Simultaneously eye-catching and incredibly comfortable, very soft and nicely stretchy -- I'm inexplicably drawn to this distinguished rib knit.

The stripes are a deep navy on an off-white, almost natural-colored background, and the whole fabric has a bit of a weathered look in the right light -- just like a well-worn sailor's uniform. A bit more than 50% stretch is coupled with good rebound for maximum comfort.

Great for T-shirts, twinsets, athletic attire, baby clothes, and so much more. If you're lucky enough to live near the beach you can't be without this fabric, and if you have kids in swimming lessons this is the perfect fabric for swimsuit coverups.

The stripes run from selvage to selvage. At 10.4 ounces per linear yard, the fabric weighs 7 ounces per square yard.
