Jersey (fabric) - Wikipedia

Jersey is a knit fabric used predominantly for clothing manufacture. It was originally made of wool, but is now made of wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers. Since medieval times, Jersey, Channel Islands, where the material was first produced, had been an important exporter of knitted goods and the fabric in wool from Jersey became well known. The fabric can be a very stretchy single knitting, usually light-weight, jersey with one flat side and one piled side. When made with a lightweight yarn, this is the fabric most often used to make T-shirts. Or it can be a double knitted jersey (interlock jersey), with less stretch, that creates a heavier fabric of two single jerseys knitted together to leave the two flat sides on the outsides of the fabric, with the piles in the middle. Jersey is considered to be an excellent fabric for draped garments, such as dresses, and women's tops.

The following types of jersey can be distinguished:

  • Single jersey--weight: 140 g/m²
  • Double jersey
  • Interlock jersey
  • Jacquard jersey
  • ClocquĆ© jersey
  • Stretch jersey (per American Eagle)

History

In 1916, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel upset the fashion industry by using jersey at a time when it was strictly associated with underwear. "This designer made jersey what it is today--we hope she's satisfied," said Vogue in 1917. "It's almost as much part of our lives as blue serge is."
