CARMEL, Ind. (OCTOBER 26, 2026) – TVF Inc., a 100% employee-owned partner in textile solutions, has launched three versatile fabrics with a broad range of end-uses. TVF Tech Shield, a 6.2 oz. 100% Polyester Jersey 2-Way Stretch with Cast Urethane, represents a leap forward in TVF’s vast array of technical fabric offerings. Zuma, an 8.3 oz. 100% Cotton Slub Canvas, features slub yarns running in warp and weft directions for an exceptional linen-like look. Cascades, an 8.8 oz. 100% Textured Polyester Canvas, features a cotton-like hand, is finished with a durable water repellent, and is printable with dye-sublimation inks.
“These three new fabrics serve their own specific applications, and the unifying factor among them is the distinctive market demand each answers,” says TVF Sourcing Manager Jamie Sullivan. “Technical, apparel, home décor, and medical markets shift rapidly, and TVF Tech Shield, Zuma, and Cascades exemplify one of TVF’s greatest strengths: listening and responding to the specific needs of the industry. You’ll find all three fabrics to be high-quality, consistent, and versatile – delivering on the trust we’ve earned with manufacturers for more than 50 years.”
Additional details on the new additions to TVF’s extensive textile product line include:
- 6.2 oz. 100% Polyester TVF Tech Shield Jersey with Cast Urethane
TVF Tech Shield represents a technical textile innovation not yet offered by TVF. It features a smooth cast urethane face that is inherently waterproof, soil resistant, and easy-to-clean. With two-way stretch and the ability to customize the colors on the face and the back, this technical fabric serves a seemingly endless array of industries, including medical, tactical, apparel, industrial, and pet products. - 8.3 oz. 100% Cotton Zuma Slub Canvas with Linen-Like Look
Zuma is made of 100% ring spun cotton and woven using a slub yarn, giving it a linen-like look with the benefit of fewer wrinkles. This midweight fabric is preshrunk and engineered for digital pigment printing. Potential end-uses include: bags, pillows, curtains, table linens and tablecloths, jackets, bottom weight apparel, and more. - 8.8 oz.100% Textured Polyester Cascades Canvas with DWR
The textured polyester yarns of Cascades are the secret behind its cotton-soft hand. Cascades also features an optic white face designed for superb printability. Prepared for print and finished with a durable water repellent (DWR), Cascades is compatible with dye-sublimation (dye-sub) inks. Applications include: bags, pillows, upholstery, table linens, draperies, heavyweight apparel, and industrial uses.
In addition to these three new fabrics, TVF offers hundreds of fabric options, textile experts with real-world knowledge, and a nationwide storage and logistics footprint that manufacturers rely on.
