By keeping stock of established military fabrics, Carrington Textiles enables customers to order shorter runs, respond to urgent requirements and prototype new products without long lead times or large minimum order quantities. The approach allows faster turnaround while maintaining the same performance and durability trusted by global defence users.

The initial range includes five key fabrics designed for uniforms, load carriage and tactical applications. Envoy, a lightweight 64gsm recycled polyamide, provides a sustainable option for technical outerwear. Spartan HT Flex Lite at 195gsm combines nylon, cotton and LYCRA® for resilience with stretch comfort. Spartan HT, a 210gsm nylon-cotton blend, delivers balanced durability and wearability. For coated solutions, Tornado PUFC at 250gsm and Hurricane PUFC at 370gsm bring robust 100% nylon constructions with polyurethane finishes for enhanced protection.

Available in Ranger Green, Coyote Brown, Wolf Grey, Black and Carrington Textiles’ ENIGMA camouflage pattern, the Defence Stock Range ensures consistent colour availability to meet the varied demands of military textile customers worldwide.

Paul Farrell, Sales Director at Carrington Textiles, said: “With this stock programme we’re giving customers the flexibility they’ve been asking for. It’s about supplying trusted defence fabrics in smaller quantities, quickly and reliably, to help them meet the needs of their own clients.”
