Piqué Jersey

Piqué jersey is instantly recognizable by its subtle textured surface and breathable structure. Featuring a characteristic honeycomb or waffle-like pattern, this versatile knitted fabric combines the comfort and flexibility of jersey with a more structured, refined appearance. It has long been a favorite for polo shirts, sportswear, and smart casual garments, offering excellent comfort while maintaining its shape throughout the day. At Fabric House, you'll find carefully selected deadstock piqué jersey fabrics from premium European fashion brands and textile mills.

Why choose deadstock piqué jersey fabrics?

Choosing deadstock piqué jersey gives you access to high-quality designer fabrics while making better use of existing textile resources. These fabrics come from surplus production of luxury fashion brands and European manufacturers, offering premium quality in pristine condition.
By selecting deadstock fabrics, valuable materials remain in use instead of becoming waste. This helps reduce unnecessary textile surplus while giving designers and manufacturers access to exclusive fabrics that are often no longer available through regular collections.

Origin & characteristics

Piqué jersey is produced using a specialized knitting technique that creates its distinctive raised texture. Unlike smooth single jersey, the knitted construction forms small geometric patterns that improve airflow while adding structure and durability to the fabric.
The textured surface creates tiny air pockets that make piqué jersey particularly breathable and comfortable to wear. It typically has a medium weight with a crisp, structured drape that holds its shape well without feeling stiff. Depending on the fiber composition, piqué jersey also offers good moisture management, excellent durability, and long-lasting shape retention, making it suitable for garments that are worn and washed frequently.
