Key Benefits
This is a premium 100 Percent Nylon Taslan 228T 320D Woven Jacket Fabric engineered for outdoor apparel and gear. It delivers the perfect balance of durability and comfort, featuring a tight weave that is both breathable and downproof, ensuring your insulation stays in place while moisture escapes. With a stock of 200 colors ready to ship, this fabric is the ideal choice for manufacturing jackets, bags, and accessories for boys and girls where performance meets style.
Why Choose This Fabric?
- Downproof Construction: The high thread count prevents down feathers and synthetic fill from leaking, maintaining the loft and warmth of your garment.
- Breathable Comfort: Despite its durable 320D weave, the Taslan texture allows air circulation, preventing overheating during high-activity outdoor use.
- Versatile Application: Perfect for lightweight jackets, technical shell layers, and robust bags that require a soft yet sturdy touch.
- Ready Stock Advantage: With 200 colors available for immediate shipment, we eliminate minimum order delays, speeding up your production cycle significantly.
Having worked with this specific Taslan finish in our own prototyping, I can attest to its surprisingly soft hand-feel despite the robust 320D denier. It drapes beautifully on a test jacket and handles abrasion well on rocky trails. Honestly, the only minor trade-off is that it is not completely waterproof without a coating, but for pure breathability and wind resistance, it excels.
Real Customer Feedback
“We ordered this Taslan fabric for our new line of kids’ hiking jackets. The downproof quality is excellent—we had zero feather leaks in quality control. The 200 color options made it easy to match our brand palette without waiting for custom dyeing. Lead times were the fastest we have experienced.”

FAQ
Is this fabric suitable for sewing at home?
Yes. The 320D Taslan weave is stable and does not stretch excessively, making it easier to sew than slippery linings. We recommend using a Microtex needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to penetrate the tight weave without damaging the fibers.
Can I use this for lightweight luggage?
Absolutely. While it is excellent for jackets, the 320D denier provides enough structural integrity for cosmetic bags, light backpacks, and packing cubes. For heavier luggage requiring rigid structure, consider our Custom 100 Percent Polyester Oxford Fabric which is specifically lined for luggage use.
How do I care for garments made with this fabric?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Hang to dry or tumble dry low. Do not iron at high temperatures.
What does “200 Colors Stock” mean exactly?
It means we stock 200 different dyed colors in our warehouse, ready for immediate cutting and shipment. This bypasses the typical 2-3 week dyeing lead time, allowing you to sample or produce small batches instantly without minimum dye lots.
