What is Ponte Roma fabric?
Ponte Roma is a type of double-knit jersey fabric. Unlike standard t-shirt jersey which is knitted with a single layer, Ponte Roma is knitted with two layers of yarn simultaneously. This creates a much thicker, medium-weight fabric that looks the same on both sides. It offers a comfortable two-way stretch while remaining firm and holding its shape beautifully on the body.
