Softshell

Softshell fabrics combine water resistance, windproofing, and stretch, making them ideal for makers producing outdoor and activewear garments. These textiles offer comfort and protection without the bulk of traditional waterproof materials, supporting bulk and repeat purchasing with consistent quality. Small businesses and skilled home sewers benefit from softshell’s flexibility and durability, enabling creation of stylish, functional coats, jackets, and pants. Softshell’s breathable properties help regulate temperature during activity, while its smooth surface resists abrasion and water. This balance of performance and wearability appeals to customers seeking handmade outerwear that can withstand variable weather conditions while remaining comfortable. With a variety of weights and finishes, softshell fabrics provide makers the material needed to create high-value, durable products for outdoor enthusiasts and casual wearers alike.
