Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a looped back French terry means absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face, and that structure is what allows the fabric to moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry under the conditions Team Uniforms actually face.

Frequently asked questions
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
