Rot 637 is a bold, saturated red without any blue undertone – a classic, warm red that catches the eye right away and pairs well with other colors from the Vanessa palette.
At 220 g/m², this jersey sits in the medium-weight range: it drapes softly but has enough body so it doesn't turn sheer. Against the skin it feels pleasantly soft, thanks to the 5% elastane content that gives the cotton jersey its stretch.
The fabric drapes smoothly and falls into soft folds without going limp. The elastane blend also means it keeps its shape well after repeated wear and washing. Keep in mind the 5% residual shrinkage when cutting your pieces.
Since Rot 637 matches the color code of Eike (brushed sweat fabric) and the Heike ribbing, you can combine this jersey with those matching fabrics to sew complete outfits with no color mismatch.
