Interlock vs birdseye mesh
These names describe fabric structures. They do not, by themselves, establish fibre composition, GSM, stretch or performance.
What should you compare?
| Check | Interlock | Birdseye mesh |
|---|---|---|
| Construction and texture | A double-knit structure, generally with a smooth surface on both sides. | A patterned knit with small eye-like openings or textured motifs. The exact structure varies. |
| Visible openness | Often looks more closed than an open mesh; inspect the actual swatch. | Openness and coverage vary by knit and weight. Check it over the intended underlayer. |
| Composition and weight | Confirm fibre percentages and measured GSM for the selected item. | Confirm fibre percentages and measured GSM for the selected item. |
| Stretch and feel | Depend on yarn, construction and any elastane; confirm on a sample. | Depend on yarn, construction and any elastane; confirm on a sample. |
| Garment choice | Discuss the surface, fit and decoration needed for jerseys or training wear. | Discuss openness, coverage and decoration needed for sports jerseys or vests. |
We have not identified a verified birdseye-specific product specification in the current catalogue. Ask the team which structures and swatches are available. The existing catalogue’s generic mesh is not automatically birdseye.
Structure reference: CottonWorks on interlock. This describes the knit structure, not a Crownseam product certification.
Existing Crownseam fabric options
The current match-jersey range lists polyester mesh at 140 GSM and polyester interlock at 160 GSM. These are options for that garment range, not universal weights for every mesh or interlock. Basketball Kit Studio lists performance polyester mesh at 140 GSM and double-knit polyester mesh at 160 GSM; those names do not establish a birdseye construction.
Ask for the fabric specification corresponding to the garment you order. Approve composition, weight, feel, colour and care instructions with the physical sample.
Common fabrics for custom clothing
These are familiar fabric categories used across teamwear and casual clothing. Availability and the best option for your design are confirmed in the quotation.
Interlock
Used for jerseys and training garments when a smoother double-knit surface is wanted. Confirm composition, weight and stretch.
Cotton jersey
Used for T-shirts and casual clothing. Check fabric weight, fit, wash-care requirements and decoration method.
Fleece
Used for hoodies and warm layers. Ask about fibre composition, brushed finish, weight and care.
French terry
Used for sweatshirts, hoodies and joggers. Check the looped inner surface, weight and the feel of the actual sample.
Tricot and softshell
Tricot is an option for tracksuits; softshell is an option for outer layers. Compare the specific construction and finish for your intended garment.
Make a sample checklist.
Check surface texture, openness, drape, stretch and recovery, colour, wash-care instructions, garment measurements and how your decoration looks. A screen preview cannot prove moisture handling, durability or other tested performance.
