Premium French Terry — 240 g/m², 195 cm wide, looped back. The Portuguese streetwear standard for hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers and structured fashion. Premium Decor Half Panama — 200 g/m², 140 cm wide, basket-weave. The Spanish home-textile workhorse for cushions, table linens, curtains, tote bags and upholstery. Both reactive-printed by the metre, MOQ 1 metre on both bases.
Heavyweight cotton by the metre, printed on demand — French Terry from Portugal, Half Panama from Spain, from 1 metre, shipped on the roll.
Heavy Weight is where Fabrics per Metre splits across two production hubs. French Terry is the streetwear-fashion fabric — produced in Portugal, on the same line as our hoodie and sweat finished SKUs, knitted with a smooth face and looped back. Half Panama is the home-textile fabric — produced in Spain, woven, structured, used for cushions, curtains, table linens and tote bags. Both reactive-printed. Both heavy enough to hold shape under cut-and-sew.
100% cotton French Terry. Smooth knit face for full-bleed AOP, looped back for warmth and structure. The Portuguese streetwear standard. Best for hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, structured casualwear and tracksuits.
100% cotton in basket-weave (Half Panama) construction. Strong, textured, visually substantial. The Spanish decor workhorse. Best for cushions, table textiles, curtains, tote bags, upholstery and structured home accessories.
Both bases at MOQ 1 metre, reactive-printed, shipped on rolls.

French Terry is a knit construction with a smooth face and a looped back — the loops trap warmth without bulk, the smooth face accepts full-bleed AOP cleanly. At 240 g/m² it’s the streetwear fabric for hoodies, sweatshirts and joggers in their finished form.
Half Panama is a woven construction in a basket weave — tighter than canvas, more textured than poplin. At 200 g/m² it’s heavy enough to hold shape on a sofa, on a table, in a curtain panel, on a tote-bag handle. The textured face shows through reactive print, giving the printed surface a tactile quality flat-printed polyester can’t match.
Portuguese cotton French Terry. Knitted construction with a smooth face for AOP and a looped back for warmth, breathability and structure. The fabric input behind every premium hoodie or sweatshirt sold under your label. 195 cm wide — broad enough for full-front AOP without panel seaming, even on oversized cuts.
Spanish cotton Half Panama. Woven basket-weave structure — the structural backbone of European decor textiles. Strong, breathable, takes reactive print with depth and clarity. 140 cm wide. The default fabric input for cushions, tablecloths, curtains, tote bags and upholstery panels.
Reactive dye chemistry chemically bonds colour into cotton fibres. On a knitted French Terry, you get crisp face print plus a loop-back that softens the garment without affecting the show side. On a woven Half Panama, you get the same reactive saturation with the basket-weave texture showing through — a print quality flat-printed polyester home textiles can’t replicate.
Both bases are sold by the metre with no batch minimum — a 5 m sample and a 1,000 m production run go through the same workflow. Cut to your order length and dispatched on cardboard rolls.
