23HD-TD004 is a curly lamb velvet on a 220gsm pile face with a 70gsm pongee reverse, recorded at a 290gsm total. The face carries a small tight curl that gives a lamb-like texture rather than a straight velvet pile, so it reads textured and matte instead of glossy. The pongee reverse is the heavier of the three backings used on this face, which gives the cloth a little more body without turning it into a thick composite. At 290gsm it is a light-to-mid weight, best suited to pieces where the textured face carries the design: bedroom stools, hall benches, console seats, and cushion covers. It sews and wraps cleanly on small radii, and it is light enough to fold and pipe without fighting the pile. Confirm usable width, pile height, and composition on a physical sample.
Why source 23HD-TD004
- A small tight curl reads as lamb-like texture rather than a straight pile, so pieces look textured instead of glossy.
- The 70gsm pongee reverse is the heaviest of the backings used on this face, adding body while keeping the cloth foldable.
- At 290gsm it suits pieces where the textured surface carries the design, such as stools, benches, and cushions.
- Small radii and piped edges are workable because the pongee reverse stays supple.

Fit and Confirmation Boundary
The face weight, backing, and total weight are identical in both records, and 220+70=290 checks out exactly, so the construction is reliable. What is missing: usable width, yield, and any finishing step, none of which appear in any file. Because width is not recorded, this listing makes no width claim and the Shopify width field should stay unset until the quotation confirms it. Pile height is also unrecorded, and on a curl fabric pile height is the first figure a buyer asks for, so it needs measuring on a sample. The tag note "BRA" is an order reference rather than a process. Abrasion, colorfastness, and fiber composition are not recorded. The pile imitates lamb, so any listing, sample card, or label for this quality carries the word Faux.
Common Questions
How does this differ from 23HD-TD007?
Both use the same 220gsm curl face. TD004 carries a 70gsm pongee reverse at 290gsm total; TD007 carries a 60gsm reverse at 280gsm. TD005 sits below both with a 50gsm reverse at 270gsm.
Is 290gsm heavy enough for seating?
It suits stools, benches, and console seats well. For a deep seat cushion under daily load, compare it against a fleece-backed quality at a higher total weight.
