TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Jacquard Piqué
| Weight | 180–260 g/m² |
|---|---|
| Composition | 100% polyester; a ~95/5 elastane variant exists for patterned stretch qualities. |
| Knit type | Jacquard piqué · Piqué |
| Use class | Everyday |
| Stretch | Mechanical stretch |
| Knit | A jacquard mechanism selects needles to the pattern; colour/relief motifs are knitted directly into the piqué base. |
| Hand | A pattern over the raised piqué ground; fuller, more structured, locally denser by motif. |
| Typical use | Patterned/collection polos · club jerseys · premium uniforms |
| Strength | Knits the motif into the cloth for a print-free, structured look. |
| Watch for | Long reverse floats in multi-colour patterns can snag; slower and costlier to produce than plain piqué. |

Typical technical ranges
| Weight tolerance | ±5% (typical); ±5–7% for relief/jacquard or elastane builds |
|---|---|
| Width | Open width ~150–190 cm; tubular ~70–95 cm — depends on machine diameter/gauge and stenter/draw setting, set at finishing |
| Shrinkage (wash) | 100% PES wash shrinkage length/width ~−1% to −4% (near the low end with good heat-set); elastane piqué −3% to −6% |
| Color fastness | Wash 4–5; rubbing dry 4–5, wet/dark-brilliant shades 3–4; light 4–6 (medium/dark shades often 5+) · ISO grey scale |
| Abrasion / pilling | Martindale ~15,000–30,000+ cycles (abrasion, depends on end use/finish); pilling typically 3–4, up to 4 with anti-pill finish · ISO 12947 / ISO 12945 |
| Gauge / yarn | Standard piqué ~E18–E28 (classic polo mostly E20–E24); mini/fine piqué ~E28–E32; yarn ~75–150 denier textured filament |
