400T woven nylon fabric 36g bright down jacket 20D light down jacket lining

Product Overview

This 400T woven nylon fabric is a lightweight lining material developed principally for down jackets and puffer jackets. The product is listed with a 20D construction, 36 g weight, and bright finish.

Its compact woven structure, low listed weight, and bright appearance make it relevant to brands and garment factories seeking to reduce lining bulk while adding a clean, fashion-oriented interior finish. The original product information also describes a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and a barrier against wind and water. Because no laboratory values or test standards are provided, buyers whose programs depend on these performance properties should request the applicable technical data or testing before bulk production.

Product Specifications

The page is also classified under “T400 & T800 Fabrics,” while the product title and main description identify the construction as “400T woven nylon.” Buyers should confirm whether 400T refers to the required fabric density and whether the final construction contains any stretch component. Stretch performance should not be assumed from the category placement alone.

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The material is identified as nylon, but the precise fiber percentage is not supplied. Buyers requiring a particular nylon grade, recycled content, blended composition, or fiber declaration should specify this during quotation.

The fabric is listed as a 400T woven construction using a 20D specification. Together with the stated 36 g weight, this positions it as a lightweight material intended to limit unnecessary bulk in insulated garments. The exact density method, warp-and-weft yarn details, usable width, and weight basis are not provided and should be confirmed on the technical specification sheet.

A bright finish gives the fabric a more visible, fashion-led appearance than a subdued matte lining. Because gloss, color, and surface character can change under different lighting conditions, buyers should approve a physical sample or lab dip under lighting representative of the intended retail environment.

The source describes the fabric as durable and as providing a barrier against wind and water. No coating, lamination, membrane, water-pressure rating, spray rating, or air-permeability result is stated. These descriptions should therefore be treated as product-level marketing characteristics rather than quantified performance guarantees.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Down and Puffer Jacket Linings

The primary recommended use is as a lining for lightweight down jackets and puffer jackets. Its listed 36 g weight can help control overall garment weight and reduce interior bulk, while the bright finish can provide a clean or contrasting appearance when the jacket is opened.

For programs where the lining must help contain down or synthetic insulation, buyers should test the final fabric and sewn garment for down leakage. Needle size, stitch density, seam construction, quilting pattern, and repeated compression can all affect fill containment. The page does not provide a downproof rating, so this performance should be approved through sampling rather than assumed.

Lightweight Coat and Jacket Linings

The fabric may also be considered for lightweight coat and jacket linings where a low-mass woven nylon and bright interior appearance are desired. It can be evaluated for fashion jackets, transitional outerwear, packable garments, and selected windwear constructions.

Suitability depends on the outer shell, insulation, garment silhouette, and required comfort level. Buyers should assess seam behavior, static performance, breathability, colorfastness, and movement noise in the complete garment before confirming bulk production.

Costume and Fashion Garment Linings

The page’s costume classification and bright finish make the fabric relevant to fashion garments requiring a visually distinctive lining. It may be used to create tonal, contrasting, or vivid interior effects without adding the bulk of a heavier lining.

For close-fitting garments or areas with direct skin contact, confirm hand feel, seam placement, static tendency, and comfort using a finished prototype. Opacity and color migration should also be evaluated when light-colored outer fabrics or high-contrast combinations are used.

Sun-Protective Clothing Projects — Conditional Application

The page includes a sun-protective clothing tag, but it does not provide a UPF rating or ultraviolet-transmission test result. The fabric may be evaluated for relevant garment programs only after testing the approved color, construction, and finished garment.

UV protection can vary with color, density, stretch, moisture, chemical finish, and garment design. No UPF claim should be made until the required test method and result have been confirmed for the final production specification.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Confirm the full construction: Request the exact composition, usable width, weight basis, warp-and-weft yarn details, and density definition before costing or marker planning.
• Use production trials for lightweight sewing: A fine needle, suitable thread, controlled presser-foot pressure, and balanced tension may reduce puckering or visible needle damage. Confirm the sewing setup on the actual bulk-quality fabric.
• Evaluate down containment: If the material will contact loose down or fine synthetic fill, test fabric leakage and sewn-seam leakage after quilting, handling, and compression.
• Approve color and brightness physically: Use the lab dip and approval sample to confirm shade, surface brightness, lot-to-lot expectations, and appearance under relevant lighting.
• Request performance evidence where necessary: If wind resistance, water resistance, tear strength, abrasion resistance, colorfastness, seam slippage, or air permeability is commercially important, communicate the required method and acceptance value before sampling.
• Do not assume a coating or membrane: The page does not identify a coating, lamination, or membrane. Any such construction should be quoted and approved as a separate specification.
• Allow for the final garment system: Outer fabric, insulation, lining, quilting, seam design, and care method should be evaluated together. Fabric-level approval alone may not predict finished-garment performance.
• Test care performance: Washing, dry cleaning, heat exposure, shrinkage, dimensional stability, and appearance retention requirements are not stated. Confirm the intended care route and test the approved quality accordingly.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

The product is listed as spot goods, and customer-requested colors are offered. Stock availability, color MOQ, exact shade feasibility, finish options, usable width, and customized construction should be confirmed for each inquiry.

A free A4 reference sample can be provided. Lab dips normally take 3–5 days, while a plain-color approval sample normally takes 7–10 days. If an exact color standard is required, provide a Pantone reference, physical swatch, or other agreed color target and specify the viewing-light requirement.

OEM service and logo customization are available according to the project request. Feasibility, method, placement, MOQ, cost, and lead time should be confirmed during development.

The product page lists more than 3 million meters of monthly production capacity. Actual allocation depends on the approved specification, color, finish, order quantity, and production schedule.

Two bulk lead-time ranges appear on the page: 15–25 days after the down payment and lab-dip confirmation, and 3–20 days for mass production. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of the applicable production schedule before placing an order.

Pricing depends on quantity, quality, and required functions or finishes. The page also describes three quantity-based online price tiers, with more favorable pricing potentially available for larger quantities. Request a current quotation based on the final specification.

For first-time clients, the typical payment arrangement is 30% down payment and 70% before shipment by T/T. L/C may be considered for repeat clients, and the product information also lists L/C at sight. Other terms require advance negotiation. Shipping is available by express or sea freight.
