Fabric grades are used by almost all manufacturers that have a fabric component in their products. While these grade differences can represent different levels of quality, they are more commonly related to the complexity of the fabric (patterns can cost more than solids) or its availability. Intricate weaves, multi-color patterns, and textured finishes take more time and material to produce, which raises the cost of the fabric itself. Specialty or limited-run fabrics may also be priced higher because they're made in smaller quantities or come from fewer mills. Each manufacturer also sets its own grading system, so a Grade A fabric from one brand isn't necessarily the same as a Grade A fabric from another. If you have questions about a specific fabric's grade, our customer care team is happy to help you compare options.
