Why Buyers Choose Air Layer Fabric

Air layer fabric, also known as polyester scuba knit, is built with a special three-layer construction that traps air between the face and back layers. The result is a lightweight-feeling fabric with surprising body and bounce, which is why it is a favorite for fashion-forward dresses, hoodies and jackets.

Garment makers in ASEAN and Africa use air layer for two main reasons: it holds shape without heavy lining, and it photographs well for online and social selling. The fabric recovers quickly after stretching, so hoodies and dresses keep their silhouette through many wears and washes.

We offer air layer from 280 GSM for blouses and dresses to 400 GSM for structured jackets and outerwear. Stock shades ship in 3–7 days; custom colors run 15–25 days after deposit and lab dip approval.

Applications

Air layer fabric suits dresses and skirts, hoodies and sweatshirts, jackets, outerwear and even bags. Its clean edge-hold also works well for collar-less and seamless-look designs.

Customization

GSM, width, stretch direction, hand-feel and finish can be adjusted. Printing feasibility depends on weight and finish — send your requirement and we will confirm with development samples.
