Jersey

Jersey fabric has become a cornerstone in menswear, revolutionizing how comfort and style intersect in men’s fashion. Originating from the medieval Island of Jersey, this fabric has transcended its humble beginnings. Its unique knit construction offers a stretchable quality that ensures ease of movement and an adaptive fit, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of menswear items.

Jersey fabric is a single-knit cotton fabric which contains elastane making it soft and stretchy for menswear. Jersey fabric has a flat side and a piled side so it feels very soft against the skin. The knitting process loops the fibres together rather than weaving to provide a degree of stretch. This stretch is then often enhanced with some elastane.

In menswear, jersey fabric shines as a material of choice for casual wear t-shirts and sweats. Its soft texture and breathable nature provide unparalleled comfort, making it perfect for everyday menswear. Designers often leverage jersey’s versatility to create pieces that blend casual ease with a touch of sophistication, such as polo shirts and Henley tops. Beyond casual wear, jersey fabric has also made its mark in activewear, thanks to its moisture-wicking properties and flexibility, which support a wide range of motion, essential for athletic performance.
