When uniforms need a knit
Uniforms can be cut from more than one construction. This note is only about starting with a knit.
Why a uniform might start knit
For uniforms, the brief needs care practicality. A useful hand note is stable.
A knit is the right first filter when easy-care when required matters for the uniform.
When uniforms should leave knit
If the uniform needs the other construction, start a separate marketplace search. Mixing knit and the alternative in one grid makes GSM meaningless.
How FabStitch fits this question
When uniforms need a knit is a sourcing note, not a product listing and not a second marketplace. The commercial catalog stays at /marketplace/, and each named fabric keeps its own product page with composition, construction, and documented uses.
Open a fabric only when the published fields match the brief you already have. Then inquire with metres and garment context. FabStitch handles supplier sourcing after the inquiry — this page does not quote a price, invent stock, or claim a certificate the fabric page never published.
Keep fibre, construction, and garment as separate filters. Mixing them into one vague search is how soft, wrong shortlists start.
What to do next
Return to the marketplace and apply the narrowest filter that still matches the brief. Prefer a named fabric page over sharing a filtered URL — filtered marketplace states stay noindex.
Open two fabric pages side by side and compare only published fields: composition, construction, weight when present, and Best For uses. Leave GSM blank in the inquiry when the page does not publish it.
If the garment is fixed as uniforms, use the Best For edit for that use as the commercial entry, then inquire with quantity once the cloth is chosen.
