The Three-Layer Spacer Structure & Thermal Performance
The double-sided knitted structure of our 290 gsm spacer fabric utilizes a three-layer "sandwich" construction to provide superior thermal insulation compared to standard knit textiles. By connecting a face layer and a back layer with a bulky middle spacer layer, the fabric traps a micro-climate of static air that effectively retains body temperature while remaining highly breathable and comfortable to wear.
The surface of this fabric features clear, distinct vertical stripes, which are created through a double-sided knitting process. This construction gives the fabric a stable, structured silhouette that resists wrinkling and maintains its shape beautifully. The 81% polyester content ensures excellent dimensional stability and quick-drying performance, making it highly durable, wear-resistant, and easy to cut during garment production.

Elastic Recovery and Comfort of the 81/19 Blend
Featuring a high-performance blend of 81% Polyester and 19% Spandex, this 290 gsm polyester spandex spacer fabric delivers exceptional four-way stretch and strong elastic recovery. This specific composition ensures that garments made from D293 move comfortably with the wearer while preventing bagging, stretching out, or losing their original tailored silhouette over time.
With 19% spandex, the fabric provides a soft, delicate, and skin-friendly hand feel that feels comfortable directly against the skin. Meanwhile, the 81% polyester content provides the essential dimensional stability and quick-drying performance required for both everyday fashion and activewear. This combination makes it a highly reliable fabric for high-density, wear-resistant, and pill-resistant apparel.
