Flytex Fabric

Company Profile

Flytex's classification list is a dress-and-blouse fabric range with a shirting backbone: poplin, broadcloth and twill for shirts and uniforms; chiffon for dresses and scarves; corduroy for seasonal casualwear; and embroidered fabrics — including eyelet allover, the broderie-anglaise style used in summer dresses and blouses — as the decorative speciality. The fiber spread (cotton, polyester, linen/cotton, cotton/poly, rayon, ramie) follows the same logic: each fabric family in the blend its market expects.

Wuxi, on Lake Tai in southern Jiangsu, is one of China's older textile cities, and exporters there typically weave for the Japanese, European and American garment trades. The record's habit of quoting exact constructions and widths — T/C (polyester/cotton) eyelet at 47 and 63 inches — is how woven exporters actually sell: a fabric is a numbered construction with a width and a price, and the record reads like the mill's own range card. The contact named is Jim Wang; no company website was listed.

Flytex's record ends its classification with worked examples: 'T/c 47-inch and 63-inch EYELET ALLOVER EM...' — polyester/cotton eyelet embroidery quoted at two widths. Eyelet allover is a demanding cloth: the base fabric must survive punching and embroidery without distortion, and the two widths correspond to different garment cutting traditions. The fiber list behind the fabrics — cotton, polyester, linen/cotton, cotton/poly, rayon, ramie — includes ramie, the Chinese bast fiber ('China grass'), a regional speciality that appears in few other records in this directory and gives Flytex's summer fabrics a distinctive crisp, linen-like option.

Sourcing and Working With Flytex Fabric

Woven enquiries should quote the construction, not just the fabric name: 'poplin' at Flytex could be cotton, T/C or another blend at several weights, so state fiber, yarn count if known, finished weight and width — the record's 47-inch and 63-inch eyelet widths show how width is part of the offer. For embroidered and eyelet fabrics, add the pattern repeat and whether the embroidery is allover or border, since that decides both price and how a garment can be cut.

Chiffon and corduroy pull in opposite directions operationally — chiffon needs careful handling and is often bought with dyeing and printing attached; corduroy needs its pile direction respected in cutting — so ask which fabrics the mill supplies greige, dyed or printed. As with most Jiangsu woven exporters, confirm the inspection standard (the four-point system is conventional) and how claims on seconds are handled before the first container.

Understanding the Range

Woven fabrics — the family Flytex Fabric works in — are made by interlacing warp and weft, and their character comes from the weave, the yarn and the finish in that order. Buyers comparing woven mills should ask for the full construction (yarn counts, threads per inch, finished weight) rather than accepting a fabric name alone, because names like poplin, twill or canvas cover several grades. The other discipline in this trade is lot consistency: dyeing and finishing are batch processes, so agreeing shade bands, shrinkage limits and inspection standards before bulk is woven is what separates a smooth program from an expensive argument.
