Jersey fabric, with roots dating back to medieval times, has journeyed from a utilitarian material to a fashion industry mainstay. Originating from the Isle of Jersey, it was initially a wool-based fabric used in fishermen's garments. The industrial revolution and the advent of knitting machines revolutionized Jersey fabric, introducing more varieties, like cotton and synthetic blends, making it a versatile choice in modern fashion.
