Royalblau 254 is a rich, vibrant blue that makes a statement even in simple solid designs. This Swafing jersey comes in at 220 gsm, placing it in the medium-weight range – soft to the touch with a pleasant drape that's neither too light nor too stiff.
With 5% elastane, the fabric has good recovery: it stretches with movement and springs back into shape afterwards. This makes it comfortable against the skin and well suited for garments that need to fit closely without feeling restrictive.
As a knit fabric, it falls softly and follows the body in gentle waves without climbing or looking stiff. In Royalblau, the fabric reads clear and modern without being overpowering – a shade that pairs easily with other colors while still holding its own.
