Jersey Stretch Fabric Care Guide

At Leina + Fleur, jersey is more than just a fabric - it’s at the heart of our design philosophy. Every jersey we select is chosen with the utmost care for its comfort, quality, and performance. Designed to move with you, flatter your shape, and stand the test of time, our signature jerseys are crease-resistant, easy to care for, and made to feel as good as they look. Whether you're dressing for the everyday or building a capsule wardrobe, our range of premium jerseys offers elevated ease for every season and occasion.

Dry-Touch Jersey

A Leina + Fleur signature, Dry-Touch Jersey is crafted for everyday polish and comfort. With a soft yet dry finish and a slightly heavier weight than slinky jersey, it offers beautiful drape and rich colour payoff. Its 4-way stretch provides flexibility without cling, ensuring a flattering fit that moves with your body while holding its shape. Crease-resistant and low maintenance, it’s ideal for women seeking effortless elegance that works from day to night.

Best suited to transseasonal wear, Dry-Touch Jersey is perfect for layering, travel, and busy lifestyles.

Heavy-Weight Dry-Touch Jersey

For cooler days or when you prefer a more substantial feel, Heavy-Weight Dry-Touch Jersey offers structured comfort. With a firm, hug-like stretch and excellent recovery, it smooths the silhouette and delivers clean, tailored lines. This fabrication maintains the signature softness and drape of our classic Dry-Touch Jersey but with added weight and durability.

Designed for a polished, professional finish, it’s a go-to for winter wardrobes or when you want that little extra confidence in coverage and hold.

Slinky-Base Jersey

Slinky-Base Jersey is our lightest, most fluid jersey fabric - ideal for warmer weather and transeasonal dressing. It features a smooth, almost wet-feel surface that is cool to the touch and drapes beautifully. 

Despite its lightness, this fabrication offers excellent coverage and a high-quality 4-way stretch, moving effortlessly with your body without clinging or losing shape. Its silky texture also glides smoothly over slips and hosiery, making it perfect for layered styling or summer simplicity.

Slinky Jersey is the answer to lightweight ease with refined comfort and year-round versatility.

Caring for Jersey Garments

To ensure the longevity of your jersey garments:

• Machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water
• Turn garments inside out before washing
• Avoid mixing brights with whites
• Do not use fabric softener, as it can cause pilling
• Dry inside out in a shaded area
• Do not tumble dry
• No ironing required

Avoid long-term hanging where possible, and use internal hanging ribbons to maintain shape. Be mindful of coarse or abrasive surfaces that may cause snagging or pilling. Always follow the care instructions on the garment label.

High Pigment Jersey Garments Care

Richly pigmented colours like Magenta, Red or Navy are a stunning choice - known for their vibrant intensity, beautiful drape, and signature Leina + Fleur softness. 

To maintain their brilliance, pre-washing is essential. Turn garments inside out and wash separately on a cold, delicate cycle. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can cause pilling and reduce longevity. Dry inside out in the shade. Some dye transfer to internal labels is normal and expected with deeply saturated colours. 

Avoid pairing with white or light-coloured garments until fully washed to prevent colour transfer. We also recommend avoiding wearing white jackets directly over unwashed high-pigment pieces.
