FAQs, Cotton Dust Coats Kenya

Are 100% cotton dust coats more expensive than poly-cotton in Kenya?

Generally yes, 100% cotton dust coats cost 5–15% more than poly-cotton blends due to higher raw material costs. However, they offer superior breathability and comfort, making them worth the premium in warm or medical environments.

Do cotton dust coats shrink after washing?

Pure cotton can shrink 3–5% after the first wash. Quality Kenyan manufacturers pre-shrink their fabric before cutting, minimizing shrinkage. Always confirm pre-shrinking with us before bulk ordering.
