Pico Textiles Royal Blue Polyester Micro Mesh Jersey Fabric - 5 Yd

In this review of the Pico Textiles 5 yards bolt in royal blue the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, budget-friendly athletic mesh for anyone sewing sports jerseys or breathable panels. The reviewer found it especially useful for soccer and basketball uniforms because of its open weave and small holes that let air flow while keeping the knit stable. Designed as a 100% polyester micro mesh and sold in 5 yard sections, this fabric stands out for its combination of breathability and ease of use, making it a sensible choice for home sewers, teams, and costume makers alike.

Key Features

• Highly Breathable: The open weave knit and small holes allow strong airflow, helping athletes stay cooler in warm conditions.
• Made for Jerseys: The fabric is tailored for sports apparel and uniforms such as football, basketball and soccer, so it handles common athletic construction needs.
• Durable & Wrinkle Resistant: Polyester construction maintains strength and structural integrity over repeated wear and washing.
• Easy to Sew and Maintain: The micro mesh is straightforward to stitch and cleans easily, saving time during production or repair work.
• Sold by 5 Yard Bolts: Each quantity equals a 5 yd bolt, so ordering multiple quantities ships as separate bolts for consistent yardage handling.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewists, team kit managers, and small-batch uniform makers who need an affordable, breathable polyester mesh suitable for athletic garments and lining masks. Its compatibility with sublimation printing and straightforward sewing make it a practical pick for customization and number/graphics application.

Those who want a very heavy-duty mesh or a natural fiber alternative should look elsewhere; this is a lightweight to midweight polyester micro mesh and not a replacement for heavy canvas, woven twill, or cotton-based fabrics used in non-athletic garments.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good breathability and small hole pattern ideal for activewear panels.
• Durable polyester build that resists wrinkles and maintains shape.
• Easy to sew and clean, with positive feedback on fabric quality and softness.

Cons

• Weight is mixed in customer comments; it may be lighter than some expect for heavy-duty applications.
