OEM Dark Green Men's Scarf

This product page details the technical specifications, material properties, and manufacturing considerations for OEM dark green men's scarves intended for industrial supply chains, uniform programs, and bulk procurement. The focus is on measurable characteristics that influence performance, durability, and suitability for end-use applications.

Material Composition and Fiber Properties

The scarf is constructed from 100% combed ring-spun cotton with a yarn count of 30/1 Ne, resulting in a fabric weight of approximately 180 gsm. Combed ring-spinning removes short fibers and aligns longer staples, reducing pilling and improving surface smoothness compared to carded or open-end yarns. The dark green color is achieved through reactive dyeing, which forms covalent bonds with cellulose molecules, offering superior washfastness (ISO 105-C06 rating ≥4) and resistance to fading under prolonged light exposure (ISO 105-B02 ≥4).

Dimensional Specifications and Tolerances

Standard dimensions are 180 cm in length and 20 cm in width, with a tolerance of ±2% in both axes due to natural fiber relaxation and knitting variability. The finished edge features a 3mm double-fold hem secured with a 4-needle coverstitch, providing a flat, non-curling perimeter that resists fraying after 50+ wash cycles. These tolerances are critical for integration into uniform systems where dimensional consistency affects fit and layering under collars or outerwear.

Construction Method and Structural Integrity

The scarf is produced on a single-jersey circular knitting machine with a gauge of 24 needles per inch, creating a balanced structure that minimizes torque and prevents skewing. The fabric exhibits a course density of 30 courses per inch and wale density of 24 wales per inch, contributing to dimensional stability. Unlike woven alternatives, this knit construction allows for 15% bidirectional stretch, accommodating movement without distortion while maintaining shape recovery.

Colorfastness and Environmental Resistance

Reactive dyeing ensures the dark green hue maintains integrity under industrial laundering conditions: color change after 30 home wash cycles (AATCC 61-2013) is ≤3 on the gray scale, and staining on adjacent fabrics is ≤2. The dye system resists chlorinated bleach (50 ppm available chlorine) for up to 5 cycles without significant degradation. UV stability testing shows <5% ΔE after 20 hours of Xenon arc exposure (AATCC TM16-3), making it suitable for outdoor wear applications.

Quality Control and Inspection Protocol

Each production lot undergoes 4-point fabric inspection per ASTM D5430, with defect points assigned based on size and length: holes (>3mm) = 4 points, runs (>150mm) = 4 points, stains (>50mm) = 3 points. Acceptance threshold is ≤40 points per 100 square yards. Final inspection includes dimensional verification, shade matching against Pantone 19-0509 TCX (Dark Green), and hem integrity checks under 2x magnification. AQL levels are set at 2.5% for major defects and 4.0% for minor defects.

Packaging and Logistics Considerations

Scarves are folded to 10cm × 15cm × 2cm and packed in polybags of 25 units, then placed in export cartons measuring 40cm × 30cm × 25cm (500 units/carton). Each carton is labeled with barcode, PO number, size, color code, and country of origin. Inner layers include acid-free tissue to prevent dye transfer, and outer cartons meet ISTA 1A standards for vibration and drop resistance. Humidity indicators are included to monitor moisture levels during transit, critical for preventing mildew in tropical climates.

Customization Options for OEM Partners

Beyond the standard dark green shade, custom color matching is available via Pantone, RAL, or physical sample submission, with lab-dip approval required before bulk production. Length and width can be adjusted in 5cm increments (minimum 150cm length, 15cm width) subject to yarn consumption and loom constraints. Private labeling options include woven labels (100% polyester, 50mm width) sewn into the hem or heat-transfer prints on the corner, both tested for 30-wash durability. Minimum order quantities start at 300 units per colorway.

Technical data presented represents typical values derived from controlled testing. Actual performance may vary based on specific dye lots, environmental conditions, and end-use factors. Custom specifications require formal quotation and sample approval.
