Lighter weights (140–160 gsm) suit tees, dresses, and swimwear, while heavier options (170–200 gsm) work better for activewear, sportswear, and structured layers. Check our weight pages for the full stocked range.
Not always — our in-stock range is mostly 100% polyester or nylon-spandex and polyester-spandex blends, chosen for stretch, moisture management, and durability rather than traditional cotton constructions.
Bird's eye fabric is most commonly used for t-shirts, dresses, swimsuits, and activewear, plus sportswear and leggings. See our blog for a deeper dive into the weave and its properties.
