Pico Textiles 20 Yd Bolt Dark Charcoal Micro Mesh Jersey - Durable

In this review of the Pico Textiles 20 Yards Bolt in Dark Charcoal, the bottom line is simple: this is a workhorse athletic mesh for makers who need a breathable, durable fabric in bulk. Reviewers looking to sew soccer, basketball or football jerseys will appreciate that the material balances open-weave airflow with a fine micro mesh appearance, and each purchase is a full 20 yard bolt which keeps project runs consistent. The fabric is also easy to handle and clean, which cuts prep time for team kits and repeated use garments.

Key Features

• Highly Breathable: The open weave knit and small holes allow strong airflow to keep athletes cooler during intense activity.
• Durable & Wrinkle Resistant: Polyester construction holds structural integrity over time, resisting sag and creasing in regular use.
• Easy to Sew and Clean: The micro mesh feeds well under a standard sewing machine and washes without losing shape, saving time in manufacturing.
• Sold by Bolt: Each quantity equals a 20 yard bolt, giving uniform yardage for team orders or repeat projects.
• Sublimation Friendly: The polyester surface works well for sublimation printing, enabling custom team graphics and logos.

Who It's For

The Pico Textiles micro mesh is best for small businesses, team managers, costume makers and experienced hobby sewists who need a breathable, athletic-grade fabric in generous lengths. It suits anyone producing uniforms, practice gear, or side-panel inserts where ventilation and durability matter.

It may be less appropriate for projects that require heavy insulation, a soft drape fashion knit, or natural fiber content; those seeking cotton or wool blends should look elsewhere. Beginner sewists who need a very stable, non-sheer fabric for first-time garments may also prefer a denser knit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fabric quality and durability for repeated wear and washing.
• Excellent breathability for sports applications and side panels.

Cons
