Jersey Fabric
What is Jersey Fabric?
Jersey Fabric is a soft, stretchy knit fabric commonly used in clothing. It is typically made from cotton or a blend of cotton with synthetic fibers like polyester or rayon.
It is used for making comfortable and form-fitting garments such as t-shirts, dresses, and blouses due to its elasticity and softness. There is no health evidence related to Jersey Fabric itself, as it is not consumed but worn as clothing.
When you see Jersey Fabric on a label, it usually refers to the type of material your garment is made from, indicating its stretch and comfort level.
Commonly found in: t-shirts, dresses, blouses, sheets, pajamas
The FDA does not regulate textiles such as Jersey Fabric as they are not ingested or used in medical applications.
There is no research focused on health impacts specific to Jersey Fabric since it is not a consumable product.
Jersey Fabric can be vegan if made from plant-based materials, but may not be if it includes animal-derived fibers.

Scout's take
Jersey fabric is typically made from cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers. While it provides comfort and stretch, the presence of synthetic fibers can lead to plastic leaching during washing.
