Description
23HD-SH004 is a snow velvet upholstery fabric on a 230gsm pile face with a 50gsm pongee reverse, recorded at a 280gsm total on a 150cm width. Snow velvet is the mill's own family name for this velvet, and the face carries a fine even pile that reads soft without the deep loft of a plush. The light pongee backing keeps the cloth thin and flexible, so it follows a curved frame and turns a narrow seam cleanly. At 280gsm it is a light-to-mid upholstery weight: strong enough for accent chairs, dining seats, bedroom benches, and breakfast nook seating, and easy to cut and stitch for smaller pieces. If you need a heavier hand for a full sofa body, ask for a sample of this alongside one of the fleece-backed qualities. Confirm usable width, composition, and performance requirements on a physical sample.
Why source 23HD-SH004
- A 50gsm pongee reverse keeps the cloth thin and flexible, so it follows curved chair frames and turns narrow seams cleanly.
- At 280gsm it is a light-to-mid upholstery weight, which suits accent chairs, dining seats, and benches better than a heavy body cloth.
- A fine even pile reads soft at close range without the loft that traps dust on deeper plush.
- Accent chairs, dining seats, bedroom benches, and breakfast nook seating all fall inside a light velvet's working range.

Fit and Confirmation Boundary
The face weight, total weight, and width agree across all five records, and the two backing figures differ by 5gsm: 230+50=280 checks out exactly, while 230+45 gives 275. The 50gsm figure is used here. The 2.90 m/kg in the master table is calculated from the face weight alone on the quoted width, so it describes how many metres of face fabric come out of a kilo rather than the finished yield of the composite; the finished figure will be lower and should be measured, not assumed. No finishing step is recorded for this model, and the tag note "PRT" is an order reference rather than a process. Abrasion, colorfastness, and fiber composition are not recorded. Confirm all open points on a physical sample and through quotation.
