Mr. Balaclava Custom Apparel Fabric Selection

When choosing fabric range for clothes every customer cares about how it helps a cloth perform and how comfortable it is to wear. Fabric influences how a garment touches the body, how it reacts to different weather, and the duration it can survive using or scrubbing. Mr. Balaclava goes beyond beauty. Each fabric in our collection is tested for tensile strength, color retention, moisture absorption, stretch recovery, and long-term durability. If it is sustainable sourcing or unparalleled technical features, no matter the case, Balaclava assists you to choose the optimum fabric needed with the identity of the brand and product intentions in mind.

Cotton Collection- A Fusion of Comfort and Personality

Cotton is one of the most favored options across all apparel becasue of it’s breathablility and softness. Among our cotton offerings is 100% combed cotton which is soft and durable, organic cotton for environmentally friendly brands, cotton-Lycra blends for stretch movements, brushed knit, and unbrushed knit. Cotton offers wide versatility as far as beanies, scarves, socks, and even linings inside balaclavas are concerned. The needs of brands which require easy to wash materials that retain vibrant colors are also met through garment-dyed and reactive-dyed options. Cotton gives skin friendly properties which make it the most simple yet powerful material needed.

Fleece Options for Ultimate Warmth

Fleece continues to be one of the most popular fabrics when it comes to winter clothing because it retains heat and feels soft to the touch. Our collection of fleece includes polar fleece which is the warmest, coach fleece which is the softest, anti-pill microfleece which is abrasion resistant with a smooth surface, and cotton-fleece blends that have a more natural feel. Fleece remains a preferred material for cold weather ski masks, hoodies, and balaclavas. Our selection of fleece comes in numerous textures, weights, and finishes making it ideal for brands looking to produce warm, yet lightweight winter clothing.

Polyester is unmatched when it comes to versatility, especially for performance apparel, and our range of fleece features: RPET or recycled polyester for eco-friendliness, quick-dry poly blends for activewear, and durable spun polyester for sublimation printing. With unrivaled moisture-wicking and quick-drying abilities, polyester is ideal for high-performance and sportswear. Our interlock polyester is ideal for outer layers due to its smooth surface, and our poly-cotton blends are soft but not as functional. These fabric range are commonly used in socks, athletic balaclavas, sublimated beanies, and outdoor gear where the need for durability and performance is paramount.
