Factory Supply 400T polyester taffeta fabric with wrinkle and printing for Winter Jacket

Product Overview

This 100% polyester taffeta is a lightweight, densely constructed 400T fabric developed with a wrinkled surface effect and printing for winter jackets and other fashion or technical textile applications. The fabric weighs 52 gsm and is supplied at a listed width of 130 cm.

The combination of a compact taffeta construction, printed appearance, and textured finish makes the fabric particularly relevant to jacket programs that need a lightweight shell or lining with a distinctive visual effect. The product page also lists plain-dyed, silver-coated, PA-coated, PU-coated, PVC-coated, and uncoated options.

Waterproof, flame-retardant, anti-static, tear-resistant, and shrink-resistant properties are listed for this product range. Because several finishing routes are available, buyers should confirm which properties apply to the exact quality being sampled and request the relevant test reports before approving bulk production.

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The fabric is made from 100% polyester and carries a 400T density specification. Its closely constructed taffeta structure is intended to provide a lightweight yet durable base for printing and post-finishing.

A wrinkled surface gives the fabric a textured, less conventional appearance than flat plain-dyed taffeta. Printing adds color, pattern, and fashion differentiation, allowing the material to serve as a visible jacket shell or decorative component rather than only a hidden lining.

The source does not provide a yarn denier, quantified hand-feel description, stretch specification, or gloss level. Buyers should therefore assess a physical sample before selecting the fabric for a particular silhouette, brand standard, or garment layer.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Winter Jackets and Padded Outerwear

Winter jackets are the primary stated application. At 52 gsm, this taffeta can be considered for lightweight outer shells, internal linings, pocketing, decorative panels, or layers used around padding.

The fabric itself should not be treated as the jacket’s insulation. The garment developer should combine it with an appropriate padding, fleece, membrane, or lining system according to the required warmth and weather protection.

The wrinkle-and-print design can give puffer jackets, fashion parkas, children’s outerwear, and casual winter jackets a more distinctive appearance. If waterproof performance is required, confirm the selected coating and target test standard. Quilting, needle penetration, seams, and garment construction can affect the water resistance of the finished jacket.

Garment Linings and Fashion Components

The source lists both linings and general garments as applications. Its low weight can support lightweight lining panels, pocket bags, wind-resistant garment layers, trims, and decorative inserts.

For direct-skin or lining applications, buyers should assess hand feel, seam behavior, colorfastness, breathability, and static requirements on the approved sample. If the fabric will be washed with the completed garment, establish appropriate care instructions only after testing the selected color, print, and finish.

Bags and Luggage

The printed and textured surface may be used for lightweight bags, internal luggage components, pocketing, accessory panels, or decorative sections. A coating may provide additional structure or surface protection when required.

For high-abrasion or load-bearing areas, buyers should not rely only on the general tear-resistant description. Confirm tear strength, abrasion resistance, coating adhesion, seam strength, and reinforcement requirements for the intended bag construction.

Bedding and Home-Textile Products

Bedding and home textiles are included in the source application list. The fabric may be evaluated for decorative components, lightweight covers, linings, storage products, or printed accent panels.

Because the listed weight is 52 gsm, sampling is important before using the fabric in applications exposed to repeated abrasion, tension, or laundering. Finished-product requirements for colorfastness, dimensional stability, flame performance, and care labeling should be established according to the destination market and product category.

Sofa and Upholstery-Related Uses

The product page also lists sofa applications. At this weight, the material may be more suitable for internal lining, backing, dust-cover, or decorative use than for an unsupported, high-wear seating surface.

If the fabric is being considered for visible upholstery, test abrasion resistance, seam strength, dimensional stability, coating durability, and any applicable flame-performance requirement before bulk production. A heavier construction, backing, lamination, or alternative fabric may be needed for demanding furniture programs.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

Confirm the Selected Finish

The page presents plain-dyed, silver, PA, PU, PVC, and uncoated versions together. These options may create different hand feel, appearance, weight, coating durability, weather performance, sewing behavior, and regulatory requirements.

Specify the exact finish during quotation and sampling. Do not assume that every listed functional property is included in every version.

Approve Color, Print, and Wrinkle Appearance

Request a lab dip for custom colors and an approval sample for the complete visual effect. Evaluate the print scale, color placement, wrinkle distribution, surface appearance, and shade under the lighting conditions relevant to the finished product.

