160GSM Single Jersey Brushed Polyester Spandex Soft Stretch
This 160GSM single jersey brushed fabric combines 92% polyester with 8% spandex to deliver a soft, fleece‑like interior and comfortable 4‑way stretch, specifically engineered for sportswear and base layers. The single side brushing process raises fine fibers on the back, creating a gentle, warm hand feel that is smooth against the skin – ideal for garments worn directly on the body. The 8% spandex content provides a comfortable stretch (over 140% elongation in both directions) with excellent recovery, so t‑shirts, leggings, and tops move with the athlete and return to shape. At 160 grams per square meter, the fabric is lightweight enough for year‑round use, yet the brushed back adds a touch of warmth for cool morning runs or air‑conditioned gyms. The 100% polyester (plus spandex) composition ensures rapid moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 22 minutes), colorfastness, and easy care. For base layer t‑shirts, training tops, leggings, and jacket linings, this soft stretch brushed jersey delivers the comfort and performance that activewear demands.

Why this brushed single jersey is the ideal choice for soft, stretchy sportswear:
Soft brushed back – The raised fibers on the interior feel like a gentle microfleece against the skin, eliminating the scratchiness of standard polyester. Perfect for base layers and long‑sleeve tops.
Comfortable 4‑way stretch – 8% spandex provides over 140% elongation and strong recovery (>88%). No sagging elbows or baggy knees after repeated wear.
160GSM lightweight versatility – Light enough for summer training, but the brushed back adds warmth for cool weather. Works as a standalone top or as a breathable lining.
Moisture wicking and quick drying – Sweat evaporates in about 22 minutes, keeping you dry during gym sessions or outdoor runs.
Breathable yet insulating – Air permeability of 120‑160 CFM prevents overheating while the brushed surface traps a layer of warm air close to the skin.
Anti‑pilling and durable – Grade 4 pilling resistance ensures the brushed surface stays smooth, even after contact with backpack straps or gym equipment.
Easy care – Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Resists shrinking, fading, and wrinkling.
Primary activewear applications for 160GSM brushed jersey:
Base layer t‑shirts and long‑sleeve tops (running, cycling, hiking)
Lightweight training hoodies and pullovers
Leggings and yoga pants (brushed interior for comfort)
Jacket and windbreaker linings (adds warmth without bulk)
Loungewear and casual tops (soft hand for all‑day wear)
Sports bras (lined with brushed fabric for comfort)
Q1: How does brushed polyester/spandex compare to cotton for base layers?
Cotton absorbs moisture and stays wet, leading to chills and discomfort. This brushed polyester/spandex wicks sweat away, dries 5‑6 times faster, and provides a soft, warm feel without the weight. It is also more durable and retains its shape better than cotton.
Q2: Is 160GSM thick enough for standalone leggings?
Yes, for moderate activity (yoga, gym training). Dark colors are fully opaque; light colors (white, pastels) may be semi‑opaque. For full opacity in light colors, we recommend 180‑200GSM. For squat‑proof confidence, dark colors are preferred.
Q3: Does the brushed back shed fibers after washing?
Minimal. The brushing is mechanically stabilized during production. Independent testing shows negligible shedding after 10 washes. To reduce initial lint, pre‑wash before garment assembly. After the first wash, shedding stops.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this brushed jersey?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 160GSM brushed single jersey. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>22N), stretch (>140%), recovery (>88%), and pilling resistance (Grade 4) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The brushed back, soft hand, and colorfastness 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 garments made from this brushed jersey?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener; it can flatten the brushed surface and reduce breathability. Iron on low (synthetic setting) with a pressing cloth if needed.
