Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt Teal Polyester Micro Mesh Jersey Fabric

In this review of the Pico Textiles 5 yards bolt teal micro mesh jersey fabric, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical choice for makers who need an affordable, breathable polyester mesh for sportswear and utility projects. The reviewer found it most compelling for creating team jerseys, practice shirts, and breathable side panels because of its open weave and small holes that allow good airflow while remaining durable enough for repeated wear and sewing. This review focuses on real-world handling, ease of sewing, and how the fabric performs after use and cleaning.

Key Features

• Highly Breathable: The open weave knit and small holes let heat and moisture escape, making garments cooler during activity.
• Durable Construction: Polyester composition maintains strength and resists wrinkling so uniforms keep their shape after washing.
• Easy to Sew: The micro mesh feeds cleanly through a standard sewing machine and holds seams well for quick production.
• Sold in Practical Lengths: Each quantity is supplied as 5 yard bolts, which simplifies ordering for small teams or single projects.
• Sublimation Friendly: The fabric accepts sublimation printing, useful for custom designs and team graphics.

Who It's For

This fabric is best for home sewers, small-team uniform makers, costume builders, and seamstresses who need a lightweight, breathable material for sports jerseys, lining masks, or breathable panels in activewear. It is particularly suited to Football, Basketball, and Soccer uniforms where ventilation and durability are priorities.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking heavy-duty mesh for industrial uses or a very heavyweight athletic mesh; a few customers noted the weight felt lighter than expected, so projects that require thick, heavyweight fabric may need a different product.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good material quality and fabric hand that many customers found soft and pleasant to work with.
• Breathability performs well in warm conditions and for side panels or linings.
• Durable and wrinkle resistant, holding up through regular washing and wear.
• Easy to sew and manage on a home machine, speeding production time.

Cons

• Weight is described as mixed by some users; it is lighter than some expect for heavy-duty sportswear.
• Sold in 5 yard sections only, which may be inconvenient if a single continuous length greater than 5 yards is required.
