Police & Army Uniform Cloth Manufacturer
Police and army uniform cloth woven in Bhilwara: poly-viscose khaki and olive, 215-235 GSM for trousers, dyed to your force's shade and matched on reorder.
Force uniforms demand a precise shade, a structured handle and colour that survives sun and repeated laundering. Our law-enforcement fabrics are built to specification, holding their crease and their colour through the field conditions police and army wear is put through.
What force buyers need proven
Police and defence uniforms are worn through long shifts, laundered often and inspected on parade. The two questions buyers ask most are whether one khaki or olive will match across shirt and trouser, and whether the shade holds through repeated washing. Trousers also take more abrasion than most uniform garments, from vehicles, kit and outdoor duty.
A force program therefore usually pairs a structured shirting-weight suiting with a heavier, abrasion-resistant trouser cloth, both woven against one shade standard.
Climate decides the weight more than rank does. Forces serving hot plains usually choose the lighter end of the range for shirts and a mid-weight twill for trousers, while ceremonial and cold-region dress can carry heavier cloth. Asking for swatches of two adjacent weights and wear-testing them through a duty week is the simplest way to decide.

Tenders, approvals and reorders
Send the tender specification or a sample garment and we match a quality and shade to it, then submit swatches for approval. Shirt and trouser cloth ordered from the same lot are kept on file together.
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.
