Wholesale Piqué Fabric — Common Questions

What is piqué (lacoste) fabric?
Piqué — called lakost in Turkish — is a knit fabric with a small waffle/honeycomb-textured surface. It takes its everyday name from Lacoste, the brand that made the polo shirt iconic. Its breathable structure and smart texture make it the world standard for polo shirts and uniforms. Altunkaya Tekstil produces it at 190-200 gsm in 100% combed cotton and polyester variants.
What is the difference between cotton piqué and polyester piqué?
Combed cotton piqué is made from 100% combed cotton — highly breathable, natural and cool to the touch — the choice for premium polo shirts. Polyester piqué is a durable, wrinkle-resistant, high color-fastness economy variant widely used in workwear and promotional textiles.
Why is piqué preferred for polo shirts?
Its honeycomb texture keeps the skin cool and wicks sweat quickly, while the knit structure gives body to the collar and button placket. Firmer than plain jersey, it keeps a polo shirt's smart, corporate look — which is why it is the standard polo fabric worldwide.
What GSM is piqué fabric?
Altunkaya Tekstil piqué fabrics are 190-200 gsm. Cotton piqué is 125 cm tubular width, polyester piqué is 165 cm open width. This weight offers the ideal balance for polo shirts and uniforms: light but firm-bodied.
Does piqué fabric shrink and how should it be washed?
Combed cotton piqué may shrink slightly in the first wash; washing at 30°C and low-heat drying is recommended. Polyester piqué does not shrink and holds its shape. Relaxing the fabric before cutting minimizes shrinkage in production.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale piqué fabric?
Our MOQ is 50 kg per color for both combed cotton piqué and polyester piqué. Stock colors ship in 2-5 business days; custom Pantone/RAL dyeing takes 10-15 business days. EU shipments arrive in 3-7 days with EUR.1 movement certificates.
