Cotton jersey is a single-knit fabric with a smooth front and a slightly textured back. It drapes softly, stretches a little and feels comfortable all day.
It is the standard choice for t-shirts and long sleeve tops, and it gives a clean surface for printing.
What it is used for
- T-shirts and oversized tees
- Long sleeve tops
- Inner hood linings
- Babywear and soft basics
Weight makes the difference
Lighter jersey feels airy and drapes close to the body. Heavier jersey feels thicker and holds a boxier shape, which suits streetwear. We confirm the weight with you when the sample is developed.

Good to know
What is combed cotton jersey?
Combing removes short fibres before spinning, which makes the yarn smoother and the fabric softer.
Will jersey edges curl?
Single jersey can curl at raw edges, which is why hems and necklines are finished with stitching or rib.
