Developed for Sports Bras, this Jacquard Knit answers the most common brief we receive: controlled support and soft contact at the underband. The yarn package is nylon 66 filament with high tenacity spandex, chosen because it provides higher melt point and better abrasion resistance for demanding uses, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Breathable Mesh.

Why this construction works
Because a patterned jacquard knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: zoned structure and ventilation placed exactly where the pattern requires. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

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: higher melt point and better abrasion resistance for demanding uses.
- 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
Used for Sports Bras and for the accessories around them. controlled support and soft contact at the underband 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
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
