Real production context
For fleece, supplier depth matters as much as GSM and unit price.

Fleece Fabric Manufacturer Guide for Bulk Buyers: Samples, GSM and RFQ Checks
Fleece fabric sourcing moves faster when buyers qualify the program before requesting pricing. Start with garment use, GSM range, face and backing appearance, pile direction and finish expectations before moving to bulk RFQ discussion.
01 Confirm garment use, GSM range, face and backing appearance before asking for bulk pricing.
02 Include a reference swatch or clear face-and-back photographs, and explain what needs to match.
03 Specify the finish and testing requirements for the selected fabric before bulk approval.

Compare intended garment, pile, backing, target GSM, width and brushing before quotation.
Buyer sample inspection
Approve pile, backing, handfeel, surface after wash and the agreed test route before bulk.
Brushed surface detail
Handfeel and anti-pilling decisions start with the surface.
Production capability
Factory context matters more than a low quote alone.

Five checks before requesting a bulk fleece quote
Use the same garment brief, sample reference and finishing requirements when comparing fleece quotations. Record differences before deciding which sample to approve.
1
Comparing only the lowest price
A cheaper quote may hide lighter GSM, weaker brushing, simpler finish or unclear packing terms.
2
Choosing GSM without use case
Hoodies, jackets, tracksuits and blankets need different weight, handfeel and warmth targets.
3
Leaving pilling requirements undefined
Agree the test method, target result and care conditions for the selected fabric. Review the relevant results before approval.
4
Sending RFQs without face and pile details
Face and backing look, pile direction and color route often decide whether the sample path is actually comparable.
5
Comparing quotes with different specifications
Check that composition, GSM, usable width, color, finish, testing and packing are stated on the same basis.
What buyers should send before asking for bulk fleece pricing
The clearest fleece RFQs include the target garment category, the GSM range, the expected face and backing look, the pile direction and any finish concern that could change the sample path.
RFQ input review
Start with garment use, GSM range, face and backing look, pile direction and market notes before comparing bulk pricing.
Sample reference
Identify the sample you are comparing. Record the face, backing, pile direction, handfeel and any changes you need.
Finishing and testing requirements
State the brushing, surface appearance and care requirements. Add any required test method and acceptance criteria.

Buying by catalog
- Many fabric names, little decision support
- Hard to compare handfeel, GSM and finish
- Quote looks simple until bulk details appear
Buying with a sourcing checklist
- Start from garment use, not only price
- Compare fleece options by real production risk
- Request samples with clear pass/fail checkpoints
Prepare your fleece sample and quote request
If your team is already comparing swatches or preparing a bulk fleece program, use the sample request route to confirm garment use, GSM range and finishing direction before final pricing discussion.
Buyer FAQ
What to clarify before requesting a fleece sample or quotation.
What should buyers confirm before requesting bulk fleece pricing?
Confirm garment use, GSM range, face and backing look, pile direction, finish expectations and destination market before requesting pricing.
What should I send if the full specification is not ready?
Start with the intended garment, season, quantity and a reference swatch or photographs. Add your preferred weight, width, color and finish if known. Mark the requirements that are still open.
How should I compare two fleece samples?
Review both faces, pile direction, backing, handfeel, usable width and weight against the same garment brief. Agree the relevant care and performance checks, and retain the approved sample for bulk comparison.
What should I confirm when requesting anti-pill fleece?
Identify the exact fabric and finish, then agree the pilling test method, target result and any washing conditions. Request the relevant test evidence for that fabric before approval.
