Colour code 937 is the cosier of both bordeaux shades: warmer, berrier, a touch more rustic than its darker brother. The shade recalls blackberries plus fireside evenings — autumn colour in purest form. As brushed sweat at 245 gsm featuring a cuddly inside, it is the born fabric toward thick family hoodies plus the first autumn-hike jacket. Mustard, ochre plus dark green are this colour's harvest partners; cream brings light into play. Holding both bordeaux shades: 938 dresses the evening, 937 the Sunday walk — beside beige the perfect autumn palette appears.
What Eike Bordeaux is suitable for
- Hoodies
- Joggers
- Sweat jackets
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen. Angerauter Sweat läuft stärker ein als Jersey
- Stretch- oder Jerseynadel in Stärke 80 bis 90, der Stoff ist dicker als Jersey.
- Overlock oder elastischer Stich. Die angeraute Innenseite fusselt an den Kanten, Schnittkanten deshalb versäubern.
- Bei mehreren Lagen, etwa an Kapuze und Taschen, Nähfußdruck verringern oder Obertransportfuß nutzen, damit nichts verschiebt.
- Säume und Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt mit Umschlag, das trägt weniger auf.
- Links bügeln, niedrige Temperatur, die angeraute Seite nicht direkt bügeln.
- Fadenlauf beachten: die Dehnung läuft quer, für Hoodies und Hosen um den Körper legen.

Frequently asked questions
How does Eike differ from summer sweat?
Eike is smooth outside, softly brushed inside — noticeably warmer than summer sweat. At 245 gsm it carries real substance, which makes it the right choice through autumn plus winter, while summer sweat is a lighter fabric.
Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?
Yes, this sweat is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn directly against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash this sweat at 30 degrees inside out in a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer. Pre-wash before cutting: brushed sweat shrinks more than jersey, so allow up to 5 % shrinkage in your fabric calculation.
What is brushed sweat fabric best used for?
Brushed sweat is the classic choice when sewing hoodies, sweat jackets, joggers or warm children's clothing. The softly brushed inside keeps you noticeably warm, making Eike the go-to fabric in autumn or winter projects that should be comfy yet durable.
