Pique Fabric

A textured knit fabric characterized by a raised, waffle-like pattern created by a distinctive weave structure. Pique fabric is the standard material used in polo shirts and is also found in athletic wear and corporate uniforms. The term 'pique' comes from the French word meaning 'to prick' or 'to quilt,' referring to the fabric's raised geometric texture. Pique is typically made from cotton, polyester, or cotton-polyester blends. DTF transfers adhere to pique fabric using polyester or cotton-blend press settings depending on the fiber content.
