Polyester is not one fabric. It is a fibre that can be engineered into many constructions, from lightweight T-shirts to structured jackets.
Why This Topic Matters
Buyers often ask for 'polyester fabric' as if it were a single product. In reality, the right construction depends on the garment.
What Buyers Should Know
Single jersey, interlock, piqué, mesh, fleece, twill, satin and many other structures can all use polyester yarn. The performance comes from the combination of fibre, yarn, construction, GSM and finish.
