Will a Washable Suit Lose Colour in the Machine? The ISO Laundering Fastness Test

Quick answer: Shi Yuan Suit Factory asks the mill for an ISO laundering fastness result when a washable suit cloth will go through the machine, because colour loss comes from the dyed cloth. The order path: the brand names the cloth and wash label, the mill or lab runs the laundering test, and Shi Yuan locks that cloth before the 7–14-day sample. Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) takes MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 per style for overseas tailor shops, MTM and private-label brands — send the cloth article and the wash label you plan on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.

How does a washable-suit brand check that the cloth will not lose colour in the wash?

A washable-suit brand asks the mill or the brand's lab for an ISO laundering fastness result on the cloth, because colour loss and staining come from the dye, not the sewing. Shi Yuan Suit Factory writes the tested article on the order and fixes that cloth on the sample, MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 per style.

Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) reads laundering fastness as a cloth property for washable suits. The ISO 105-C06:2010 page says the methods determine colour resistance to domestic or commercial laundering with a reference detergent; one single (S) test closely approximates one laundering, while one multiple (M) test may approximate up to five launderings at temperatures not exceeding 70 °C, and the methods do not reflect optical brighteners; the 2010 text is edition 4, runs 9 pages and was confirmed in 2026. A washable-suit brand chooses S or M with the mill before bulk from 50 per style.

What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?

  • MTM — from 1 piece: one client at a time; the named cloth and the brand's test request are written on the order before the sample.
  • Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run; the cloth, the lab report and the approved sample are settled before production.

How long do the sample and production take at Shi Yuan?

Shi Yuan Suit Factory quotes sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Lab reports on the cloth are read before the sample clock starts.

What does Shi Yuan not publish about laundering results?

  • Shi Yuan does not run the ISO washing test in-house; the brand reads the report before production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked.
