Denim and knit fabrics can lead to very different garment decisions. A woven denim fabric and a knit fabric may differ in movement, construction, feel, and the way they support a design. Start with the product you are making, then narrow to the exact fabric that fits it.
Selvedge refers to a finished fabric edge. The practical question for an apparel project is not just whether a fabric is selvedge; it is whether the exact fabric, color, quantity, and construction fit the garment you plan to make.
Start with the garment
Describe the product before choosing a fabric. Is it a structured denim garment, a knit top, a hoodie, a pant, a trim, or another apparel piece? The intended use helps frame the questions to ask about the fabric’s appearance, feel, and behavior in the finished design.
Compare the specific fabric
Record the fabric name or reference, color, intended garment, and whether the project needs retail yardage or wholesale quantity. If you need a companion fabric, such as rib with a main knit fabric, compare that specific material too.
Retail yardage and full-roll wholesale
KBM retail fabric is available by the yard, which can suit smaller quantities. Wholesale begins at one full roll for production orders. Since roll yardage varies by fabric, request a quote based on the exact fabric, color, and quantity needed.
