Developed for Tennis and Golf Wear, this Ponte Roma Knit answers the most common brief we receive: sun protection with a clean, structured appearance. The yarn package is polyester spandex with charcoal loaded filament, chosen because it provides permanent odour adsorption built into the yarn rather than the finish, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Compression.

Why this construction works
Because a firm ponte roma double knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: a clean, structured surface with enough hold for tailored athleisure. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

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.
