—from sportswear to casual tops and base layers.
The 8×4 rib construction ensures even elasticity in both directions, offering a snug yet comfortable fit that moves with the body. It is particularly suitable for garments requiring shape retention and flexibility, such as sweatshirts, athletic tops, hoodies, and innerwear.
Thanks to its anti-pilling property, the fabric resists surface abrasion and maintains a clean appearance over time, even after repeated washing. It also exhibits excellent wrinkle resistance and color fastness (rated above Level 4), ensuring long-lasting quality and easy care.
Whether you're designing performance apparel or stylish everyday wear, this 8×4 milk silk rib knit delivers a perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and fashion—a practical choice for modern activewear and lifestyle clothing.
