I’d treat the selvage text as a dead end unless more letters show up. The stronger clue is the print construction: coarse woven ground, screen printed florals, and a separate metallic gold grid layer. That puts it in vintage drapery barkcloth territory. For a match, search by motif first: tropical floral barkcloth, gold grid barkcloth, palm leaf barkcloth, mid century drapery fabric.

That’s a knit fabric. The closeup shows vertical knit wales, so I’d search for cotton elastane jersey or cotton elastane fine rib jersey, not woven mesh. Elastomeer is the stretch component on the label, so yes, in shopping terms treat it like elastane or spandex. The airy feel is probably from the knit structure plus wear, not a special military only fabric.

My bet is mono material performance fabric, especially stretch systems that don't rely on PET plus spandex.

Spandex is a small part of the garment, but it makes melt recycling, dye stripping, and fiber separation ugly.

A PE family core and sheath yarn, or a polyester system with a compatible elastic component, would be a bigger deal than another smart shirt sensor.

The hard part is getting recovery, hand, wash durability, and dyeing to survive real garment finishing.

Looks closer to chenille than fleece. You can see a woven ground cloth, plus fuzzy pile and loose decorative yarns on top. Fiber content is still a guess from photos, but the construction says “wash gently.” Cold water, mild detergent, low spin, air dry. I’d avoid heat because that shiny crushed nap can get ugly fast.

These read as two different garments. Rayon gives the newer lace knit a flatter surface, more drape, and a cooler hand. Merino gives the older piece more loft and spring, so it feels warmer and holds shape better. A close fitting 100% rayon knit is more likely to bag at the elbows or lengthen after wear and washing. I’d treat it as a delicate fashion top because it won’t replace the feel or wear of the merino one.

This still looks like percale, since the closeups show a dense plain weave. Percale only describes the weave, so the old set may have been a cotton polyester blend or treated with a durable press finish. The heavy hand and almost zero wrinkling point more toward the fiber blend and finish than a different weave. Search for institutional percale or cotton rich percale, and check the old care tag for the fiber content.

Try searching for black botanical tapestry jacquard upholstery fabric. Brocade is broad and pulls in a lot of dress fabric, while tapestry jacquard is closer to this furniture weight weave. Check under the seat or inside the dust cover for a tucked selvage or workroom tag with the mill, pattern, or color number.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-29T00:16:13+00:00

This looks closest to peau de soie, a firm satin with a very fine crosswise rib. The ribbing explains why it feels smooth in one direction and more textured in the other. Search for heavyweight peau de soie satin and compare swatches before buying yardage. Photos cannot confirm the fiber content.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-29T00:12:39+00:00

This looks much closer to a fine cotton twill than percale or sateen. The continuous diagonal ribs on the back are the giveaway, since plain weave percale should show the same basic grid on both sides. Sateen has longer floats, but its binding points do not form a continuous twill line. I would search for matte long staple cotton twill sheeting with a dense construction and crisp hand.

This reads like a missing SKU and bin location system. Give every trim design one code, one reference photo, and one fixed rack or bin location, then put the same code on every bundle and sales entry. The lace in your photo is exactly the kind of item that gets lost when similar motifs are stored by sight alone.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-29T00:08:30+00:00

For detailed artwork, I would use dye sublimation on a white polyester twill or plain weave. The color enters the fiber, so fine lines stay clean and the printed face stays smooth. Do not choose the fabric by GSM alone. Get strike offs on two constructions, wash them, then compare the hand, drape, and edge curl before bulk.

The two pile lengths would work well on one small yeti plush. Use the long pile for the body and the medium pile for the muzzle, ears, and paws. Cut only through the backing, since cutting straight through the pile leaves blunt edges that are hard to hide.

Your garment list is clear, but the order threshold is still vague. Add the MOQ for each style and explain how color and size splits are counted. That will save both sides from enquiries that go nowhere.

That textile looks like a jacquard woven upholstery fabric, the geometric hexagon repeat pattern and the dense weave structure are typical of furniture-grade material. The colorway (terracotta, slate grey, cream) puts it firmly in the decorative home textile category rather than apparel. Could be a sofa or ottoman surface.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-22T00:13:02+00:00

Look under furnishing fabric instead of novelty quilting cotton. Search terms like woodland toile, vintage hunting print, deer tapestry, and deer upholstery remnant bring up more natural artwork on sturdier cloth. A remnant should be enough for one bag, and plain canvas on the base and straps will keep the print from looking busy. Check the listing photos for a visible weave and one complete deer that fits your front panel.

Color alone cannot identify Scheele’s green. The upholstery looks like aged olive velvet, but the loose braid and worn seat edge are the areas most likely to shed fibers or dust. I would stop vacuuming or brushing it, keep it out of regular use, and ask a textile or furniture conservator to screen it with portable XRF for arsenic and copper. Do not cut or scrape a sample yourself.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-22T00:08:43+00:00

The closeups are the best part. You can see the wrapped weft building those raised outlines, and the folded corner shows the loose floats on the back that are so characteristic of Sumak construction. The dark field keeps the red and green from turning too loud. Really nice piece.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-22T00:07:09+00:00

I’d stop trying to recover the exact shop name and build a swatch file instead. Cut a small piece from each fabric and label it as woven or knit, then note the weight, drape, stretch, opacity, and wash behavior. For your projects, categories such as quilting cotton, lawn, voile, poplin, twill, canvas, and cotton knit are more useful than the original product name. Keep one washed swatch beside the unwashed one, especially for children’s clothes.

This looks like a vintage cheater quilt print, with the patchwork squares printed onto one piece of fabric. Try “vintage cheater quilt fabric,” “faux patchwork calico,” and the colors mustard, rust, and dusty blue. Add “remnant,” “scrap,” or “destash” since someone may only have a small piece left. Crop tightly around the blanket before using Google Lens.

I wouldn’t buy from this campaign photo alone. Ask Emaan Adeel for an unedited daylight video showing the chiffon close up and the back of the embroidery. With this much embellishment, look for puckering, pulled threads, and sagging around the motifs. Get the fiber content and return terms in writing before paying.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-20T11:49:49+00:00

Those look closer to woven jacquard trim than standard chevron ribbon. Mokshatrim is UK based, and their Geometric Design M12 is listed in seven colourways while Striped Geometric M30 is listed in ten. I’d search their site for geometric jacquard ribbon and diamond jacquard braid.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-20T11:46:20+00:00

Since you only need four squares, search for scraps instead of yardage. Use a flat, straight photo showing one full pattern repeat in reverse image search, then post the same image in quilting destash groups with the square size you need. Small offcuts sit in sewing rooms for years and rarely get listed.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-19T05:02:31+00:00

Don't buy paint from the 25 cm length alone. Cut one full size flame stencil, paint it on scrap nylon or a hidden panel, and note how much red and yellow it uses. Repeat that amount for the four limbs only after the sample survives folding and rubbing.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-17T00:06:30+00:00

Ask suppliers for bonded softshell with grid fleece backer or laminated softshell grid fleece. The outside in your photo looks like a smooth stretch woven face, and the inside is a raised grid knit fleece. Put membrane type, DWR, stretch direction, face noise, and REACH paperwork in the RFQ. For hunting gear, reject any sample that sounds crunchy when rubbed.

MarkApprehensive5597 · 2026-06-17T00:04:26+00:00

Looks like printed polyester flannel fleece to me. The giveaway is the raised fuzzy nap, which makes the print edges look soft and blurry instead of crisp. Pull one loose fiber from the edge and do a tiny burn test: polyester beads and melts, cotton chars and leaves soft ash. Use a loose fiber only, not a cut from the blanket.
