Pique Fabric

A pique fabric is typically woven or knit and has patterns of fine ribbing or cording. Pique fabric differs from your standard jersey t-shirt as it has a textured, waffle weave look whereas jersey tees have smooth, flat surfaces

Pique fabrics are typically medium weight and are made using cotton and cotton-polyester blends. One advantage of the patterns created is that the weave is airy and provides additional ventilation. This is particularly nice for knit pique polo shirts that are worn in warm summer months. They are durable, have dimension and texture, show sweat less, but do tend to wrinkle a bit more than standard jersey knits.
