Overview
This cotton-rich poly-cotton stretch twill fabric provides a material option for professional workwear where fabric composition, flexibility and weight are important selection factors. Combining cotton, polyester and spandex in a woven twill construction, it offers buyers an alternative to polyester-dominant stretch fabrics without changing to a different fabric weight category.
The technical specification documents mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, pilling resistance and colour fastness results to support material evaluation. WR treatment and reported high-visibility colour testing also make this fabric relevant to selected industrial and high-visibility workwear projects, subject to colourway-specific requirements and finished-garment assessment.
Performance & Standards
This cotton-rich stretch twill fabric has documented test results covering mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, pilling resistance, dimensional stability, colour fastness and water vapour resistance. High-visibility colour measurements are also reported under specified test conditions to support technical evaluation for professional workwear applications.

Testing Notes
Results reflect the conditions recorded in the supplied technical specification and may vary between fabric articles. The high-visibility colour testing entry references 25/50 washes without specifying the applicable wash count for each colourway. Colour-specific conformity and finished-garment requirements must be verified before final material approval. Hot-pressing colour fastness results do not override the fabric’s care instructions, which prohibit ironing.
Applications
Suitable Applications
This cotton-rich two-way stretch twill fabric is a candidate material for professional workwear programs requiring a cotton-dominant blend, woven construction and flexibility in garment design.
Potential applications include:
- Industrial Work Trousers: For workwear designs where a cotton-rich stretch twill construction is preferred.
- Work Jackets and Uniform Sets: For coordinated professional workwear collections using a consistent fabric composition.
- Workwear Overalls: For industrial garments requiring a woven stretch fabric, subject to garment construction and fit requirements.
- High-Visibility Workwear: For selected garment designs using colourways with applicable high-visibility colour test evidence.
Material Selection Considerations
Buyers should assess fabric composition, garment construction, intended working conditions and required performance criteria before final approval. The reported WR treatment should not be interpreted as waterproof protection.
For high-visibility applications, the relevant colourway, washing conditions and finished-garment compliance requirements must be confirmed. Fabric-level colour test results do not establish certification of a completed garment.
