Optical white 2/1 rib gives a sharp, bright look, often used as contrast trim on dark sweat qualities or as a clean, uniform finish on light styles. The rib is well suited for rib trims, necklines and sleeve cuffs on sweatshirts, trousers and cardigans in jersey fabric where you want more body at the edge.

The heavy 300 g/m² rib has a clear structure and stability that makes it suitable for styles used actively. The rib pulls back neatly after stretch, keeping finishes looking clean. Optical white can also be used to create a more sporty look when paired with black or dark grey.

Fabric shops and clothing manufacturers often choose optical white as a standard colour for contrast details because it can be reordered and used across collections. It also works as a neutral base in ranges where customers request light edges and solid colour combinations.

Wash at 30 degrees, preferably inside out. Avoid tumble drying to maintain elasticity and shape.
