Outer fabrics
ApparelX has a wide business network with many fabric manufacturers, and this time we display a lot of samples from whose products are listed on ApparelX.
Stretch fabrics
SUNWELL
Sunwell is a fabric manufacturer that produces a wide range of fabrics from synthetic to natural, from woven to knitted fabrics, and this time they exhibited their products with the keyword “stretch”.
They are developing a series called SOLOTEX, which is not made of polyurethane, but has stretchability added by the spring shape of the fiber, as well as a series called Reflax®, which looks like linen.

Matsubara
This manufacturer’s products are mainly made of stretch fabrics, and are perfect for those who say that stretch is their main focus. It is also characterized by its many expressive fabrics, such as wooden patterns. This time, the fabric was exhibited only in black.
Patterned and printed fabrics
As for patterns, two types of fabrics were exhibited: one with yarn-dyed yarn to produce a woven pattern, and the other with a printed pattern. For printed patterns, the product cycle is basically quick and trendy. As for yarn-dyed products, there are many standard items such as standard stripes and check patterns that will never get old.
Arinobe
Mainly fabrics woven with yarn-dyed yarns, and a wide range of natural fabrics and plain items are also available.

Except for some standard prints, the company discontinues them every season. It is important to order the patterns you like as soon as possible.
