More about "Jersey"
One interesting aspect of jersey is that it can be made from 100% cotton or from a cotton/polyester synthetic blend; it is the knit of the fabric that makes it unique.
Jersey fabric is machine-knit with a very small grain. There is a right side and a wrong side, like most knitted fabrics. The right side has a vertical grain and the wrong side is horizontal. Apparel made with a jersey knit has the vertical grain facing out.
