Lightweight, strong pocketing fabric in 100% polyester, cotton, CVC, and TC blends — for trouser, jeans, jacket, and suit pocket bags. Fabricated using advanced looms from the finest yarns.
Pocketing fabric is a lightweight, strong woven textile used to construct the hidden pocket bags inside garments — the inner lining of trouser pockets, jeans pockets, jacket pockets, suit pockets, and skirt pockets. Unlike the shell fabric that forms the visible outside of the garment, pocketing fabric is entirely hidden, but must meet demanding performance requirements.
A quality pocketing fabric must be smooth for easy hand insertion, non-bulky so it doesn’t create visible bulk or show through the shell, and highly durable — pocket areas are among the highest-friction zones in any garment and must withstand thousands of insertions and withdrawals without tearing or pilling.
Abtex International (Pvt.) Ltd. supplies pocketing fabric from Pakistan in 100% polyester, cotton, CVC, and TC blends — fabricated using advanced looms with the finest yarns — for garment factories, buying houses, and fabric traders worldwide.
Abtex International (Pvt.) Ltd. supplies pocketing fabric in all major fibre compositions to meet the requirements of different garment types, quality levels, and buyer specifications.
The most widely used pocketing fabric globally. Lightweight, strong, resistant to tearing, quick-drying, and cost-effective. Ideal for mass-market trousers, jeans, workwear, and casual garments. Available in white and off-white as standard.
Softer and more breathable than polyester, cotton pocketing is preferred in premium trousers, formal suits, baby clothing, and garments where skin-contact comfort is important. Available in white and can be dyed to match garment requirements.
CVC (Chief Value Cotton) and TC (Tetron Cotton) blends combine the strength and durability of polyester with the softness and breathability of cotton — the ideal middle-ground for mid-range garments, school uniforms, and corporate wear.
Pocketing fabric with a small percentage of elastane (2–4%) for use in stretch trousers, skinny jeans, fitted bottoms, and activewear. The stretch in the pocket bag matches the stretch of the shell fabric, preventing pocket pull and distortion.
A good pocketing fabric must balance several performance characteristics — here are the key properties buyers and garment factories look for when sourcing pocket bag fabric.
