Overview
This polyester-rich stretch twill offers a relatively lighter-weight option for professional workwear development. Combining polyester, cotton and spandex, it provides a practical material choice for garment programmes seeking a balance of woven structure and flexibility.
Its two-way stretch construction and WR treatment support consideration for workwear designs where movement and surface water repellency are relevant selection factors. Fluorescent colour options also make the fabric worth evaluating for selected high-visibility workwear projects, subject to colour-specific performance requirements and finished-garment compliance.
Performance & Standards
This stretch twill fabric has documented tensile, tear, abrasion and colour-fastness test results, alongside dimensional stability and water-vapour resistance data. The technical specification also records high-visibility colour performance under EN ISO 20471.

Testing Notes
Results are reported in the supplier’s technical specification and may vary between articles. The 25/50-wash high-visibility results are not allocated to individual colourways in the available document. Pilling and hydrostatic-head results are not provided. OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and GRS are listed in the specification, but certificate scope and validity have not been independently verified. Fabric test results do not establish finished-garment certification.
Applications
Potential Applications
- Professional Workwear Trousers: For workwear trouser development requiring a relatively lighter-weight twill construction with two-way stretch for garment movement.
- Workwear Jackets and Uniform Sets: For coordinated professional workwear programmes where a polyester-rich stretch twill is being evaluated for jackets and matching garments.
- High-Visibility Workwear: For garment development using suitable fluorescent fabric colourways, subject to colour-specific test evidence and finished-garment requirements under EN ISO 20471.
Material Selection Considerations
Fabric selection should consider the intended working environment, garment construction, movement requirements, colour configuration and laundering conditions. The available technical results provide a basis for material evaluation, while suitability for specific workwear applications and compliance of the finished garment must be assessed separately.
