Fabric Descriptions
This video reviews all of the different fabric bases:
This video discusses why I print some of the fabrics on the cross grain:
Athletic French Terry(grainline):
📝Athletic French Terry is smooth on the front side, with very small/fine loops on the back. This fabric is thinner and drapey and I would describe it as a french terry version of brushed jersey. 17.5 recycled plastic bottles per yard
92% REPREVE® polyester; 8% Spandex
290 gsm
58" wide
30% horizontal and 25% vertical stretch
This fabric is milled and printed in the US.
Recommended Uses: hoodies, joggers, jackets, and shorts.
Jersey Knit (grainline):
📝Jersey Knit is smooth on both sides, but not slick like Athletic Knit. It is not cool to the touch, and has good drape. It has a jersey construction, therefore less recovery and compression than an athletic knit fabric. 15.9 recycled plastic bottles per yard
92% REPREVE® polyester; 8% Spandex
205 gsm
Moisture Wicking treatment added
58" wide
50%, 4-way stretch
This fabric is milled and printed in the US.
Recommended Uses: tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, rompers, golf/tennis shirts, and underwear.
Brushed Jersey (grainline):
📝Brushed Jersey is smooth on the front side (just like the jersey knit), but is brushed on the wrong side. The brushed side gives it a warmhand. It has a jersey construction, therefore less recovery and compression than an athletic knit fabric. 17.5 recycled plastic bottles per yard
92% REPREVE® polyester; 8% Spandex
230 gsm
Moisture Wicking treatment added
58" wide
75%/50%, 4-way stretch
This fabric is milled and printed in the US.
Recommended Uses: tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, joggers, and hoodies.
Athletic Knit (AK) 265 (cross grain):
📝AK 265 is smooth on both sides, and has a cold hand. This fabric is printed on the cross grain. 16.7 recycled plastic bottles per yard
83% REPREVE® polyester; 17% Spandex
265 gsm
Moisture Wicking treatment added
58" wide
75%, 4-way stretch
UPF 50+
This fabric is milled and printed in China
Recommended Uses: Leggings, sports bras, shorts, dresses, hoodies, jackets and joggers.
Athletic Brushed Poly (cross grain):






Recommended Uses: Leggings, sports bras, shorts, dresses, hoodies, jackets and joggers. Keep in mind the ABP is brushed and can feel warm. In hot climates, I recommend AK 265 instead of ABP for work out attire. The brushing also gives it less drape. For dresses, I would stick with body con or circle skirts and not gathers.
