TR 65/35 Polyester Viscose Fabric — Specifications and Supplier Guide
If you are sourcing fabric for uniforms, suits, or professional workwear, you have likely come across TR 65/35. This is a polyester-viscose blend — 65% polyester, 35% viscose — widely used in the garment industry for its balance of durability, comfort, and cost.
We manufacture this fabric at our factory in Hebei, China. This guide covers the key specifications, common applications, and what to expect when ordering from a supplier.
What Is TR 65/35 Fabric?
TR stands for Terylene (polyester) and Rayon (viscose). The 65/35 ratio is the industry standard for suiting and uniform fabrics. The polyester provides tensile strength, wrinkle recovery, and wash durability. The viscose adds moisture absorption, breathability, and a soft hand feel that mimics natural fibers.
The result is a fabric that looks and drapes like wool but costs significantly less and holds up better to industrial laundering.

Why Choose TR 65/35 Over Other Blends?
| Blend | Best For | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| TR 65/35 | Suits, trousers, blazers | Standard durability and comfort |
| TC 65/35 (polyester-cotton) | Shirts, light workwear | More breathable, less drape |
| TR 80/20 | Budget uniforms | Less viscose = less softness |
| 100% Polyester | Outdoor/industrial | Less comfortable for all-day wear |
| TRS (with spandex) | Slim-fit uniforms | Adds 20–35% stretch |
TR 65/35 sits in the sweet spot: professional appearance, good durability for daily wear, and cost-effective for bulk procurement.
