Buyer value
Why buyers choose this category
Use this category as a development starting point, then confirm the final construction against your project brief.
Application-led construction
Choose material and structure around the garment zone and intended end use.
Sample-led development
Start from a swatch, garment brief or target construction and refine the direction through sampling.
Finishing options
Review surface, handfeel and functional finishing around the intended garment and approval method.
Bulk follow-up
Carry the approved construction, colour and agreed checks into production follow-up.
Development brief
Define the material direction before sampling

Buyer questions
Questions to clarify before sampling
What are performance knit fabrics?
Performance knit fabrics are loop-formed textile constructions used when stretch, recovery, drape, surface feel or body movement are important to the garment. Sinjo’s verified knit references cover several weights and compositions, but a knit name alone does not prove moisture management, recovery or other performance. Buyers should compare the complete construction, finished specification and intended garment use.
What are they used for?
Performance knits are commonly evaluated for sports tops, running garments, training apparel, close-to-body layers, stretch panels and other activewear uses. The fabric decision should consider movement, recovery, handfeel, opacity, finished weight, composition and any finishing requirement. Application pages help frame those decisions, while the independent SKU pages provide the verified commercial data available for each individual reference.
Which verified weights are currently shown?
The current verified Sinjo catalogue contains 11 references in this category with published weights spanning 145–340 GSM. This is a snapshot of the verified references currently online, not a promise that every weight in the interval is stocked or available. Open an individual SKU page to see its exact verified weight, then request a sample or development review for project-specific availability.
Which constructions can Sinjo develop?
A knit development brief can begin with garment type, reference SKU, target composition, finished weight, stretch and recovery direction, surface character and performance goals. Single-jersey, interlock, double-knit or textured directions should be treated as construction choices, not automatic performance claims. Sampling is used to compare the physical result, while measurable targets should remain tied to an agreed method.
How do buyers request a fabric sample?
Choose a verified SKU from the catalogue and use its Request Sample action. The sample form carries the reference code, fabric name, category and source page into the enquiry so the buyer does not need to re-enter known data. Company, name and email are required; application, quantity, target specification and project timing can be left blank when they are not yet known.
Have a reference fabric or target specification?
Start with your application, construction and performance requirements. After reviewing the brief, we can arrange the appropriate way to exchange photos, swatches, specifications or technical files.
