Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt - Gold Polyester Dimple Mesh Jersey Fabric

In this review of the Pico Textiles 5 yard bolt, the bottom line is simple: this gold polyester dimple mesh is best for people making sports jerseys and athletic uniforms who need a breathable, durable material sold in manageable 5 yard sections. The reviewer found the fabric's honeycomb dimpled face and flat back provide noticeable airflow and a classic athletic look, while the medium weight polyester holds its shape during cutting and sewing. For small teams, independent designers, and home sewists the combination of breathability and ease of handling is the single biggest reason to buy.

Key Features

• Highly breathable: The dimpled honeycomb texture on the face promotes airflow to keep athletes cooler during intense activity.
• Made for sports apparel: The textile is well suited for creating soccer, basketball, football jerseys and gym clothes thanks to its traditional athletic mesh look.
• Durable and wrinkle resistant: Polyester construction helps the fabric maintain structural integrity and resist creasing after repeated use and washing.
• Easy to sew and clean: The medium weight and stable weave reduce handling time and simplify integration into uniform designs for home or small production sewing shops.
• Sold in practical bolts: The fabric is packaged as 5 yard sections so ordering multiple quantities yields multiple bolts ready for production or repeat orders.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at independent designers, high school and amateur team managers, cosplay makers, and sewists producing small runs of athletic wear. Its combination of breathability, medium weight and polyester durability makes it a practical choice for garments that need to stand up to activity and regular washing.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need natural fibers for next-to-skin comfort or those seeking heavyweight technical performance fabrics for extreme weather use; this is a medium weight, polyester mesh designed for standard athletic and uniform applications.
