Sourcing teams ask us for two things before approving a base cloth: something to touch, and something to check. For YX3136 we supply both – a swatch cut from current stock, and the Intertek third-party test report covering this article. Construction and blend are confirmed in writing with the swatch, not listed on this page, so nothing gets quoted from an outdated posting.
The independent report is the more useful half of that package. It documents:
- Shrinkage and wash durability after laundering, the two results that predict end-of-season complaints
- Seam strength, measured on the made-up construction rather than flat cloth
- Color fastness, anti-pilling and print adhesion across the sublimated surface
Documentation is one layer only; finished goods are also inspected at AQL 2.5 under the procedures described on our quality system page. To compare YX3136 against the numbered articles we hold in stock, start from the Akilex fabric lab.