For repeat orders, agree on acceptable shade and appearance tolerances before bulk production.

Develop the Complete Jacket System

For winter jackets, determine whether the taffeta will serve as the outer shell, lining, pocketing, or decorative layer. Confirm the required insulation, wind resistance, water resistance, breathability, and garment-layer construction separately.

The final jacket’s performance depends on the entire system, including fabric, coating, padding, membrane, seams, closures, and garment design.

Conduct Sewing Trials

Test the intended needle size, thread, stitch density, seam type, and edge-finishing method on the selected quality. Closely constructed lightweight fabrics can react differently after coating, printing, or wrinkling.

If weather protection is important, assess whether stitch holes and quilting reduce the required performance. Seam sealing may need to be evaluated for the final garment design.

Establish Testing and Care Requirements

The source does not provide test methods, measured performance grades, shrinkage tolerances, or care instructions. Before bulk approval, buyers should communicate the intended market and request testing appropriate to the final specification.

Relevant checks may include composition, finished weight and width, colorfastness, dimensional stability, tear strength, seam performance, coating adhesion, water resistance, flame performance, anti-static performance, and restricted substances. Select only the tests required for the final application and destination market.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Colors, Finishes, and OEM Support

Colors can be produced according to customer requirements. OEM service and logo customization are available depending on the project request.

Buyers may discuss plain-dyed, printed, silver-coated, PA-coated, PU-coated, PVC-coated, or uncoated versions. The feasibility, MOQ, price, finished weight, usable width, performance, and lead time of each option should be confirmed during development.

Sampling Schedule

• Lab dip: normally 3–5 days
• Plain-color approval sample: normally 7–10 days
• Sample payment method: confirm with FabricsTrades when requesting the sample

For printed or specially coated developments, confirm whether additional strike-off, coating-trial, or approval time is required.

MOQ and Production

The listed MOQ is 2,000 meters per color. Bulk-production lead time is stated as 3–20 days.

Production capacity is listed as up to 150,000 meters per day and more than 3 million meters per month. Actual scheduling depends on color, printing, coating, order quantity, raw-material availability, testing, and sample approval.

Packaging and Container Loading

Standard packing options are 50, 100, or 200 meters per roll. Packing can also be adjusted according to buyer requirements.

The source lists typical loading quantities of approximately:

• 20GP container: 200,000 meters
• 40GP container: 380,000 meters

Confirm final roll length, roll diameter, packaging materials, labeling, shipping marks, and actual container loading quantity for the selected fabric specification.

Payment and Shipping

Express and sea freight are available.

For first-time clients, the page lists a typical payment structure of 30% T/T in advance and a 70% balance. It refers both to payment before shipping and to payment upon receipt of a copy of the bill of lading. Confirm the precise balance-payment trigger in the quotation or pro forma invoice before placing the order.

For repeat clients, L/C may be considered. Other payment terms can be negotiated.

Pricing depends on quantity and quality. The existing FAQ states that the online price is divided into three brackets and that larger quantities may receive more favorable pricing.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

Coated or water-resistant jacket fabrics can require additional chemical and documentation review. The current product listing does not by itself establish PFAS status, regulatory compliance, certification, or a tested performance grade.

• EU-bound consumer jackets: The EU REACH PFHxA Restriction becomes particularly relevant to general-public clothing and related accessories from 10 October 2026. Buyers should communicate any PFAS or restricted-substance requirements before selecting a coating and should review the shell, coating, membrane, and other distinct material layers where applicable.
• California-bound textile products: California AB 1817 restricts regulated PFAS in textile articles and includes specific provisions for certain outdoor apparel for severe wet conditions. A winter jacket should not automatically be assumed to fall within that category; confirm the finished product’s classification and documentation requirements.

Requirements vary by destination market, garment category, finish, intended use, and date of sale. Before bulk production, buyers may need to request chemical declarations, finish SDS or TDS documents, restricted-substance test reports, certificates of compliance, traceability records, technical data, or third-party testing.

Available supporting documents depend on the final fabric specification, finish, production batch, destination market, and testing request. Communicate all retailer, legal, and certification requirements before sampling and quotation.
