Polyester Single Jersey
Single jersey120–200 g/m²
- In this application
- The carrier of daily underwear: light, even face, wide weight window.
- Composition
- 100% polyester (PES); combed/ring yarn by quality, recycled (rPET) version available.
Application
Underwear and Loungewear Fabrics
Underwear fabric lives on the skin: it must feel soft, present a smooth face and hold its shape through washing.
- Weight window80–360 g/m²
- CertificatesOEKO-TEX® · ISO
- IncotermsEXW · FOB · DAP
Hand feel is set by filament fineness: microfilament polyester (low dpf) packs more, finer fibres into the same weight — the surface gets softer and coverage improves. Interlock rib gives a smooth double face on the skin side; mesh structures keep airflow open in sports underwear.
On the loungewear side, brushed two-thread fleece raises the inner face into a comfort layer. The six structures below span daily intimates to home comfort; each card carries its rationale and a technical data sheet link.
Recommended fabrics
Interlock (smooth double-knit)
Interlock (smooth double-knit)180–300 g/m²
- In this application
- Smooth double face on the skin side; non-curling edge, clean seam ground.
- Composition
- 100% polyester (common); elastane-free — stretch comes from the structure.
Microfiber Polyester Knit
Microfiber polyester knit85–180 g/m²
- In this application
- Microfibre hand: peach-skin texture and high coverage from low dpf.
- Composition
- 100% polyester microfiber — filament fineness below 1 denier (microdenier, ~0.5 dpf); far finer than standard PES (1.5–4 dpf).
Polyester Single Jersey with Elastane
Single jersey + elastane160–250 g/m²
- In this application
- Body-following intimates and bodysuits: balanced stretch and recovery.
- Composition
- ~92–95% polyester / 5–8% elastane (spandex); commonly 95/5 and 92/8.
Breathable Micro Mesh (lining)
Breathable micro mesh (lining)80–130 g/m²
- In this application
- Sports underwear and linings: invisible lightness in the 80–130 g/m² window.
- Composition
- 100% polyester or, for light stretch, ~90–95% PES / 5–10% elastane; mostly microfilament polyester.
Brushed (Fleece-Backed) Polyester French Terry
Brushed-back French terry240–360 g/m²
- In this application
- Loungewear: brushed inner face, soft and warm home comfort.
- Composition
- 100% polyester; the thick loop yarn on the reverse is brushed/napped. Cotton-PES brushed terry is also common.

Frequently asked questions
What difference does microfibre make in underwear?
Roughly 1 denier per filament and below counts as microfibre. More, finer fibres in the same weight mean a softer surface and better coverage; micro polyester works in this window.
Does polyester breathe in underwear?
Breathability depends more on knit architecture than on the fibre: mesh and porous structures open airflow, and a wicking finish spreads sweat across the surface. The dry feel on the skin comes from those two layers.
Which fabric suits loungewear?
Brushed two-thread fleece (240–360 g/m²) carries loungewear with its balance of softness and warmth; for a lighter feel, the unbrushed two-thread window is the step down.
