Pique vs Jersey Polo Fabric

A textile comparison of cellular pique weaves versus smooth jersey knits for men polo shirts.

The Technical Differences

Jersey is a flat, single-knit fabric commonly used in t-shirts. It has a smooth surface and good stretch, but can cling to perspiration and lose its collar shape easily.

Pique and Airtex weaves use a specialized geometric knitting method that creates raised textures and open micro-cells. This structure allows air to circulate between the fabric and skin, keeping the shirt breathable in warm climates.

Why We Use 220 GSM Airtex

PRINTMONEY Riviera Polos utilize a 220 GSM 100% combed cotton Airtex cell weave. It combines the softness of combed yarn with the dimensional stability of pique, ensuring the shirt holds its shape throughout the day.
