A production-ready Double Knit for Cycling Jerseys, specified around aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface. Composition is 78% GRS recycled nylon / 22% spandex, which delivers virgin nylon performance with a documented recycled content claim. Every lot is finished and tested so that Compression is measurable rather than claimed.

Why this construction works
Because a stable double-knit construction is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: body and firmness without any need for lining. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
Used for Cycling Jerseys and for the accessories around them. aerodynamic fit with a stable print surface is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control

Frequently asked questions
Can we get recycled content with this construction? In most cases yes. GRS certified recycled nylon or polyester can replace the virgin yarn with full chain of custody documents, usually with no visible change in hand or performance.
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.
