How to choose composite fiber (polyester) products

We offer a wide range of fabrics centered on composite fiber (polyester), along with linings and interlinings. From polyester-based materials, you can find stretchy functional materials such as SOLOTEX®. Our main products are from SUNWELL, IWASAKI, and Matsubara.

You can choose from plain weave fabrics, twill weave fabrics, and quilt batting. Plain weave fabrics vary in appearance from lightweight to heavyweight depending on the yarn, density, and finish. Twill has diagonal ridges on the surface, so you can use its visible texture as a guide. Quilt batting is used when you want to add warmth, loft, or dimensionality.

Customer reviews mention that it is lightweight and easy to handle, has a sheen that changes with the way light hits it, and feels cool when made into shirts.

This introduction was written by AI based on product data, reviews and the ApparelX Wiki.

MESS21 May 2025
Lightweight and easy to handle
A textile I've been interested in for a while.
It has a slightly glossy appearance depending on how the light hits it.
This time I made a shirt, which is light and much cooler than I expected.
I thought it would go well with a track jacket or track pants.

Maker's Pick4 Aug 2026
Feature-rich with a strong cotton feel
Among the Marude series, what stands out is its particularly strong cotton-like feel.
Although it is medium-weight, it also has excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, making it suitable for year-round use.

Frequently asked questions

QCan I place an order for fabric without any joins?
Cut-to-order quantities are possible, but for orders of 5 m or more, piece breaks may occur.
If there is a piece break in a cut order, we cut it a little longer.
Also, even for rolls, there may be piece breaks, so please place your order with some extra allowance (loss).
QI ordered the fabric by roll, but isn’t the quantity the same as what I ordered?
When you order fabric by the roll, the exact length of a full roll may vary, so the delivered quantity may be slightly more or less than the quantity you ordered.
If the quantity changes from your order, we will notify you of the quantity by email each time.
If the quantity is greater, we will ask you to pay the difference. If it is less, credit card payments are charged the lower amount (your card is charged when your order ships). If you have already paid by bank transfer, or used a payment method that is charged when you place the order, such as Alipay, we will refund the difference within a few days after shipping.
QI would like the test data for the fabric.
support page, or please include it in the remarks field when placing your order. We will check with the manufacturer.
QThe color of the sample card swatch and the actual fabric I ordered differ. Can it be exchanged?
There may be slight differences depending on the fiber material, and fiber products can vary in color from lot to lot. For that reason, we cannot offer an exchange for slight variations, but if the color difference is significant, we will consult with the manufacturer and arrange an exchange or other appropriate response.
QI would like hang tags and woven labels for fabric with a trademark.
Regarding hang tags and woven labels, if the manufacturer selling them is different, the prices, terms, etc. will also differ. If you order the fabric, we can arrange it from as little as one piece. In principle, hang tags are often available, but woven labels may not be, so when ordering the fabric, please let us know the fabric product number and the number of hang tags/woven labels, etc.
