300GSM 75% Cotton 25% Poly Scuba Fabric, Width: 175CM

Structured Drape and Body: The 300 GSM weight, combined with the internal foam layer, gives the fabric a firm, sculptural quality that holds its shape without the need for heavy interlinings.
Thermal Insulation: The closed-cell foam layer between the knits creates a barrier that provides moderate insulation and buoyancy.
Edge Stability: The bonded construction prevents fraying and allows for clean, unfinished edges in garment design, facilitating simpler finishing techniques.
Dimensional Stability: The fabric resists stretching and sagging, maintaining the integrity of the garment's silhouette over time.

Material Composition: 75% Cotton, 25% Polyester (face fabrics), with a central foam layer.
Fabric Type: Scuba / Double-faced Neoprene Knit.
Weight: 300 GSM (Medium-Heavyweight).
Width: 175 cm.
Thickness: Approximately 2-3 mm, depending on foam core specification.
Key Property: Shape-holding, insulating, non-fraying.
Hand Feel: Firm, smooth outer surface with a cushioned, substantial hand.

This mid-weight Scuba fabric is used for garments and items requiring defined shape and presence. Common applications include:
Structured skirts, dresses, and tops
Fashion jackets, collars, and detailing
Bags, clutches, and accessories
Cosmetics cases, laptop sleeves, and protective gear
Hats and headbands

Care Instructions: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water is recommended. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry. Avoid high-heat drying, ironing, or dry cleaning, as heat can damage the foam layer.
Sewing and Cutting: Use a walking foot for sewing to manage thickness. A rotary cutter is recommended for clean cuts. Standard sewing needles can be used, but a size suitable for medium-heavy fabrics is advised.
Performance Note: The 75% cotton content provides a softer, more absorbent surface feel compared to 100% polyester scuba, but it may have a slower drying time. The foam layer is not typically designed for prolonged underwater use like technical neoprene.
Environmental Consideration: The foam core is often made from synthetic rubber (e.g., chloroprene or neoprene alternatives). Specific material inquiries should be directed to the supplier.
