WHAT’S IN THE CATEGORY

Two heavy bases for two completely different verticals.

Heavy Weight is where Fabrics per Meter 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, tote bags. Both reactive-printed. Both heavy enough to hold shape under cut-and-sew.

01
PREMIUM FRENCH TERRY
220 g/m², 195 cm, Portugal

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, tracksuits.

02
PREMIUM DECOR HALF PANAMA
200 g/m², 140 cm, Spain

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, structured home accessories.

FULL RANGE

Every Heavy Weight base, with full specs.

French Terry MOQ is 1 metre. Half Panama batches at 30 metres. Both reactive-printed, shipped on rolls.

French Terry pricing is quote-based per project. Half Panama has disclosed wholesale pricing — see the pricing section below. Both fabrics ship on cardboard rolls (Half Panama on rolls of 30–50 metres).

THE BASE MATERIAL

A knitted streetwear fabric and a woven decor fabric, side by side.

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 220 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.

01
PREMIUM FRENCH TERRY — 195 CM

220 g/m², knit, looped back

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.

02
PREMIUM DECOR HALF PANAMA — 140 CM

200 g/m², woven, basket weave

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.

THE PRINT

Same reactive process on knit and woven, identical colour fidelity.

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.

  • Deep colour saturation across heavy 200–220 g/m² weights
  • Soft cotton handfeel preserved — no plastic surface
  • Wash durability typically 600+ cycles before measurable fade
  • Pantone-matchable on request — talk to sales for colour-critical projects
  • Same dye chemistry across both heavy bases — consistent colour result
  • Custom artwork to your file (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, raster, vector)

ROLL SPECS & ORDERING

Two production hubs. Two batch formats. Same on-the-roll dispatch.

French Terry is sold by the metre with no batch minimum — a sample length of 5 m and a 1,000 m production order go through the same workflow. Half Panama runs in 30-metre minimum batches because of its decor-textile production cycle — rolls dispatch on 30 to 50-metre cardboard cores.

FRENCH TERRY MOQ

1 metre

Sample lengths from 1 m. Same MOQ as Fashion Weight bases — produced on the same Portuguese line.

HALF PANAMA BATCH

30 metres

Half Panama runs in 30-metre minimum batches. Reflects the home-textile production cycle in Spain. Multiple-batch orders ship as separate rolls of 30–50 m.

WIDTHS

140 / 195 cm

140 cm Half Panama (decor cuts), 195 cm French Terry (full-front hoodie / sweatshirt cuts without panel seaming).

CONDITIONING

Pre-shrunk

Cotton bases are pre-conditioned (mercerised, enzyme-washed where applicable, pre-shrunk) so post-print dimensional change is minimal.

PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

Two production hubs. SLA varies by metres + queue.

French Terry runs in Portugal alongside our hoodie and sweatshirt finished-goods line. Half Panama runs in Spain alongside our cushion and table-linen finished-goods line. Both share the same dispatch infrastructure for EU and outside-EU delivery.

WHO BUYS THIS

Heavy Weight feeds two completely different production verticals.

STREETWEAR BRANDS

In-house hoodie production

Independent streetwear labels cutting hoodies, sweatshirts, and joggers in-house. Source French Terry rolls with custom AOP, run on the brand’s own cut-and-sew — full design control with the same Portuguese cotton spec we use for our finished SKUs.

FASHION HOUSES

Structured casualwear

Established fashion houses building structured casualwear lines — oversized hoodies, drop-shoulder sweats, relaxed-fit joggers. 195 cm width handles full-bleed AOP across oversized cuts without seaming.

HOME-TEXTILE MANUFACTURERS

Cushions, curtains, table linen

Home-textile cut-and-sew teams using Half Panama as the structural input. Source rolls of 30–50 m, cut to cushion / panel / runner specs in-house, ship under your label. Disclosed pricing simplifies costing.

BAG & ACCESSORY MAKERS

Tote bags, upholstery panels

Manufacturers building printed tote bags, fabric panels, soft furnishings. Half Panama’s textured weave and 200 g/m² weight handle handles, straps, and structural panels well.

PRICING

Half Panama is published. French Terry is quote-based.

Premium Decor Half Panama has disclosed wholesale pricing — the published rate runs across all volume tiers, with custom contracts available at scale. Premium French Terry is quote-driven per project (volume tier, artwork complexity, finishing).
