Key Benefits
- Moisture permeability of 15,000 g/m²/24h to JIS L 1099 B-1 for effective breathability
- DWR level 5 before washing, level 4 after washing to maintain surface water beading
- Single-sided carbon brushing terylene fabric provides a soft inner surface
Problems It Solves
- Garments that lose waterproof performance after repeated washing
- Lack of documented test results for water resistance and breathability
- Outerwear that traps moisture due to low vapour permeability
Who It Is For
- Outdoor and lifestyle brands sourcing functional cotton-based outerwear
- Importers requiring test-standard-backed performance claims for retail buyers
- Private-label programmes needing a single-layer waterproof garment with breathability
Application Scenarios
- Urban outdoor wear in moderate rain with high activity levels
- Light hiking or commuting where breathability and water resistance are required
- Programmes needing documented performance to JIS standards for compliance
Technical Features and Construction
- 100% terylene fabric with single-sided carbon brushing surface
- DWR finish rated level 5 before washing, level 4 after washing
- Single-layer construction with continuous membrane integration
- Waterproofness and vapour permeability tested to JIS standards
Materials
- Outer fabric: 100% cotton
- Membrane: PU-membrane
- Inner fabric: 100% terylene with single-sided carbon brushing surface
- Surface treatment: Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish
How It Is Made
- Terylene fabric with carbon brushing is applied as a single-sided layer
- DWR finish is applied post-lamination to maintain performance
Quality Control and Testing
- Moisture permeability tested to JIS L 1099 B-1
- DWR level verified before and after washing
Certification
Customization Options
- Colourway beyond standard: available on request, specification TBC
- Label, hangtag and packaging: buyer supplied artwork
- Size grading and fit block: adjustable to the buyer's spec sheet
Compared With the Alternatives
| A standard 100% cotton garment without a membrane | DM01 has a PU-membrane for waterproof performance, while the standard cotton garment will absorb water |
|---|---|
| A 3-layer technical outerwear fabric | DM01 is a single-layer construction with lower weight and simpler assembly, but may have less durability under extreme abrasion |
| A fabric with lower moisture permeability | DM01 offers higher vapour permeability, reducing internal condensation during activity |
Use and Care Guide
- Wash according to care instructions to maintain DWR performance
- Reapply DWR treatment after repeated washing to restore level 5 beading
- Avoid abrasion on the carbon brushed surface to preserve softness
- Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture build-up

What is the moisture permeability of the fabric?
15,000 g/m²/24h to JIS L 1099 B-1, tested under standard conditions.
How does the DWR performance change after washing?
DWR level drops from 5 to 4 after washing; reproofing is recommended to restore performance.
Can the fabric be customised in colour?
Yes, other colourways are available on request. Provide your colour standard for confirmation.
Can we get test reports before ordering?
Yes, test reports for waterproofness and moisture permeability are available upon request. Email [email protected].
