School Uniform Fabric & College Uniform Cloth
School and college uniform fabric woven in Bhilwara: poly-viscose checks, twills and suitings at 144-240 GSM that hold shade and size. Catalogue on request.

School and university uniforms have to absorb daily abuse, frequent washing and tight per-unit pricing. We supply easy-care poly-viscose blends with dependable colour retention and shrinkage control, so a uniform bought in April still matches the one bought in November.
What school uniform buyers deal with
School uniforms are washed more often and treated harder than almost any other garment. Trousers and skirts take playground wear, shirts go through the machine several times a week, and parents notice quickly when a colour fades or a seam pills. Schools also reorder every year as new students join, so a house colour or check that drifts between batches is visible in every class photo.
The practical answer is a durable, easy-care weight for bottoms, a lighter cloth for shirts, and a check or shade that is held on file from one academic year to the next.
Weight should follow the climate and the age group. Younger children are harder on trousers and skirts, so a twill earns its place there, while senior students in warm regions are often more comfortable in a lighter plain weave. A single school can use both, as long as both are dyed to the same house shade.
Choosing school fabric by garment
| Role or garment | Fabric | Spec | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trousers, skirts and pinafores | Grado 1st | PV twill, 220 to 240 GSM, 147 cm | Durable twill that hides daily scuffs |
| Blazers and everyday bottoms | Benzer Special | PV plain, 200 to 220 GSM, 147 cm | Easy-care, colour-fast, full institutional palette |
| Lighter bottoms and warm-climate wear | Sonata | PV plain, 190 to 210 GSM, 147 cm | Lighter weight for hot months |
| Checked skirts and pinafores | School Check Twill | PV 70/30 twill, 225 GSM, 147 cm | Yarn-dyed check with twill durability |
| Lighter check garments | School Check Plain | PV 70/30 plain, 192 GSM, 147 cm | Lighter yarn-dyed check |

Planning for the academic year
Uniform makers supplying schools usually need cloth in hand well before the new session starts, so it helps to confirm shades and quantities early. A check or house colour approved once can be woven again the following year against the same reference.
Stock shades ship from 50 m per shade. Custom shades and constructions are woven to order from 500 m per shade after lab dip approval, and the approved lot is held on file so later top-ups are matched to it. Greige cloth is woven on our own looms at Village Atoon, Bhilwara, and dyeing, processing and finishing run through partnered Bhilwara processing houses. Price is on request.
