Scuba Fabric
Scuba fabric—often colloquially compared to neoprene due to its dense, springy hand feel—is a fine-gauge, double-knit synthetic textile typically engineered from polyester and elastane blends on circular knitting machines. Designed with tight knit density, it combines structural body and smooth drape with breathability.
-
Durable: Highly resilient against stretching, creasing, and abrasion.
-
Soft Hand Feel: Features a sleek, smooth, and spongy surface.
-
Vibrant Colorways: Excellent dye uptake and pattern retention for vivid solids and prints.
-
Breathable: Offers good air permeability for active and daily wear.
-

Due to its versatile structure, it is widely utilized across both casual and formal segments, including tailored pants, structured dresses, tracksuits, swimwear, eveningwear, outerwear (coats and jackets), tunics, leggings, sportswear, skirts, and blousons.
