Wholesale Short Sleeve Knit Apparel

Knit fabrics are highly valued in performance wear due to their inherent elasticity and breathability. Unlike woven fabrics, the looped structure of a knit allows the garment to stretch and move with the body, which is essential for athletic activities. Our short sleeve knit items, such as those made from polyester mesh or pique, are designed to facilitate airflow and manage moisture effectively. This ensures that the wearer remains cool and dry even during intense physical exertion. Additionally, knit fabrics are often more resistant to wrinkling, making them a practical choice for both sports teams and busy professionals.

Yes, our short sleeve knit apparel is specifically selected for its suitability for customisation. The high-quality knit surfaces, such as the fine pique or smooth mesh, provide an excellent base for various branding techniques. Embroidery is a popular choice for knit polo shirts, offering a professional and durable finish for corporate or club logos. For performance tees, heat transfers and direct printing are often preferred as they maintain the garment's lightweight feel. Many of our products also feature tag-free necks or easy-access points, allowing for seamless rebranding and the addition of custom neck labels for your business or event.

To maintain the performance features of quick-dry knit apparel, such as moisture-wicking and breathability, it is important to follow standard care procedures for synthetic fibres. We recommend washing these garments in cool or lukewarm water with similar colours. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the knit fabric and reduce its ability to wick sweat away from the skin. Air drying is generally preferred to maintain the shape and technical properties of the fabric, although many of our knit items are designed to be quick-drying and can handle low-temperature tumble drying if necessary.

Absolutely. We understand the need for high-quality performance wear for younger athletes and students. Our collection includes specific junior models, such as the Spiro S287J, which offers the same high-performance quick-dry technology as the adult versions. These junior knit shirts are designed with a full fit for comfort and feature durable top-stitched shoulder and sleeve details to withstand active play. Available in a range of sizes based on height, these garments ensure that schools, sports clubs, and youth organisations can provide professional-grade knit apparel that fits perfectly and performs reliably for younger users.
