Our stocked fabrics, listed by fiber content, weight and the jobs each one suits best.
Gsm is the figure to watch, and it measures a compromise rather than quality. Lighter cloth breathes better and plays cooler; heavier cloth stands up to more abrasion and keeps its shape for longer. A 135gsm soccer jersey and a 320gsm rugby jersey are each right for their own game and each wrong for the other.
All of it is held in stock, with no minimum order on any fabric. Give us the sport, the climate and the lifespan you expect from the uniforms, and we will make a recommendation so you are not left guessing.
Eight fabrics that handle most of our production, each linked to the sports it is suited to.

Three answers settle most fabric choices: the sport, the climate it is played in, and how long the uniforms need to last. Start from the garment's job, then match the cloth to it.
Think about laundry too. Polyester holds its dimensions, while cotton-rich blends can change by two to three percent on the first hot wash, which our patterns allow for. Washing cold and hanging to dry avoids the problem with both.
Taken from the specifications of a core garment in each sport, lightest first. Each garment links to its full product page.

Custom knitting or dyeing to your specification is possible and adds about two weeks to sampling. Send a swatch or a written spec, and you will know the cost before committing to anything.
Most of the jersey range also comes in recycled polyester. It performs the same as virgin polyester at a modest premium, and we quote both side by side so you can judge the difference yourself.
Some methods only suit some fabrics. Dye sublimation requires at least 80% polyester, which rules out our cotton-rich jersey, while screen print and DTF both work on it. Compare decoration methods against each fabric.
