American Piqué Knitted Fabric

Name: American Piqué
Brand: Tutku Fabric

Sporty construction with a diagonal surface character and durable structure. The stitch layout that suggests a diagonal line creates a lively texture and gives the fabric resistance to abrasion.

Properties

Its firm stance and easy care suit garments that are worn hard; it is common in polos, sweatshirts and sports tops, as well as team and club ranges. Cotton-polyester blends support faster drying and a tidy appearance after washing.

Sourcing American piqué runs between Tutku Fabric and its production partners, and the distinction is usually made on the finishing side. Softening, anti-pilling, moisture management and easy-care treatments are trialled separately or in combination; the effect each finish has on hand, colour and cost is shared openly before the decision, and the preferred recipe is recorded.

Working with Tutku Fabric

Sourcing and sampling process

Tutku Fabric does not knit; it is a sourcing and marketing partner working with mills experienced in this construction. When your enquiry arrives we settle the target weight, width, composition and end use, send suitable options from existing swatch cards and, where needed, plan a trial knit with the mill.

Weight, width and after-wash measurements are recorded on the sample; the approved sample becomes the written reference for bulk. Checkpoints on the greige knit, after dyeing and before dispatch are followed, and requested physical tests are run by an independent laboratory. Minimums and lead time are set with the mill according to colour count and dyehouse schedule, then confirmed to you in writing.
