Double-knit Fabric Supplier Hub for Apparel Buyers
Scuba, Ponte Roma and interlock are all double-knit directions, but they solve different garment needs. Start with scuba when shape and structured stretch matter most, Ponte Roma when opacity and everyday balance are the priority, and interlock when softer close-to-skin comfort is the better fit.
Compare Scuba, Ponte Roma and Interlock
Ponte Roma
For trousers, dresses, skirts and uniforms where buyers need a practical balance of opacity, recovery, drape and everyday comfort.
Interlock knit
For T-shirts, babywear, underwear, base layers and soft casualwear where handfeel, two-side appearance and lower edge curling matter.

Fabric sourcing guide for apparel buyers
Thermal fabric programs
For hoodies, jackets, winter linings and blanket programs, buyers usually compare GSM, brushing, shearing, warmth, handfeel and anti-pill expectations before sample approval.
Activewear fabric programs
For sportswear, leggings, tops and training apparel, the key review points are stretch, recovery, surface texture, opacity, quick-dry finishing and final garment use.
Eco-knit fabric programs
For recycled or lower-impact knit programs, buyers often need yarn direction, recycled content discussion, GRS, OCS or OEKO-TEX document coordination and clear bulk planning.
Before requesting samples
- Confirm the target garment: hoodie, jacket, sportswear, lining or casual knit.
- Prepare target GSM, finished width, composition and color direction if available.
- Note required finishes such as brushing, shearing, anti-pill, stretch or recycled content.
- Tell us whether you need sample review, quote support or custom specification development.
