recycled polyester scuba

Scuba fabric is a more fashionable version of double knit fabric. Both interlock and scuba are made from interlock circular machines. While scuba is designed to be used for fashionable clothing as well as clothing that needs to be technical but still fashionable- such as dance clothing and sportswears due to its special specifications such as high stretchability and warmth retaining property. The advantages of scuba fabrics: 1. Heat retaining. 2. High stretch. 3. Flattering to wear. 4. Suits multiple shapes and sizes. 5. Provides extra support. 6. Smooth hand feeling. 7. Water-resistant (Optional). 8. A sense of draping.

It is, in fact, a double knit fabric, like a Ponte Roma – however, it would be unfair to compare the two as they are often made from different compositions. Differs from before, now Scuba fabrics have much more different compositions. Polyester, polyester/viscose are the regular ones, besides these, they can also be polyester/nylon, polyester/modal, modal/nlyon and so on. Whilst Ponte Roma fabrics are usually from viscose and lycra. Scuba is generally used to make dance-wear, leggings and dresses (think of evening or party dresses) and is quite easy to care for.
