Breathable Tech: The Micro-Porosity Secrets of High-Performance Piqué

In my 20 years in apparel, I’ve seen the “Uniform Trap.” Brands source a heavy, dense Piqué thinking it looks “professional,” only for the wearer to start sweating five minutes after putting it on.

At CdGarment, we understand that a Piqué knit is actually a 3D architecture. The “geometry” of the knit determines how air flows to the skin. If the pores are clogged by cheap yarns or improper tension, the “breathability” is just a marketing myth.

The 3 Pillars of CdGarment “Air-Flow” Piqué

1. Geometric Stability: Standard Piqué (Single Piqué) often slants after washing (the “torquing” effect). We use a Double Piqué construction which creates a more stable, symmetrical 3D structure that stays open and keeps its shape, wash after wash.

2. Hydrophobic vs. Hydrophilic Balance: We use a specialized yarn blend—often a long-staple cotton face for luxury feel, paired with a micro-polyester interior. This “pushes” sweat away from the skin and “pulls” it to the surface where the open Piqué pores allow it to evaporate instantly.

3. The “Anti-Pilling” Singeing Process: Cheap Piqué is “fuzzy.” That fuzz blocks the micro-pores. We put our Piqué through a “singeing” process (passing the fabric over a flame at high speed) to burn off every stray fiber, leaving the pores crystal clear for maximum ventilation.

At CdGarment, we don’t just knit fabric; we engineer airflow. Whether it’s for a luxury golf collection or a high-end corporate uniform, our Piqué ensures the wearer stays cool, dry, and sharp.
