Piqué

Piqué refers to fabrics with alternating raised and lowered areas on the surface, achieved
through tuck stitches in knitted fabrics. Two types of piqué are used in our polo shirts:

Honeycomb Piqué
This type of piqué alternates between knit and tuck stitches in both courses and wales,
resulting in a loose fabric with a honeycomb-like pattern. Honeycomb Piqué

* We use honeycomb piqué in our basic wear polo shirts. It is recommended for applications without signi昀椀cant
mechanical stress.

Single Piqué

The single piqué pattern is created by repeating a sequence of four rows. It starts with a
row of knit stitches, followed by a row alternating between knit and tuck stitches. The third
row again consists of knit stitches only, and the last row alternates tuck and knit stitches
opposite to the second row. This creates a 昀椀ne but stable grid-like pattern. Single Piqué

* You can 昀椀nd single piqué in our Lux polo shirts. It is highly stable and suitable for various applications.
Our stretch polo shirts are made using the same elastane 昀椀lament full-feeder technique as single jersey.

Interlock

Interlock fabrics, also known as double knits, di昀昀er from single jersey in that they
are knitted on two opposing needle beds. A昀琀er each stitch the yarn is transferred

from one needle bed to another, creating a crossover and forming a strong bond.
Knit stitches are produced on both needle beds, resulting in both fabric sides having
the same appearance. Due to the stitch arrangement, interlock is slightly thicker,
making it more robust than single jersey, whilst enabling various design possibilities.
Interlock
* You can find pure interlock made from ACTIVE-DRY° yarn in our Sports-T’s. Its smooth surface allows for
excellent finishing, while our yarn selection ensures great moisture control.

Interlock Mesh

To achieve a mesh effect, loops are elongated at regular intervals on the front needle
bed of an interlock construction. This results in a perforated structure called mesh.
The reverse side remains smooth as in pure interlock. The mesh structure transports
moisture even more efficiently.

* We use “bird-eyelet-mesh” made from ACTIVE-DRY° yarn in our Active 140 sportswear. It is ideal for intense workouts. Interlock Mesh
