Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt Navy Polyester Dimple Mesh Jersey Fabric

In this review the Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt in navy is judged as a practical choice for makers who need a breathable, durable athletic mesh for team jerseys and uniforms. The bottom line: sewists and small apparel shops will appreciate a 5 yard bolt of dimple mesh jersey fabric that balances breathability with structure, making it a straightforward material for soccer, basketball, and gym apparel projects. Its honeycomb dimple front and flat back give a professional look while remaining easy to handle and launder.

Key Features

• Highly Breathable: The honeycomb dimpled texture on the front promotes airflow so athletes stay cooler during activity.
• Designed for Sports Apparel: Medium-weight polyester construction holds up to the demands of soccer, basketball, and football uniforms without feeling flimsy.
• Durable and Wrinkle Resistant: The polyester composition keeps the fabric stable over time and reduces the need for intensive care after repeated use.
• Easy to Sew and Maintain: The mesh is user-friendly for home sewing machines and is simple to clean, saving time for small production runs.
• Consistent Sizing: Each purchase is a 5 yard bolt at 60' wide so quantities are predictable for pattern layout and yardage planning.

Who It's For

The Pico Textiles bolt is best for hobby sewists, coaches ordering DIY team kits, and small businesses producing athletic wear who need a reliable mesh that breathes and resists wrinkling. Its 60' width and 5 yard sections work well when cutting multiple panels or using large pattern pieces.

Those who need lightweight fashion fabrics, high-stretch performance knits for compression wear, or specialty finishes like water repellency should look elsewhere, since this is a medium-weight, standard polyester mesh intended for uniforms and general athletic garments.
