Functional Rib with Compression

About XO Fabric

XO Fabric (Guangdong Shunde Mingyi Textile Co., Ltd.) has been manufacturing textiles since 2005 in Foshan, China, with an integrated workflow covering weaving, dyeing, and finishing under one roof. With 50+ technicians and a 2,000 sqm warehouse supporting hot-selling programs, we help wholesale buyers source consistent knit fabrics at scale.

This 1×1 Fine Rib Knit Fabric is built for stretch-and-recovery performance in everyday apparel—offering a narrow, clean rib profile and the recovery you need for trims that hold shape through repeated wear.

Product Highlights

• 160 GSM knit weight: A balanced mid-weight feel for rib trims—substantial enough for structured edges while remaining comfortable for close-to-skin applications like underwear and swim.
• 1×1 rib construction: The 1×1 rib structure creates a tight, even elastic texture that improves flexibility and helps trims sit neatly along collars, cuffs, and waistlines.
• 95% cotton / 5% spandex blend: Spandex provides elasticity for fit and durability, while cotton maintains softness and breathability—ideal for garments where comfort and longevity both matter.
• Excellent recovery for repeat wear: The fabric is engineered to bounce back after stretching, supporting stable appearance and reducing sagging on waistbands and cuff bands over time.
• Narrow profile with versatile usage: The compact rib surface and clean edge behavior make it suitable for delicate garment finishes, decorative trims, and functional bands across T-shirts to intimate apparel.

Technical Specifications

Ordering & Shipping

Our MOQ is 500m (547 yd). This production quantity helps maintain consistent knitting parameters and color matching across bulk runs—especially important when you are developing multiple colorways or reordering for seasonal replenishment. For wholesale buyers, it also reduces variance between rolls, supporting smoother cut-and-sew planning.

Production lead time is typically 10-20 business days (site-wide standard for all products). Because XO Fabric performs the complete process—from fabric preparation to dyeing and finishing—on an integrated line, we can manage quality checks effectively within the schedule. Goods ship under FOB Guangzhou terms, with options aligned to Guangzhou/Foshan port operations. OEM label and neutral packing are available, so your logistics and branding requirements can be handled consistently from the roll pack onward.

Recommended Applications

T-Shirt Collars: This 1×1 fine rib fabric is designed to return to shape after stretching, helping collars maintain a neat roll and fit without losing form. The cotton-forward comfort suits daily wear, while the rib structure supports a clean, close edge that lays smoothly during production. Buyers such as apparel factories and branded t-shirt programs often use it for dependable collar bands across multiple size runs.

Underwear Trim: The 95% cotton content provides a soft hand suitable for intimate apparel, while the 5% spandex contributes elasticity for comfortable movement and stable fit. Excellent recovery helps reduce stretching-out at waist and leg openings, which is critical for repeat use. Manufacturers and trim buyers prioritize this blend when targeting comfort, durability, and consistent appearance across production batches.

Cuffs: With its narrow 1×1 rib profile, the fabric offers a structured yet flexible cuff finish that resists sagging. The knit’s recovery supports long-term shape retention, helping cuffs keep their definition after washing and wear. Cut-and-sew brands and contract manufacturers choose it when they want tidy cuffs that still allow comfortable arm movement.

Bikini Waistbands: For swimwear trims, the fabric’s stretch and recovery balance supports a secure waistband feel without overstretching. Cotton adds comfort for the skin, while spandex helps maintain fit under repeated wear. Wholesale buyers developing swim lines use it to create bands that look crisp and remain stable as customers move.

Delicate Edges: The fine rib construction creates a refined edge effect while remaining practical for garment finish applications. This fabric is a strong choice when you want a controlled, narrow texture that supports clean assembly and comfortable wearing against the skin. Designers and production teams often source it for delicate hem and edge details in light-to-mid weight knitwear.
