Jersey fabrics

Jersey fabrics

Jersey fabrics are among the most practical and versatile materials. Cotton jersey, composed of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, or jersey with added polyester, are the most popular types. The major application of jersey is clothing, as it offers great possibilities of dyeing and application of even intricate designs.

Jersey is mostly used in classic t-shirts and long sleeves. In such a case, depending on the customer, jersey is produced with the addition of polyester, which significantly improves the strength of the finished clothing item while also reducing the production cost.

Classic cotton jersey is ideally suited for underwear items (sleeveless shirts, briefs), bedclothes, bedsheets (including bedspreads) as well as all items of clothing and accessories for children from day one. Elastane content may be increased to obtain better elasticity of a given fabric and better comfort of wearing clothes close to the skin, especially in underwear.

Due to the simple and natural content and attractive designs available, cotton jersey is very often used at home in DIY projects.
