For the production of children’s clothing, 95% cotton + 5% lycra jersey fabric is the most commonly used fabric type — and with good reason. The combination provides the soft, skin-friendly surface that parents expect, combined with the crosswise elasticity and shape retention that make production easier. At Jydsk Stoflager, jersey fabric<\/a> is available in two primary weight classes for children’s clothing: 200 g\/m\u00b2 and 220 g\/m\u00b2 — both made of 95% cotton + 5% lycra and certified according to GOTS or Oeko-Tex 100.<\/p>\n

What Does the Weight Difference Mean in Practice?<\/h2>\n

200 g\/m\u00b2 and 220 g\/m\u00b2 may sound close, but the difference is noticeable in production. The 200 g\/m\u00b2 variant is 150 cm wide and suitable for thinner styles such as T-shirts, bodysuits, and leggings for the smallest sizes. The fabric is lighter, cuts neatly, and does not require extra allowances to drape well against the body.<\/p>\n

The 220 g\/m\u00b2 variant is 160 cm wide and offers more substance — suitable for light sweatshirts, jogging pants, and tops for older children where durability matters more. The extra width reduces waste when cutting larger pattern pieces and improves utilization per running meter.<\/p>\n

Both variants have a single jersey knit construction with good crosswise elasticity. This means easy assembly on overlock machines, good fit without excessive seam tension, and a final product that retains its shape after repeated washing — something buyers for children’s clothing brands should require from their suppliers.<\/p>\n

GOTS and Oeko-Tex 100 — What Does the Market Demand?<\/h2>\n

The majority of Jydsk Stoflager’s digital print jersey fabrics are GOTS certified. This certification is increasingly demanded by Danish and Scandinavian retail chains when they set requirements for their children’s clothing suppliers. If you have customers selling in the mid to high segment, GOTS documentation is often a commercial requirement — not just an advantage.<\/p>\n

Other fabrics carry Oeko-Tex 100 certification, which ensures the fabric has been tested free of harmful substances. For children’s clothing, this is the minimum requirement in most European markets. The difference between the two certifications is important to communicate correctly to your customers:<\/p>\n
