Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt - Silver Polyester Dimple Mesh Jersey

In this review of the Pico Textiles 5 yards bolt, the bottom line is simple: this polyester dimple mesh jersey is best for sewists and teams who need a cost-effective, breathable fabric for athletic uniforms. The reviewer found the fabric to be notably breathable thanks to its honeycomb dimpled face and flat back, which makes it comfortable during intense activity. Sold in 5 yard sections, it is straightforward to order the exact yardage for jerseys, shorts, or practice kits, and its medium weight and wrinkle resistance make it a practical choice for repeated use and laundering.

Key Features

• Highly breathable texture: The honeycomb dimpled front lets air pass through for cooler wear during high-energy sports and practice sessions.
• Sports-focused use: Designed for making soccer, basketball, football jerseys and gym clothing, the fabric holds up well to athletic movement.
• Durable polyester build: The polyester composition retains strength and resists wear over time, keeping uniforms serviceable season after season.
• Easy to sew and care for: The knit is user-friendly for home sewing and cleans easily, which reduces finishing time and maintenance effort.
• Sold by bolt: Each quantity equals a 5 yard bolt, simplifying ordering when multiple identical pieces are required.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at home sewists, small teams, club uniform managers, and hobbyists who need a breathable, medium-weight polyester for athletic garments. If you make custom jerseys, practice kits, or student PE uniforms, the fabric's dimpled face and flat back give a professional look without specialty equipment.

People who need lightweight fashion apparel or fabrics with natural fiber feel should look elsewhere, as this is a synthetic, medium-weight athletic mesh intended for function over couture. If you require printed patterns or stretch similar to performance knits, test a swatch first to ensure it meets specific design needs.
