Product Title

100% Polyester Double Face Pique Knit 240GSM For Sportswear Polo

1. Introductory Paragraph (Fully Around Title Selling Points)

This 240GSM double face pique knit is made from 100% polyester and specifically engineered for sportswear polo shirts that demand a structured, premium look with the comfort of a reversible, breathable fabric. The double face pique construction means both sides feature a textured honeycomb surface – no distinct right or wrong side – allowing the fabric to be used interchangeably for collars, plackets, and main panels. At 240 grams per square meter, the fabric provides mid‑weight substance: heavy enough to hold a crisp collar shape and resist wrinkling, yet breathable enough for warm‑weather wear. The 100% polyester composition ensures rapid moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 25 minutes), excellent colorfastness, and easy care. For golf polos, team shirts, and performance casual wear, this double face pique delivers the perfect balance of structure, breathability, and reversible versatility.

3. Bullet Point List – Key Advantages & Sportswear Polo Applications

Why this double face pique is the ideal choice for sportswear polo shirts:

• Double face pique – two usable sides – Both sides have the same honeycomb texture. Perfect for polo collars, cuffs, and plackets where both faces are visible. No wrong side means easier garment assembly.

• 240GSM structured mid‑weight – Heavy enough to create crisp, professional polo collars that hold their shape. Resists wrinkling and curling, even after multiple washes.

• Breathable yet wind‑resistant – Air permeability of 120‑160 CFM keeps the wearer cool on warm days while blocking light breezes. Ideal for golf and outdoor team sports.

• Quick drying (25 minutes from soaked) – Sweat evaporates rapidly. Polos stay fresh and dry through long matches or practice sessions.

• Moisture wicking and non‑absorbent – Polyester fibers pull sweat away from the skin. No heavy, damp fabric clinging to the body.

• Durable and pill‑free – Grade 4 pilling resistance and tear strength >42N ensure polos look sharp season after season.

• Easy care – Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. No ironing required – the pique texture naturally resists wrinkles.

• Performance golf polos and tennis shirts

• Team sport polos (soccer, baseball, cricket)

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Product‑Specific)

Q1: What makes double face pique different from regular pique?
Regular pique has a textured face and a smooth, flat back. Double face pique is knitted so that both sides have the same honeycomb texture. This is especially useful for polo shirt collars, plackets, and hem bands where both surfaces are visible. It also eliminates the need to track “right side” during garment assembly.

Q2: Is 240GSM too heavy for summer polo shirts?
240GSM is considered mid‑weight. For summer golf or team polos, it provides excellent structure and opacity while remaining breathable (120‑160 CFM). Many premium polo brands use 220‑250GSM for year‑round performance. For extreme heat (35°C+), we offer a 190‑200GSM double face pique upon request.

Q3: Does the double face construction affect printing or embroidery?
No. The surface is stable and accepts screen printing, embroidery, and heat transfer very well. Because both sides are textured, you can print on either side. For sublimation printing, we recommend using the white version for full‑color designs.

Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this double face pique?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 240GSM double face pique knit. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>42N), pilling resistance (Grade 4), and air permeability (120‑160 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The double face texture and quick‑dry performance are identical. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for this fabric?
For stock colors, lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom Pantone colors, add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service may be available for orders ≥2000 meters – please inquire.

Q6: How do I care for polo shirts made from this double face pique?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce moisture wicking. Iron on low (synthetic setting) if needed – the fabric is naturally wrinkle‑resistant. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its pique texture and performance for over 50 washes.
