Selection Guide
For high-visibility workwear, compare HM095 TC, HM038 four-way stretch, HM066 Oxford and HM039 softshell against the garment brief. Then check composition, mass, fluorescent colour, finishing and the relevant documents. Open each product page for sample and sourcing details.

For a woven uniform, start with HM095. If freedom of movement is central to the brief, compare HM038. For a rain shell or a backed softshell, review HM066 or HM039 with the full construction. These are sampling routes, not interchangeable fabrics or a performance ranking.
| Huamao reference | Catalog composition / specification | Label weight / colour | Check on the sample |
|---|---|---|---|
| HM095 · TC | 68%P / 32%C 150D*10SCVC | 245G · HV YELLOW | Handle, weave, wash route and colour evidence for the proposed uniform. |
| HM038 · four-way stretch | 92%P / 8%SP 75D+40D*(320D+70D) | 295G · HV YELLOW | Stretch direction, recovery and dimensional change after the specified washing. |
| HM066 · Oxford | 100%P 75D*75D | 310G · YELLOW | Full coated/laminated assembly and colour test. The yellow label alone is insufficient. |
| HM039 · softshell | 92%P / 8%SP 100D+40D*100D+40D | 320G · HV ORANGE | Backing, stretch, seam construction and rain-protection evidence for the jacket. |
P, C and SP are the catalog abbreviations for polyester, cotton and elastane. GSM means grams per square metre (g/m²); the table retains the cards’ G notation. Specify the finished-fabric target weight, agreed tolerance and test conditions in the order. Photos show sample identity and appearance, not a colour measurement or certificate. Any standard or finish printed on a card needs the matching report and specimen.
A vest, jacket, trouser, parka and coverall do not use fabric in the same way. A buyer should first describe whether the wearer needs bending, kneeling, climbing, rain exposure, abrasion resistance or repeat industrial washing. That garment context decides whether a woven TC fabric, a weft-stretch route or a more elastic synthetic route should be reviewed first.
A practical first round can include one TC option, one stretch option and one coated or laminated option if weather protection is relevant. This avoids locking the project into one yellow fabric too early and gives purchasing, technical and garment teams a shared comparison table.
A fluorescent fabric sample can support selection, but high visibility clothing performance depends on garment design, material area, reflective placement and final testing. Ask suppliers to state whether their documents support fabric color, finishing, material safety, audit review or finished garment certification.
Start with a real product code, then add the requirements of your garment. A sample-card weight or colour name alone does not define an order specification.
| Specification field | Use this in the request |
|---|---|
| Product and garment | Compare HM095 (TC, 68% polyester / 32% cotton, 245G) with HM038 (four-way stretch, 92% polyester / 8% elastane, 295G) for the intended garment. |
| Finished weight | State the target g/m², agreed tolerance and measurement conditions. Keep the sample-card reference separate from the order acceptance value. |
| Colour | Both cards say HV YELLOW. Provide the required shade and colour-testing conditions; the label is not a measured colour result. |
| Stretch and finish | For HM038, confirm stretch direction and recovery on the sample. For either route, specify the required finish and review its effect on handle. |
| Washing and documents | State the care procedure, cycles and required after-wash checks. Match any report to the proposed material, colour and test conditions; finished-garment conformity needs its own review. |
| Quotation basis | Provide quantity, destination and timing. Ask us to confirm usable width, MOQ, lead time and available documents for the selected construction. |
Example sample brief to adapt: “Please compare HM095 and HM038 for our [garment], in [required shade], for [destination]. Our target quantity is [quantity]. Please confirm finished weight and tolerance, usable width, washing requirements and the documents available for these samples.”
Product-linked evidence
Use the product codes below as current catalog starting points, then confirm the physical swatch, lot, construction, GSM, color, finish and report scope. A product code or fabric-side record does not establish finished-garment conformity.
