How to choose

Four questions that pick your fabric

01

Where will it be worn?

Indoor courts need airflow (pro mesh); cold rinks and fields need heavier knits or fleece.

02

How much contact?

Contact sports like rugby and hockey need dense, tear-resistant knits.

03

How will it be decorated?

Sublimation needs light polyester; cotton suits screen printing and DTF.

04

How should it fit?

Stretch fabrics for compression and volleyball; stable knits for classic jerseys.
