Pico Textiles 15 Yd Bolt Charcoal Polyester Micro Mesh Jersey Fabric

In this review of the Pico Textiles 15 yards bolt in charcoal, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, budget-friendly athletic mesh for makers who need a lot of fabric that breathes. The reviewer found the open weave and small holes deliver consistent airflow and comfort, making it well suited for team jerseys, practice wear, and linings. The fabric is sold by 15 yard bolts, so it is especially useful when larger continuous yardage is required; the hands-on experience shows it is durable, easy to sew, and handles routine cleaning without losing shape.

Key Features

• Highly breathable: The open weave knit with small holes provides good airflow to keep athletes cooler in warm conditions.
• Durable construction: Polyester composition maintains strength and resists wrinkling after repeated use and washing.
• Large quantity format: Sold in 15 yard bolts so projects that need continuous yardage are easier to plan and cut.
• Easy to sew and maintain: The fabric feeds cleanly through a machine and cleans up without excessive care, cutting down production time.
• Suitable for sublimation: The mesh takes sublimation printing well enough for custom team graphics and logos.
• Comfortable feel: The material has a soft touch that works for both game-day jerseys and practice apparel.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at home sewers, small team uniform makers, and costume designers who need breathable polyester mesh in large quantities for jerseys, soccer and basketball uniforms, and gym garments. Small businesses that produce custom sports apparel will appreciate the 15 yard bolt format for batch cutting and consistent color across pieces.

Those who should look elsewhere include sewists who need heavy-duty mesh with large holes for high ventilation or users seeking natural fibers; this is a lightweight polyester micro mesh with medium/small holes rather than an open netting or heavyweight performance knit.

Pros & Cons
