The most common weave patterns used in polo fabric are:
1. **Oxford Weave**: This is a common weave pattern for polo fabrics. It is a basket weave with a slightly textured appearance, created by using two different colored yarns that are woven together.
2. **Piqué Weave**: This is another classic weave for polo fabric colour. It has a distinct waffle or honeycomb-like pattern, giving the fabric a slightly raised and textured surface.
3. **Jersey Knit**: While not technically a weave, jersey knit fabrics are also commonly used for polo shirts. They have a soft, stretchy, and smooth hand feel.
4. **Twill Weave**: Twill weaves, such as a 2x1 or 3x1 twill, can also be used for polo fabrics. This weave creates a subtle diagonal rib pattern on the fabric.
5. **Pinpoint Oxford**: A variation of the Oxford weave, pinpoint oxford has a finer, more uniform texture compared to the classic Oxford.
The choice of weave pattern affects the fabric's appearance, texture, and performance characteristics like breathability and drape. Polo shirt manufacturers often experiment with different weave patterns to achieve the desired look, feel, and functionality for their products.
