This Jacquard Knit is built for brands whose Running Tops programme needs low weight with fast moisture transport without a complicated supply chain. Knitted from polyester spandex with charcoal loaded filament, it offers permanent odour adsorption built into the yarn rather than the finish, and the construction is engineered so that Breathable Mesh.

Why this construction works
Performance comes from three decisions: the yarn, the stitch and the finishing route. polyester spandex with charcoal loaded filament supplies the base behaviour, a patterned jacquard knit sets how air and moisture move, and finishing is kept deliberately light so the attributes survive washing.

Performance features
- Breathable Mesh: keeps air moving across the skin in high heat zones, measured by ISO 11092 thermal and water vapour resistance.
- Hand and comfort: permanent odour adsorption built into the yarn rather than the finish.
- Construction benefit: zoned structure and ventilation placed exactly where the pattern requires.
- 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
Specified mainly for Running Tops, and suited to any programme where low weight with fast moisture transport is written into the brief. Designers use the same base for matching styles, which keeps colour continuity simple across a collection.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
Dyeing runs on a controlled recipe with consolidated dye lots to hold shade continuity. Finishing options include wicking, antibacterial, soft touch and anti-pilling, applied after lab trials so the hand approved in sampling is the hand delivered in bulk.
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
Sampling is fast: A4 hand feel cards, laboratory dips and a 5 metre trial roll within a week. Bulk runs in 20-25 days, with inline inspection and a final random inspection before packing.
