Workwear guide
A guide to clarifying knit type, weight (gsm), yarn count (Ne) and combed vs carded cotton before ordering wholesale polo shirts.
Polo shirt fabric is decided on three axes: knit type (pique/lacoste holds shape, supreme is thin and soft), weight in gsm, and yarn fineness (Ne). Pique is the classic polo fabric; higher weight gives a fuller and more durable fabric.
Pique (lacoste) is a honeycomb knit that holds shape and is the classic polo fabric. Supreme is a smooth single jersey, thin and soft. Interlock is double-layered, thicker and more opaque.
Weight is measured in gsm; pique polo is typically 180-220 gsm. The Ne count describes yarn fineness: 20/1 is fuller, 30/1 is finer. These are typical ranges that change by model.
Combed cotton (penye) gives a smooth, more premium surface; carded (karde) is more economical with light fuzz. Before bulk ordering, color fastness, wash behavior and the rib collar edge are reviewed together.
Lacoste is a common name for honeycomb pique fabric; in practice both describe the same classic polo shirt knit.
Corporate polo is typically 180-220 gsm; higher weight gives a fuller and more durable fabric.
Ne describes yarn fineness: a smaller number like 20/1 is fuller, a larger one like 30/1 is finer.
Combed suits a corporate look with its smooth premium surface; carded is an economical option for budget-sensitive quantities.
The minimum order is 10 pieces; lead time is typically 7-15 days depending on model and quantity.
