Developed for Team Uniforms, this Interlock Knit answers the most common brief we receive: durability, colour consistency and easy care. The yarn package is polyester spandex with graphene modified filament, chosen because it provides thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Antibacterial Anti-Odor.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a double-bed interlock knit means identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension, and that structure is what allows the fabric to stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour under the conditions Team Uniforms actually face.

Performance features
- Antibacterial Anti-Odor: stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour, measured by ISO 20743 antibacterial test.
- Hand and comfort: thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself.
- Construction benefit: identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension.
- 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

Frequently asked questions
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
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.
