Why this construction works
Performance comes from three decisions: the yarn, the stitch and the finishing route. core-spun polyester with a cotton-like sheath supplies the base behaviour, a textured pique knit sets how air and moisture move, and finishing is kept deliberately light so the attributes survive washing.

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.

- 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.
