What Should Be Checked Before Replacing a Discontinued Fabric?

Replacement fabrics need comparison for fit behavior, performance, shade, care, and process compatibility.

Material decisions affect the finished garment, so assessment should consider stretch, care, decoration, and the intended use. A swatch may be suitable for preliminary comparison, but relevant bulk-fabric checks and garment-level trials are still needed before the order is manufactured. Resample affected garments before approving the substitution.
