Why Jersey Quality Varies So Much
Jersey ranges from thin and pilling-prone to dense and durable. Price differences of 30 percent usually reflect real material differences.
Check the GSM
Premium jersey sits between 200 and 240 GSM. Below 180 GSM the fabric becomes translucent and loses shape after a few washes.
Test the Stretch Recovery
Stretch the fabric and release. Quality jersey returns to shape immediately. Poor jersey stays deformed, which shows on the head within an hour.
Assess Colour Fastness
Rub a damp white cloth against the dyed fabric. Colour transfer indicates weak dye fixation and future customer complaints.
Examine Edge Finishing
Overlocked edges last longer than raw cut edges. Ask which finish is included at your price point.
