PIQUE (LACOSTE) FABRIC

Pique fabric is a distinctive textile product with its raised textured surface. The term ‘Pique’ comes from the French word ‘piquer,’ which refers to the weaving pattern of the fabric. Pique fabric can be produced from various materials, with the most popular being the cotton fiber used in the production of Lacoste pique fabric for polo shirts. Let’s delve into the question, ‘What is pique fabric?’ in more detail.

Pique fabric is created through a specific weaving technique that uses a combination of threads to form a raised texture on the fabric surface. The texture is formed by weaving a set of threads called the warp over and under another set of threads called the weft. The weft threads are then pushed onto the fabric surface, creating a raised, textured effect.
